NAPLES, ITALY, March q, $780,
The squadron has experienced a disagreeable
week Unusually fierce squalls have swept the
beautiful bay of Naples. Heavy rain, accom-
panied by lightning, has prevailed almost I'M
ceasingly. At Que time on Thurs
day it looked extremely likely that
the Atlanta, which is moored at the end of the
breakwater, would have to slip her cables and
moorings and start out to sea in order to avoid
collision with the Italian bark Silenzio, which
was moored between her and the Chicago. A
terrific squan from the southeast caught
her on the star board quarter and wrenched one
>df her steel bits, to which her weather moor
ings were fastened, clean out of its socket. The
mOOrings were speedily shifted to the main and
the admiral's permission was requested to get
up steam. After an hour or so, however, the
wind shifted to another quarter during rain
squan and the ships were enabled to ride to
their mooTings with much more comfort.
