She Sailed From Richmond In the Place of
the Old Dominion.


For the first time in several years the Roa-
noke. Of the Old Dominion Line yesterday
sailed from this port. Quite large was the
number who Witnessed her departure. and
fortunately there was but a single hitchin the
proceedings OF leaving.
There is something about the sailing Of a
steamer that is singularly fascinating, and for
the nOnce gives TO the dock a metropolitan
appearance. People hurry with undue haste.
the captain Is asked all sorts Of unnecessary
questions. the purser's hair turns white IN his
frantic efforts 10 give everybody tier key,
the stowardess tells every lady passenger that
the ocean will lie smooth, the assistant purser
loses all Christianity In his endeaTOrs with
trunks and valises and the only man who
can sit on the hurricane deck and look peace
full is the steward.
Yesterday the scene enacted was not differ
ent from those that have preceded. and when
the whistle blew the usual good byes were
said the usual tear came rolling down the
cheek and the usual waving of mndkerchieis
and hats as the majestic creation Heated
down on the bosom Of the muddy James.
The Roanoke left at 3 o'clock so as 10 take
advantage of the high tide. and by so doing
caused one man. at least. TO think life not

by big valiSe and when hess the steamer
sailing away he inquired why IN the thunder
didn't they let fellow know they would sail
az 3 o'clock instead of 8.
If he had shown any agility, however, he
would have boarded the ship. for there were
several taut lines reaching from the shore 10
the boat. but his mental anguish evidently
Overcame his muscular development, for he
stood like a statue and wept few silent tears
and departed.
Through the courtesy 81 Captain Cunning
ham. of the tug Henry Christian, the ship
made her departure eIsily. The tug very
neatly turned the Roanoke around. and three
blasts from the ship told the tug that its
efforts were appreciated. The passenger
lists were made mainly of New York people,
but several RichmOnders Will 90 aboard at
