Fifth Day OF the Cruise-Leaving
GreenpOrt for New LOndon-The Run
Across Long Island Sound.

NEW LONDON July ~ 1874.
At an early hour this morning the harbOr or
Greenport wore an animated appearance. From
the yachts the sounds OF preparation for the run
across the SOUND to New London were distinctly
heard, and the boys and girls on shore had waited
to them the odor OF fried onions and broiled beef
steak, denoting an early breakfast. The Made
leine lay near the upper shore, with the white
ribbed Sea Witch broadside to her. The sedate
Clio was within call, and the stout sloop
Sadie near biscuit could be tossed
on her deck from the Comet, whose sides
looked like bank Of snow rising from the dull
waters. The balance of the fleet were in good POI
sitons for the start, and the hearts OF the jol'
tars beat high as the moderate breeze from ne
south was lresbening. At IN. Ism. the first gv ID =

these Young scamps had good deal to
do with this result. and that their ac-

II matter that should not Lave been taken

This crime is one of a class for which We
