TALES OF THE STORMY SEA.
OVERDUE STEAMSHIPS COMING INTO PORT

THE zAAYDAM REpORTED EY TIE TRAVE AND
THE ENGLAND SIGHTED OFF F:RE ISLAND.

Tho first was when the North German Lloyd
steamship Trave arrived and reported that on
November at 10 p. IN. size had sighted the
overdue Nethcrland-Amcrican steamship Laandam
making hor way slowly toward this port. when
the Trave sighted her she was 40 miles out
from New-lork, and as she did not ask for
assistance it is believed that her crew succeeded
well repairing her bro<cn-down engines that
she can come into port under her own steam.
Shc was stcamins slowly when the Trave sighted
her.
The next piece of good news reached the city
In the afternoon when dispatch was received
from the lookout at Fire Island saying that the
overdue National Line steamship England had
been sighted at 3:15 p. IN. ten miles southeast
fom the light Tie dispatch stated that tho
ship going slowly, apparently under tow
Later a telegram arrived saying that the ship was
going under her own steam, and proceeding at
such slow rate that she mi glt not reach Quaran-

Line people said that they would not send out

The Trave had an exceedingly rough voyage
