A Patrol Which Doesn't Patrol.
QUARANTINE, N. Y, September 16.-
The patrolling of the bay with a view to
prevent anyone approaching the pest
ships appears to be sadly neglected.
Late last night a reporter went down the
bay on tug to ask the police patrol boat
if the Bohemia had arrived. He steamed
about the cholera fleet and was within
$50 yards of the Normannia. No trace
of the patrol boat could be found, al
though the reporter blew his boats whis-
tie repeatedly. The pzs5rol boat was fl
nally sighted fastened with a rope to the
Carlton, the police ship, but the patrol
paid no attention to the reporters whis-
ties until the tug was within Is yards of
her. Then an officer came on board but
returned without answering the report
er's questions. The rest of the patrol
were asleep in stateroom below. Any
of the infected vessels could apparently
be boarded without the slightest inter
ference from the police.
