HARBOR NEWS.


Early yesterday forenoon there was
only one vessel in the harbor, Ethe Phineas
W. Sprague The water was almost
calm. But about o'clock q stiff south
breeze sprang up suddenly and continued

the dozen, as there was evidence OF bad
weather. A change of weather like this
affords an interesting spectacle OF the
large number of coasters that are contin-
ually passing back and forth along the

let the barometer sink, and they flock into
this harbor SO quickly that it seems as If
they had been waiting just outside such
