Il Grorgisnna, from the Eastern Shore
to-day, Was Miss Sarah Csllawsy, o
seaford, Delaware, . very pretty blond
Of seventeen. When the steamer ar
rived the young girl Was observed seat
Cd at . window, and scanning with
eager interest the throng On this pier
but ths fsse for which she looked WA
not TO BE- seen, and the girl wept Bit
tprly. Tuesday last WAS to have been
her wedding ds5, and her cousin, Chas.
Ross, was " have been her husband.
They are both from the little town ol
Ssaford, sad were playmstss. When
the Gsorgianna stopped at the wharf at
Cambridge ON Monday, among the eth
er passengers who came on board Was
Mss Galway. She was alone.
At Peters Landing tho steamer
stopped again, and aSs'hsr passenger
crossed the gang. plank. This was the
virl's cousin and bstrothsd, Charles
Ross. The tive promenaded the saloon

and, telling the girl he was going out to
lind a minister, the ysuug man bade
her good by aud lsft the wharf. Shs
seated herself near the window and
watched him. He walked across tbs
street. That was the last she saw Of him.
All the day she watched al tho wisdo~
dou biting and fearing, but watched In
vain.
At night, when the busy prepara
ton, hustle and confusion on tbs whar
warned her that the steamer WAS pre-,
pairing to leave, no one on the vesse
knew her, but her forsaksn and be-
wildersd looks excited the pity Of the
officers, who tried to find her runaway
lover. At . O'Clock the GeOrsianDa
steamed out Of ths harbor, the girl still
p.ering out of the window. This morn
ing the steamer returned, and tho
young girl was still Oh beard. Think
ing that perhaps Eer lover had missed
the boat, she decided to remain on
board. This morning she occupied the
same position at the window. Her face
which, when she first went on board
the steamer, was rosy with health, now
looks pale and car-worn.
Her intended husband is thirty years
old, aud wears light blonde mustache.
The person In whose company M is
known to have been last is Sam Welsh,
a cattle droser. Welsh says that he
met Ross on Light street, and at his in.
vitation took drink with him. Welsh
remained with him until s So'clock. He
was then slightly under the influence
Of liquor, and wanted to treat every
body he met. Welsh does not know
anything further about him. His
trunk was taken in wagon, but that
Of his intended bride still remains on
the steamer. lie also took with him
the girls po,ketbook, containing all
the money she had. After watching at
