NINE WoRKMEN DROWNED.

They Were In q Boat Which Was Swamped
by the Wash of Steamer at New York.
QUARANTINE, s. l., Nov. 6.-For sew
eral months extensive improvements
to the quarantine plant at Hoffman
and Swinburne islands, under Con-
tractor Colin McLain, have been going
on, necessitating the employment OF
a large number of men, who were
accustomed to return to their homes
every Saturday afternoon, returning
on Monday morning. Boats employed
by the contractors have been employed
in transferring them to South Beach,
the nearest point to Staten island,
from which the men could reach their
homes in New York and Brooklyn by
trains and ferryboats.
During the severe storm Saturday
afternoon a boat containing eighteen
or twenty of these workmen started for
South Beach. When within a short
distance of the pier on the beach the
boat was overturned by the wash OF
the steamboat Holmdell, which was
passing down the bay. All on board
the boat were thrown into the sea and
at least nine were drowned.
