Giro IN snend O. farv ora in nIoasant SAIL It has

sire to spend few hours in pleasant sail. 1t has
been customary among those who go down to sea
in ships to place their craft at the disposal of ex-
cursion parties who may desire to revisit the ia
miliar points in the bay.
The Etaza Hancor, favorably known as a Savan-
nah and Georgetown Packet and commanded by
Captain J. E. RICHARDSON, was advertised for an
excursion trip around the Earbor. Unfortunately
the threatening aspect of the skies kept few
| timid characters at home, but those who were not
afraid OF a little shower boldly made the venture,
and, as if to reward their faith, the clouds we're
soon dispersed and the evening was in every
respect charming, and tho trip was enjoyed by all
on board.
The Hancor was equipped according to the
| standing regulations, and the music Of MuLLER's
Band brought the past more wildly before the
mind; and the imagination pictured James Island
and the different Notifications as they were three
years ago, and the change was hardly realized
Mr.. W. a. LEE, the attentive Purser Of the Han
co1, soon made tho passengers feel at home, and
took pleasure in pointing out any Of the beauties
Of the scenery.
The Han soI left Accom- nodation Wharf at 4 P.
M.. and steamed past Sumter and Moultrie to the
Light Ship returning, the vessel sailed by Morris
Island, and around James Island up the Ashley to
the New Bridge, and from there to her wharf
The ruined walls of Sumter attracted universal
attention, and the gray old fortress that had
stood the memorable siege looked yet grand amid
| her ruins. Moultrie, Wagner, and the Federal
| Notifications, were also noted, and the wreck of
the steamer Esiwan, which was sunk during the
siege, was pointed out by her late Captain, Mr..
W. 7. McNEITY, who was among the guests on
the Hdncor. OF Morris Island q curious machine
attracted attention, and it was stated by the
knowing to be intended to raise the wreck of The
monitor Keokuk.
To name the different points Of interest in the
harbor, would be impossible, and we can only ad-
wise those who wish to pass pleasant afternoon,
to be prepared for the next excursion party. We
understand that this will not be the only trip Of
the season, and many who were kept at home on
| account Of the threatening weather, will have an
opportunity to breithe the sea air.
