that Of nursing child.
The big yellow New Hampshire was towed down
the bay by two tugs from Hobolcn at about l
o'clock in the afternoon Her clumsy, ark-hke
appearance made her the object Of much attention
and the subject of many remarks from passengers
on ferry boats in the Upper Bay. But to the pas
sengers of the cholera ships and to the harassed
health officers she was thing of beauty, for she
came on errand of mercy and meant an urgently
needed relief She was anchored near the cholera
feet The Stonington, tenantless and empty,
swung at anchor near her and bowed to the swelb
that rolled in by Sandy Hook, in strange contrast
90 her bulky neighbor of the United States Navy
lying as steady house in the sea.
Another boat though humble one, has been
practically added to the cholera feet. 1t lis the
William A. Fletcher, and the crew, who deserted
her on Saturday builded better than they knew,
for the unfortunates who shipped in their places
cannot leave the Lower Bay, as the Fletcher has
been quarantined.
OF the ships which are quarantined in the
upper bay, quarantine which seems like
Elysium compared to the sterner one below the
Narrows, there were last night only six, the
big Wieland with her three yellow tunnels, tho
Cunardcr Aurania, of ocean-racing fame. the white
and handsome Kaiser Wilhelm ii, the Dubbeldam,
or these, according to a statement made last
night by DR.. Jenkins, it is possible that the
Columbia Dubbeldam and La Champagne may
be released to-day or tomorrow. The unhappy
Wieland must probably pay penance OF seven
more days La Champagne has happy or at
least demonstrative crowd on board who cheer
and shout at every passing thing that floats
from Long Island clam Spanard TO a man-of-war.
When the joy shows signs of tagging the band
on board strikes up La AIarseillalse, and OIL the
excitable people 90 again, making despicablc
melody, which floats chcerfuy over the water and
cheers the crowd of newspaper men shore, tired
with watching for news of sickness and death.
The presence of plague ships seems 10 have
fascination which draws pleasure craft. The
number of steam yachts which cruise slowly near
the quarantine shipping is remarkable and their
happy and lucky passengers furnish striking
contrast to the penncd-up immigrants in the steer
age of the big ships, all looking wistfully toward
the land and watching enviously the vessels
which are free to come and go they please.
Tho most familiar object now is the big and hand
some revenue cutter Grant Her arrival has be.
come a lookcd-for thing in each days chapter OF

OH board were Secretary Foster. also members OF

Mr. Low and Mr. Babcoclc were put ashore at

and she steamed down the Lower Bay TO the
Cepheus where DR.. Jenkins left her TO superin-
tend the removal OF the cabin passengers OF the
Normannia. ~---' pol
Tho Grant took her other passengers to Sandy
Hook, where they made examination. Then
she steamed back to New-rork City with them
as swiftly as possible, carrying jib and staysau
to help her on her way. At dusk she came down
the bay again headed out 10 sea- 1t was reported
that she went TO Fire Island.
