Description Of the Vessel.
On Saturday, the 18th OF May, the steamship
George Cromwell, commanded by Captain S. l..
Capp, left this port for New Orleans, where 1t was
expected that she would arrive by the 25th ult.
Since she passed Sandy Hook no tidlngs OF any
description have been heard of her, and the great
est anxiety exists in this city among the friends of
the officers. crew and passengers as to what mis-
fortune may have happened to the overdue craft.
The following information was furnished yesterday
evening by the owners, Messrs. Clark b Seaman.
at the office OF the Cromwell line, at SO Wesa
street,
The George Cromwell is quick sailing steam
ship, and was built In this city, IN 1862, 6y
Messrs. Roosevelt. Joyce Co., and , Is OF ssS So
breadth Of beam and % feet depth OF hold.
Her engines which are drectacting, were con-
was worth sl56,ooo, ana was insured in this city,
The cargo was probably worth aS much, but as TO
with 1--WE lie boats, all ia drst class order, each
capable Of holding at least twenty people,
and was furnished with provisions ton for the
by the United States inspector OF steam vessels
within the last twelve months, and was as sea-
worthy vessel as ever left the port. She has
been engaged for several years In the trade ana
her Officers are all reliable and responsible men,
In word she was well manned In every respect
LIST OF OFFICERS AND PASSENGERS AS FAR AS
KNOWN.
Owing to the shipping articles being kept on
board the steamer II Is not possible to give the
HERALD an accurate list OF the officers and crew.
We never take the addresses OF the passengers.
The following Is the best information that we can
give at the present ent:-Captain, L. ). Clapp,
Of Brooklyn; first officer. Mr. crawford; hrst engi-
heer, Mr.. JAMESON, who has been many years In
our service; second engineer, Mr. McDonads
steward, Mr.. Prenzel. The following Is
the list OF the seven passengers Mr.
Fulierlove, Mrs. J. w. Dockendorf, Mrs.
s. Dale, all In the cabin; while Joseph Gillick,
Robert Willis, Jose Fodina and Hanna Scott coll
Ored were In the second cabin. The officers and
crew number thirty, which, adding the seven
passengers makes an aggregate OF tnlrty-seVen
souls on board.
THE OWNERS THEORY.
We do not believe that the Cromwell Is lost, but
imagine that her machinery has broken down and
that she is proceeding under sail, and calm refec-
ton has led this belief The weather has been
so fine OF late that she can have encountered no
storm. Had she gone ashore we should have heard
OF 1t by telegraph ere this. Feeling anxious as to
her non-arrival at New Orleans, we teiegrapned to
that city last Wednesday, and learned In reply
that nothing was known OF her movements Her
shaft Is capable OF being disconnected, so that she
Is enabled to sail WE'LL In conclusion, we would
say that far from believing that she Is lost
and believe that ere long we shall have tidlpgs OF
her,
Thanking the owners for their courtesy, the re-
porter withdrew.
