Helen Polk acting as maid Of honor, and
Messrs. Stryker and F1nney as ushers. The

TowkD BY THE BOHEMIA,

But the HaWser Parted and the
Ships lost Each Other.
New YORK, Dee. 3l.-The Umbria
had sighted only two ships since leav-
ing Queenstown, and it might be week
or even two weeks before she was re-
ported. The Catalonia, of the Cunard
line, which sailed from Liverpool for
Boston Thursday, the Esd, might pass
within hailing distance in day or Two,
and the Normandie, of the French line,
which sailed from HaVre on the pre-
Vious Saturday, was also due over the
same course. If these should be missed,
there was still chance later of falling
in with the Cunarder Gallia, which was
to leave Boston for Liverpool the next
Monday; or the Britannia, OF the White
Star line, that had sailed from Liver
pool for New York the Wednesday pre-
Vious. Outside Of these there were
chances of hailing tramp steamers or
vessels Of other lines.
Chief Steward Gore said that there
were enough provisions on board to last
for three weeks more without any one
being in the slightest degree stinted, or
even for four or five weeks, with depri-
walton of a few luXurieS. Very few of
the passengers remained up much later
than was their wont Friday night, al
though they fully realized that they
were drifting helplessy in mid-ocean in
storm. Oil was poured upon the
water through the drainage pipes of the
ship, and she was quieter than while
the machinery was in motion.
Just after Daylight those who were
asleep were awakened by several re-
ports from the Umbria's gun, and the
sound Of her whistle. In ten minutes
almost every one was on deck to ascer-
tain what was the matter. A ship was
in sight. just on the edge of the hori-
zon, bouuG eastward. For half an hour,

Voyage.


Voyage.
New YORK, Dec. Rarely has the
Cunard line pier been the scene of such
excitement as was visible from an early
hour this morning. Crowds of people,
many of whom had friends on the yes

the big steamship began to be visible
cheer went up from the crowds. One or
two among the women became hySterl-
cal. There is always something ma
jestical about the movements OF a great
ocean steamship, and as the Cunarder
steamed up the North river she looked
indeed like an ocean queen. greeted by
the shrieking of tug and ferryboat
whistles. At 9 O'clock the crowd i'll
and around the per was so dense that
the police were summoned. Capt.
Allaire and squad of his men arrived
shortly atteTward, and it took all the
policemen's patience 10 keep the ell

The big steamer was finally locked,
and the passengers came down the
gang rplank, while the dockS shed rang
with cheers and shouts. There were
many affecting scenes as friends on the
pier greeted those who had been SO
long at sea. But in very short space
or time the baggage was examined and
the passengers and their friends left the
pier, and only the usual hustle attend

remained To mark the eventful voyage

known how long the Umbria would
drift. to get up entertainments in the
saloon for the evenings.
