The survivors of the ill-fated City of
Savannah landed on Coffin Point are
safe.
The stranded vessel liesoan the break
ers off Hunting Island, where she struck,
and is fast settling.
The news that the tug Paulsen, with
the remainder of the passengers and crew
Of the Savannah, was coming up the river
spread through the city yesterday shortly
after noon, and hundreds of people
started for the wharves to see her land.
The Paulsen was first seen from the
top of the MORNING News building and
the news was soon passing from mouth
to mouth
ANXIETY FOR THE SURVIVORS.
Everybody was anxious to hear of her
safe arrival and the landing in the city of
her precious freight. Her long delay in
returning from Coffin Point had increased
the anxiety, and people were wondering
why she had not returned the night be-
fore.
About noon time tug could be sighted
from the wharves coming rapidly up the
river with her flag flying, and everybody
thought at once that it was the Paulsen.
When she approached her dock, however,
it was seen that it was the tug Regis,
and the enthusiasm was somewhat
abated. The Regis gave the information,
however, that the Paulsen was not far
behind
About lis o'clock the smoke from
tug could be seen just around the bend by
Fort Oglethorpe.
''THAT's THE PAULsENl"
That's the Paulsenl That's the Paul
sen!" was shouted along the wharves.
Pretty soon she could be seen coming
around the bend just below the Savan-
nah, Florida and Western wharves, both
her flags flying.
AS the tug advanced up the river from
the lower wharves every steamboat, tug
and yacht that was fired up saluted her.
Capt. Rogerson of the Paulsen answered
heartily. Flags were flying on all the
Paulsen's sister tugs, and handkerchiefs
and hats were waving along the whole
river front.
SCENES AT THE LANDING.
The Paulsen came up to her dock just
back of the city exchange. About a
thousand people had gathered to see her
land Two policemen were ordered to
keep the crowd back SO that the passen-
gers and others on board could land COM
fortably. Among others who were there
We're Receiver Conner, Agent Anderson
and Mayor McDonough.
The tug tied to the big fiat just back of
The exchange and it was not long before
1t was learned that every one of the pas
sengers and crew of the Inflated ship
was safe and that not one of them had
received an injury.
WAITING AT THE DOCK.
Prof. Barrow of Winter Park, Fla,
was down at the dock long before the
Paulsen arrived waiting anxiously for his
"lle, who was one of the party that had
oeen taken in the life boat to Hunting Is
land lighthouse. He was somewhat ner-
Vous and excited and was lingering be-
tween hope and fear. Mr.. John Norman.
oI Deland, Fla, was waiting anxiously
Ior his wife, his daughter, and his
ADOPTED daughter, Miss Mary L. Hooker.
Friends and relatives of other passengers
were eagerly awaiting the arrival of the
tug.
GLAD GREETING

"nen the tug came up and the people
yaHe ashore. The survivors who had
Oeen brought up by the Birmingham

as they would a lost brother who had
zen found. People who had never seen
mem before congratulated them on their
safe return.
