THE GREAT EASTERN HER DEPARTURE.
The Great Eastern lett New York Sunday,
| her trip to Cape May. An exchange gives the
| following account of her departures
Captain Hall appeared on the wheel house next
! TO the city, and uttered clear commands; and
! while all the people wondered whether the
strength of the two tugs would be equal to the
| task Of drawing off the boat, the paddle wheel
slowly and with majesty turned, and like a huge,
no1seless, phantom, the Great Eastern gllded from
the shore without the assistance OF either tug
| The movement was SO quiet and grand, the SEN
! ses could scarcely realize that the monster was
not inspired with more than the wonderful genins
of her designer. Any little vessel that gets out
! i'll the channel makes more fuss and has more
trouble than made AMI had the Great Eastern,
! and Philadelphia must settle about the mud Ill
which she firmly embedded.
| The mighty bulk moved gracefully the
water out in the stream her anchors were drop
ped, and the boat nodded salute to the city, the
! flags of England and the United States waving
fore and aft.
