Fire Island, Sept 12-When the

great crowd had assembled. but
no one in the throng would
take the lines of the boat and aid
ln fastening her 10 the dock. The crew
of the Cepbeus, enragcd at this refusal
turned the boats hose on the crowd and
gave them drenching. The steamboat
could not make landing and was final
ly compelled to anchor in the channel
opposite the Surf Hotel. Two attempts
We're made TO tie up at the dock, but
each one proved unsuccessful.
