housetOps where they for hours found
refuge.
A report reached here tonight from the

lower river with provisions by the Pine
Bluff citizens. Six hundred and fifty more
people were fed and rescued from their peril

| Weather Prevails.
ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May 23.-Captair
William A. Andrews, of Boston, who il
here constructing the boat in which he in.
tends to cross the ocean expects to sail by
July. 1t will be the smallest craft that has
been built for transatlantic voyage, 141S
| feet in length, five feet in beam, and will
| carry not more than Is square yards of sail
The new boat is named the Flying Dutch
man and is six inches shorter than the Nau-
titus in which Captain Andrews made the
voyage in 1878.
During his three former trips Captain
Andrews found that his wood bottom crafts
had become heavily weighed with barnacles
and seaweed, which greatly hampered prog
ress. He claims of the new boat that the
canvas will avert this trouble. The deck Is
on the whale-back plan. There is an open
ing, or cockpit, in nautical vernacular,
8 by 8 feet, in which there is
Just room enough for q person to
sit comfortably. Under the deck are COM
partments in which the provisions are to be
stored. The mast rises eight feet above the
deck, and the boom Is IL feet The gait
will be ten feet, and the total sail carried
will be less than 15 square yards. Three
hundred pounds of lead will be securely
fastened to the bottom, and it will be almost
impossible for it to capsize. Should such
an accident happen, however, it will right
without assistance. There are no water
tight or alright compartments.
Little danger is expected from high seas,
and should the hold fill with water it will
not damage the food supplies, as they will
consist altogether of canned goods and pre-
serves in sealed jars The precise time for
starting has not been decided upon, but
Captain Andrews says it will be the
latter part Of June or early in July.
1t will be made from this city. Captain
Andrews thinks it will take about 40 days
to cross the big pond. He will head tor
Queenstown, but ne is likely to make harbor
at the first land he might sight. 1t is his
intention to return with the Flying Dutch
man by steamer and have the boat exhibited
at the Worlds Fair.

When the Romans manumitted a slave
his head was dorned with a small red cloth
cap. As soon as this was done he was known
as hbertinus or freedman, and his name
was registered among others of the city's
tribes" In the year 263, when Saturnfnus
invaded the capital he hoisted a cap on the
point of his spear to indicate that all slaves
who rallied around this standard should be
free. This was the origin of the liberty cap,
still used in art as a symbol.
