NO EEWSOF THESURVIVORS
The Tug PaulSel Sent After The Rest
Of the SaYalllh'S Passengers,

Had Been Reoeived-The other Pas
sengers Waiting Anxiously for Their
Return.
Up 10 3o'clock this morning no news had
been received from the tug Paulsen and
its precious freight
The Paulsen was ready in waiting be-
fore . O'Clock yesterday morning to make
the trip to Coffin Point and bring back
the women and children who were set
aaoat on the life boat from the wrecked
Savannah
At O'Clock Capt. Savage of the Sa-
vannah, with a rescuing party, among
whom was Capt. Lamar, DIR. Lamar's
father, left the Exchange dock on this
tug to go in search of the passengers who
left the wreck and to bring them up to
the city. The tug was not expected back
until late in the afternoon.
LOOKING FOR THE PASSENGERS.
Sometime in the afternoon a report was
started that the Paulsen had been heard
from, and that she was coming back with
everyone Of the passengers safe on board
at o'clock in the afternoon. Everybody
was then in great expectation that they
would soon see the party from the Saw
annah that had once been given up for
lost.
Six O'Clock came and no tidings were
received. Seven, eight, nine and ten
passed, and the crowds that had gathered
on the wharves to see the Paulsen land
her cargo, began to fear that the
tug had had so many difficulties to con
tend with that she would not be able to
get back until this morning. They began
leaving, and by midnight the wharves
looked as deserted as they did during the
storm itself. The conclusion had been
reached that the tug would not come
until morning. as it had perhaps been de-
tanned through some comfort or some
arrangemnt it had to make for the ia
tigued and wornout passengers whom it
went to find.
WAITING TO SEE THEIR FELLOW PAssKN-
GERS.
Scarcely any of the passengers of the
Savannah, who were brought in by the
Birmingham, have left the city. They
have almost all been waiting here, pre-
ferring first to hear of the arrival in
safety of their fellow passengers who,
perhaps, in the end. had more difficulties
70 contend with than they did them
selves. There was husband waiting
for his wife to return, and father wait
ing for his daughter. There were scores
of friends waiting to hear that the ladies
and children were all safe. But last
night no tidings of them came.
Receiver Conner, Supt. Kline, Capt.
Fleming, Agent Anderson and many
Others, together with those of the ship
wrecked passengers who are still here.
were waiting at the De Soto last night un-
til a late hour 10 receive the news of the
return of the party in safety, but they
waited in vain.
WILL PROBABLY CONE THIS MORNING.
At one time the report got about in the
city that the Paulsen had arrived. It
seemed authentic, or at least so much so
that the bus from the De Soto was sent
down to bring the party up to the hotel
But the bus returned empty handed
Everyone grew weary of waiting, and
coming to the conclusion that she would
not come until morning, they all went
home.
The survivors are supposed to be where
they were landed on CONN Point on St.
Helena Island. They are:
DR.. G.. W. LAMAR.
Mrs. LAMAR and two children,
Miss. MARY L. HooKER.
Mrs. Barrow
Mrs. JOHN NORMAN.
ELLEN A. NORMAN.
ANNIE LOVE.
Mrs. G. HOOPER.
Mrs. ELLEN WADE
Stewardess OLD JANE.
NOT on OLD JAMES ACCOUNT.
One Of the passengers tells the story on
the stewardess, Old Jane. that she is CON
sidered a kind of Jonah among the super
stitious, as she has been in several wrecks
and misfortunes of one kind and another to
steamers before this one. and
that when she was being lowered
into the life boat preparatory to leav-
ing the wreck of the Savannah she held
up her hands and said: Before God,
captain, didn't bring this on you"
The tug win probably be up this morn
ing and will be gladly welcomed by every
one in the city.
