The Slips Filled With vessels-The
Fleet at Quarantine
Preparations began early in the day
/ along the wharves to secure the shipping.
The pilot boats Sprite, Dickerson, Belle
and Neca, were safely harbored in the
Central railroad slip.
The Propeller Tow Boat Company sent
Che tugs Juno, Cynthia. Maud, Sophie,
Smith, Paulsen, Cambria and Forest City
into the slip. Although this refuge was
fast being filled it was like hotel omni-
bus, and found room for one more" All
day the smaller craft kept crowding
in. The Savannah Lighterage and Trans
fer Company kept the tug Regis out towing
in lighters. The tugs Royal Arch, Harold,
Bessie and Captain O. NJ Carter's yacht
Angler, were put in the slip in the after
noon. The dredge Oglethrope was also
towed in. The Tomochichi was safely
mored al Conner, Hull & Co.'s wharf up
the river. The steamer Camusi was in the
slip. The schooner Ready came up from
Venus point and was anchored in the
stream opposite East Broad street. The
quarantine tug Theckla came
up from the station, bringing
DIR. Graham and his family
and was sent to the Central slip for the
night.
All the vessels in port were securely
moored at their berths, in expectation of
the blow. The steamers Alpha, Bellevue
and Katie remained at their wharves.
THE FLEET AT QUARANTINE.
The Cambria and H. NJ G. Smith were
chartered to go to quarantine by Chr. j.
Moller, the Norwegian Lloyds' agent to
tow the Norwegian bark Tros to the
city. They arrived with the vessel about
6 o'clock 1t was reported then that
a furious gale was blowing down the
river, and that the sea at Tybee and at
quarantine station was running high.
The tugs had some difficulty in getting
the bark, but by excellent management
she was secured and towed to the city.
There are five vessels at quarantine
which are exposed to the fury of the
storm, and great apprehension is felt for
their safety. They are the Norwegian
barks Lorfald and August Letter, the
British banks Brucklay Castle and Janet
Ferguson, and the Austrian bark
Leandro.
Eight vessels are anchored at Tybee
roads and it was reported last night that
several of them were dragging their
anchors and were drifting towards Tybee
point. They are in a dangerous position
and those that escape damage will be
very fortunate. The vessels in the roads
are the Norwegian banks Henrietta,
Captain Bull, from Barrow: Signe, Cap
tain Johansen, from Dordrecht; Orion,
Captain Ulstrup, from Rotterdam;
Areola, Captain Johansen, from
Aarhuus; Vimeira, Captain Olsen,
from Hamburg; Harmonos, Cap
tain Gundersen, from Havre
the Italian bark Maria Adelaide, Capt.
Cacace, from Marseilles, and the Russian
bark Ystovat, Capt. Tengstrom, from
Carnarvon.
SEPARATED FROM HIS FAMILY.
The bark YstOvat arrived at Tybee last
Tuesday, and her captain came to the
city Wednesday to await orders for his
vessel He left his wife and child on
board, and was unable to return to them
yesterday. His anxiety for the safety of
his family can easily be imagined.
There are several vessels about due
and will probably be struck by the storm.
Among them are the steamship City of
Augusta, Capt, Daggett, which was APP
pointed to sail from New Y orl1 on Wednes-
day, the Norwegian steamship Lynden-
horn, which sailed from New York on
Tuesday, the schooner Isabella Gill, Capt.
Collision, which sailed from Baltimore last
Saturday, the Norwegian bark Ceres,
from London with a cargo of salt, and
several other Norwegian banks.
The Alpha was detained yesterday by
the storm, but will leave this morning for
Bluffton and Beaufort if the weather per-
mits. There will be no Saturday trip this
week, and probably no more until next
summer
The tug H. M. G. Smith had on board
when she went down the river, the cap
tains of two of the vessels at Tybee roads,
who were anxious to get to their vessels.
The Smith could not get to them, as the
sea was running too high. The vessels
were sighted, but their positions could not
be reckoned, as the mist was too thick to
distinguish them The tug returned to
the quarantine station and assisted the
Cambria in towing the bark Tros to the
city
