prefer to back the favorite on the theory

of the gentleman passengers who
made dangerous leaps to the pier
got ashore Capt Catamour went
among the passengers, who were greatly
alarmed, and restored conf lence, assuring
them that they could remain comfortably
on the boat until morning. The water was
very rough and the ferry boad rolled heav-
lily. It was attempted to the moor the steamer
OFF the American docks, but she would
not stay there under the severe blow,
and the captain started for Clifton Landing
As it was impossible to reach it safely, The
boat started up the stream towards New
York. As it was opera night there were
more passengers than usual, and about sixty
gentlemen and ladies were obliged TO remain
on the boat until morning.
