Among the arrivals yesterday the most
no.able was the Emily Reed with general
cargo This ship left New York Dos days
ago, and had fair weather until of the River
Platte. when she encountered a succession
of very heavy southeast gales, which lasted
several days.
About the only damage done was to the
rud1er, the heavy sea twisting the rudder
head clean off, so that for time the ship
was unmanageable. As soon as possible the
preyenter chains were cleared away and the
vessel was steered by means of tackles over
each quarter.
The ship was then headed for the harbOr
of RIO de Janeiro, where she arrived four
teen DAYS later The damaged rudder was
unshipped and the Emily Reed proceeded on
her voyage, reaching this port without
further accident
There was considerable excitement among
the clearinghouse runners who went off to
her yesterday after arrival, when II was
given out that she had smallpox on board.
A few days after leaving Rio de Janeiro the
second mate was taken down and it was
soon apparent that the disease was case of
varioloii. The sick man was confined to his
the disease volunteered to nurse him.
Every precaution was taken to prevent the
disease spreading and in three weeks the
sick man was able to return to his work.
Captain Sheldon had the room fumigated
and every particle of both mems clothing
was thrown overheard and the ship fresh
painted throughout. Soon after leaving
New York one Of the crew, Claus Muirer,
native of Germany, aged - years, died ana
was buried at sea. He was sick when he
went on board and rapidly sank until he
died.
RUN OF BAD LUCK.
For the last two years the Emily Reed has
had a run of hard luck her previous pas
sage from this port was terrible one, and
SIZE reached Rio de Janeiro with but two
men besides the officers able TO work. The
ship had fair run to Cape Horn, but as
soon as she was in the Atlantic she struck
bad weather.
Gale after gale was encountered. but no
great damage sustained until September
18th, when the ship had to be hove to. a
terrible sea was running and tons OF water
We're poured over the ship, keeping the crew
busy making things secure. At halt-past
