CAPTAIN AND BOY WERE LOST.

That the rain and wind storms which
played around the vicinity of New York

stories told by the captain and crew
Of incoming vessels. Far out at sea,

that are known to have been in the

which arrived here April q.
The cooks boy was also taken sick
with yellow fever about the same time
as the captain, and he also died. Then,
Capt Langdon took command. No other

turned Miss Annora, because they

Presently Annora exclaimed: II have

most slnilful manner. and though the
