Petrol ON Her Way south.
The steamer Petrol, that sailed yester-
day for Baltimore, was sighted by Pilot
Barrett of the steamer Nashua last night
at II O'Clock of Falkner Island. The
steamer was making excellent headway,
and was Drawing the wind and waves in
splendid shape. The crew on board of the
Nashua were puzzled to know just what
the strange looking craft was, and, not
until noon today, were they informed of
her name. Captain Nichols, who has
charge of the Petrol, will return to this
city tonight, as he delivered her to the
Baltimore steamboat men this afternoon.
There was race between the steamers
Chatham and Berkshire OF the Merchants
& Miners line which furnished no small
amount of talk for the attaches
at this port. Both boats had had
admirers, but none that had the courage
to make any bets. The Berkshire sailed
one and one-half hours before the Chat
ham and the Chatham arrived at the
dock in this city first. The Chatham will
sail again this evening.
Captain Legx Dead.
Captain w. II. Legg, one OF the best
known captains of coasting vessels COM
ing into this port, died at the Me-
mortal hospital at New London
last Saturday, Captain Legg
was for many years on the schooner Isle
VI IlutS tuht Was WItCkeu ~ Hell RRle
last June. This schooner has, during the
past twenty years, brought into
this port upwards OF 100000
barrels Of cement. Since Captain Legg
lost his vessel, he had been in the Kate
and Mary with his father -in-law, Captain
Coggesweli. Mr.. Legg was suffering
from stroke of paralysis. His remains
were taken to Sleighsville, N. ", where
he had resided for many years. The in
terment took place yesterday.
The Mary L. Crosby Here.
The schooner Mary l.. Crosby, Captain
Trimm, that arrived at this port last
night, was one of the many vessels that
was roughly used by the wind and water
during the recent storm. On the night OF
Monday, Nov. n, she laid at anchor
between Scotland light ship and
Sandy Hook, when one of her chains
parted and the wind was blowing such
terrible gale that she was obliged to slip
the other chain. For awhile it looked as
IL the vessel was doomed, as
she was rapidly being filled
with water when the tug Mutual
came to her assistance and took her to a
place of safety. There was afterwards
some dispute as to the amount of salvage,
and the owners of the tug had the schoon-
or libeled TO the amount OF $4,000.
