Aboard the Guard Bout Arrov,m,,b.

The steamer Arrowsmith b started from the
CAST river end OF Broome street at about two
o'clock, and went rapidly up the stream to the
position to which she had been assigned as one
% tue guard boats ON board were few more
than a hundred men, acquantances Of Gen.
Newton and the engineers at Hallett's Point.
Many opera-glasses were used and all crowded
to the side OF the boat toward Halletts Point to
look at the spot where, according to their ex
pectaton. very exciting, II not dangerous ex-
hloitlon, wac soon to lie made. A haf hour Of
,attina was 10 be endured, aud the time was
chiefly spent In guessing at the consequences 6f
the explosion. Lunches were bought by few,
OF two women who sold vi4nds, with life-pre-
servers ht their sides, ready for instant use. Ibe
signal guns distinctly marked periods OF in
creasing interest, and the nve minutes before
the explosion were doubtless full OF intense
sensation to those whose positions seemed to
expose them to at least little peril. The typi-
cal observer held watch IN one hand, an
operagiass In the other, and did not breathe
often during the last minute of the suspense.
The elimination, however satisfactory "a a
climax OF the seven years OF work at Hell Gate,
was disappointing rs an exhibition. Tue pas
senger5 uid not clutch railings To keep them
selves from being thrown overheard by the vio-
lent rolling OF the boat, nor gasp for breath in
the outpouring OF poisonous gas nor D odge fall
ing chunks OF rock. After the blast there was
"A brief interval of silence, as though they ex-
pected something more, ami were a little cha
grined that their experience did not amount to
an adventure. Then somebody proposed three
cheers for Gen. Newton, aud the response with
Concluding tiger" was hoarty.

Aboard tho Guard Boat Never.,nL.

The guard boat Neversink started from
the foot of Ihirty-third street at 1870 with less
than 100 Invited passengers. Gen. Newton's as
sistant engineer, Mr. A. DosTfinRsr, had barge
OF the steamer. Among the guests were
Senators Jones, Bogy, and willard, tho Rev.

tor Bloodgood, Commander Heywar Lieuts.
W. I. BurwelI aud e. N. whitehouse,
U. 5. NJ and Capts. England and Al
thorp OF the British army. The Never
sink reached her post between Ward g
ISLAND and the rocky point which divides Il
from Diaekwell's Island nearly AN hour before
the EXPLOSION. Hundreds OF small boats lined
the shore, and were kept back Of the danger line
only by the orders Of assistant engineers backed
by the show Of police Aboard the Neversink
the scientific men gathered IN the bow and cam
yassed the PROBABLE effect OF the explosion.
When tho second sgual gun was fred only ten
n. inutes before the blast the steamer was trying
to present nor bow to the possible tidal wave
IN, N watches wore consulted, timid EN- COVER

Tho third gun started many, who thought it was
