DENSE FOG IN OUR HARBoR.

DENSE FOG IN OUR HARBoR
A dense fog enshrouded the shipping in the
harbor yesterday, rendering navigation perilous The
sailing vessels which Glanced to be in the stream hardly
ventured weigh anchor, and the steam craft were
Obliged make OF their whistles at frequent inter
yals and even then there were many narrow
escapes from collision. AS early a. O'Clock,
the Hunters Point and James-slip ferry-boats
stopped running, but we're restored to the
line later in the day Neither the North nor the East
River ferry boats with regularity, and on several
of the lines boats withdrawn In few instances
serious delays experienced by hundreds OF pas
sengers when the tog was very dense Unfortunately,
tho fog was thickest at about a. Man hour when
thousands their way to business, both from
New Jersey and Long Island.
The Plainneld OF the Communipaw line with several
hundreds OF passengers narrowly escaped an accident al
about $3.50 a. m the center of the stream
whom large schooner suddenly doomed up dead ahead
With sudden turn VI the wheel the pilot avoided the
accident and the Planhod succeeded In reaching her
slip. Other boats other lines had several narrow
escapes and until late in the afternoon that
the fog lifted sufficiently render navigation compare
lively safe Rain fell at Intervals during the day but
the sky Was comparatively clear at night.
