The Gate City which left Savannah for
Boston the same day the Nacoochee sail
ed for New York, was reported as
having passed through the lower
end of Vineyard Sound, and was supposed
to be anchored off Hyamns. An Asso-
ciated Press dispatch early asst night
stated that she had not arrived at Boston
A later dispatch said she had arrived in
New York for coal.
The Decatur H. Miller arrived yester-
day, twenty-four hours overdue from
Baltimore. She anchored in Hampton
Roads Saturday, where she remained I'M
til Sunday night, escaping the hurricane.
The British steamship Dorset, Capt
Souter, from Greenock, arrived yesterday
| consigned to Strachan & Co. She was in
water ballast and is chartered to load
| cotton for Antwerp. The Dorset encoun-
tered the hurricane off Hatteras Satur-
day afternoon. All Saturday night the
wind blew furiously from the northeast.
| No lights could be kept lit, and every
| thing movable was washed from the
! decks. Sunday morning the weather
| cleared up for about two hours. At 10
! o'clock, when the ship was about forty
miles east of Hatteras, the hurricane
| broke out afresh from the north, north
west, and the wind blew with renewed
| force. The sea was so high that the stern
| Of the vessel was frequently out of the
water and the propeller whirled around
| in mid-air. A new foresail was set to
! steady the ship, but II was quickly torn
from the ring bolts. The storm lasted I'M
til Monday morning, when the weather
cleared and the Dorset again sailed for
Savannah, arriving here yesterday morn
ing.
The schooner Margaret A. May, Capt.
Jarvis from Baltimore with cargo of
! fertilizer material and oil, also arrived
yesterday. Capt Jarvis reports having
| sailed out from the capes last Thursday
| with a fair wind from the northeast.
Hatteras was reached Friday afternoon,
when a terrific hurricane struck the
| schooner. The seas were running high,
| and as an attempt to bring the vessel to,
! would have been disastrous in such a
| storm, all sails were taken in, the vessel
| was scudded under bare poles before the
wind. When Capt. Jarvis got his bear
| ings, it was Sunday morning off Bruins
wick. He took a favorable wind Monday
and arrived here yesterday. The vessel
| was not damaged.
The schooner H. S. Lanfair, ten days
| from Philadelphia, arrived with a cargo
| of coal consigned to Bond Harrison &
