The Gunboat Concord Taken Through

Francis w. Bell's Great Feaa
NEW YoRK, Nov. eos-The gunboat Com
cord started back out Of aer berth at the
foot of Eighth street, East river, At ive
minutes past O'CLOCK yesterday, with Capt.
M. 8. Woodhnli in charge and Pflot Francis
w. BELL directing the course. By using the
twin screws the vesses was turned quickly
and headed up stream. and In q few minutes.
she was started aheaa 40 fun speed.
IL soon became apparent that something
was wrong with the sseering apparatus, As
the ship failed 90 answer her hetn. An ex-
animation showed that the steaaA steering
engine was not connected. This was due 10
the fact that worknaan who had discon-
nected the steam steering engine and partly
connected the haad-wheei. had been dis
charged. aud had not notified anyone OF
the state In which ne had left the steering
gear.
N0t'a moment was 10 be Lost. tn~ stream
AZ that time being full Of vessels. With no
little skill. pilot Francis w. Bell brought
the vessel under complete control, aud, 20
the wondernent of all the officers on board.
headed the Concord for He'll Gate opening
There was mo- tlne for hesitation. The en-
gines had 20 be kept going. To have stopped
then for an instant would have meant the
certain destruction of the vessel. The tide
and current would have swept her fun on
the rocks.
Pilot Bell was the embodiment OF cool
ness. With Capt. woodruff at one indicator
and himself at the other. he called out;
sFull speed. port engine" leach lever
down, back her ahead. fun speed, /" also
with great rapidity himself working the
starhoard indicator. To the CONSERVATION
of all, He'll Gate was fouhd full OF vessels,
Among others coming down from above was
the big New Haven passenger steamer
Continental. liz was evident 10
those on board the Continental that
the Concord. despite her man
agement, was cranky. The big vessel, no
little surprised. came 10 a dead stop while
two schooners apparently recognizing that
something was wrong, sheered close to. In
few minutes. which seemed ages, the Con-
cord glided In and past the dangerous gate.
with y ss.Ils Pilot Bell turned aad -Rsaaea
20 Commander Bachelor and nodded Just
Rs the latter exclaimed; ''Weil done, pilot.
That is the first time vessel was ever taken
Through Hell Gat. ss444+ts.ft n rttaAeHr =, c-sss
pIiments from all sides were showered upon
Bell. everyone forgetting In the remarkable
GOODNESS OF the man, the imminent danger
OF the past few minutes.
On reaching College Point, the Concord
was stopped and la fifteen minates her
crew had the steering gear working per-
fectly. The vessel was headed up the
sound and given a slight squirt Of speed,
going past City island. When on Execution
rock she was making seventeen knots an
hour, with 12O pounds of steam and las
revolutions per minute Everything worked
smoothly In the engine room. The indica-
tions are.for n most successful trial to-day
