Not only have the citizens, who from
choice or necessity remained here during
the epidemic, been daily liable to be
stricken to death by this fell disease as SO
MANY have, but those who fed have suffered
not only untold discomforts and
pecuniary embarrassments, but even death
likewise, as the following incident will
serve to prove. A party, consisting of
James Hall, Jr., a well-known carpenter in
East Jacksonville, his father, James Hall,
Benson Lyman, wife and two small
children and two unknown men,
we're informed through the sister of
Mr.. Lyman, who was nurse at
St. Luke's hospital, on the first intimation of
the probability of yellow fever becoming
epidemic. They decided Immediately TO
leave for place of safety, and, owning
some property down on Lake Worth, deter
mined to make that their objective point,
thinking they could go there and spend the
time in safety. Together they built two
boats, launched and loaded them in Hogans
creek, at the Adams street bridge, and
started against the advice of their friends,
willing to face the unknown dangers OF an
ocean voyage, in two small boats. whose
sea-worthiness had never been tried, and
consequently could not be known.
EVERY PORT CLOSED.
After their departure from this city they
were first heard of as trying to land at
Mayport. This they were not permitted to
do, so they crossed the bar and went safely
to Lake Worth; but by the time they
reached that place a rigid quarantine had
been established and they turned back,
after trying in vain to make a landing.
They were compelled to return, and again
made the perilous voyage in safety
back to st. Augustine. From
there after being driven away,
they sailed for Fernandina, where they
tried to land, but with no better success.
That night a terrible storm arose, and
about II O'Clock it was blowing almost
hurricane. The whole party was beyond a
doubt drowned, as they have not been heard
from since, although it is said that an un-
identified body was washed ashore on
Nassau island few days afterward. Miss
Lila Lyman has now gone to Camp Perry,
from which place, after the ten days deten-
tlonrequired by the quarantine regulations,
she will go to Lake Worth to try to find
out something definite in regard to the fate
Of her family and friends.
THE FIRST BOAT IN TWO MONTHS.
The schooner Nettie Langdon is now un-
loading q cargo of coal at Fosters wharf.
This is the first vessel that has arrived and
discharged freight in this city In two
months Preparatory to her departure for
The north she Will load with lumber at
Cashen's mill. She is one Of the many be-
longing to DIR. j. c. L'Engle. The arrival of
this vessel and the Bucki, and the reopen
ing Of four stores during the past week, are
decided pointers" toward the return of
business prosperity.
PASSED BY A CIGARETTE PICTURE.
A gentleman of this city, after securing
a proper pass, recently started out to visit
his family. who we're stopping outside the
coTdan. When but little way out he dis
covered that he had lost the pass, but
nothing daunted he rode on until he met
the guard, who promptly demanded to see
de pass, boss" Coolly putting his hand in
his pocket he drew out a cigarette picture
ana handed it to the guard, who took it,
examined it, and returned it with salts
ned nod, saying: "Dat's all right, sab !;
pass right on"
FEVER AT BALDWIN.
Postmaster Clark received dispatch this
afternoon saying that there was fever at
baldwin, and asking him to send the mail
