Written of this city. Capt. Benson writes
from Pensacola, Florida, and gives the fol-
lowing description of his experience in the
heavy gale of the 8th inst:
The Gertie Lewis sailed in November for
the coast of Florida, for the purpose of fish
ing there, marketing her fares at Pensacola
She formed one of a feet of fishermen, the
majority of the vessels being owned in Mas
sachuSetts. The weather this winter has
been changeable and violent, the heavy
given place to severe storms from the West
On the 18th of January, about all the fish
ing vessels were out along the coast, and
were struck by severe gale from the west,
changing to the northwest. The gale came
on so suddenly that the vessels were caught
lying at anchor, and being unable to hoist
the anchors and get under way in the midst
of the terrible wind and sea, they were
obliged to ride out the storm until cables
and anchors gave way The schooner Ne
pOnSet of Boston was the only vessel which
did not break from her mooringS.
The schooner Alice, of ProYincetOWn, Suf-
fered severely, and also all the vessels be-
longing in Pensacola. The schooner Fannie
L. Nye of Cohasset, has not been heard from
at this writing.
After the cable of the Gertie Lewis parted,
our storm foresail was set at one, but could
not stand the heavy press of wind, and was
blown to pieces. We then set the main stay
sail, but the vessel refusing to lie up into the
wind, a water cask was attached to hawser
for dredge, but on Jan. 8, at2 a. M, a heavy
sea boarded the vessel, staving four Of our
dories and the forward companionway
On the 18th of January, we had about
three inches of ice on our decks, and the
ships lying in this port had their bows COM
pletely embedded in ice.
The Gertie Lewis was doing fair winters
work, and leads the other vessels in the

He stopped him and had a conversation with
him.
Gledhill admitted that he was in the city
with his wife, who Mr.. Hill knew OF course,
since she was a regular attendant at his
fathers church in this city. He also limited
that he was in an awkward position, which
he was unwilling to explain. He acknewl-
edged, however, that it was very unfortunate
for his wife She, he said, was very much
worried about her mother and wanted to
write to her, but he would not consent; in
fact, he said, he couldn't consent, but init
mated 1t would be better for her If she was
not with him. Mr.. Hill offered to take
charge of Mrs. Gledhill, and write to her

The president also reported that the latter
part of last year the agency system had been
completely reorganized; that its new bust
ness for the last four months Of 1885 exhibits
a remarkable gain over the corresponding
months of the year previous, and that not
withstanding the cost that arises in securing
so large an increase of new business, the
management has made a saving in
the expense account of S7,911.67 as COM
pared with the prior year; that the bust
ness so far in January, 1886, received at the
Office of the company, exceeds in amount the
business of the whole month of January,
1885; and thai the outlook for business in
the year 1886 is encouraging In every respect.
The above exhibit of the companys BUSH
ness for the past year is a gratifying one to
its friends, denoting as it does a successful
years business and increased prosperity.
