CHARLESTON, S. c.. Feb. Admiral
Bunce and the four ships of the North
Atlantic squadron are still somewhere out
on the storm-tossed Atlantic. Up to late
hour tonight the lookout at historic Fort
Sumter has not made out any ships APP
preaching the harbor and great uneasiness
is felt regarding the safety of the ships OF
the squadron. The Clyde line steamer CO.
manche arrived late this afternoon, after
tempestuous trip from New York. hav-
ing been blown out of her course
and driven by the storm and delayed
by the force of the gale. Captain Penning-
ton said tonight that he wishes never to
be out in a fiercer gale on the Atlantic He
saw trace of the ships of the squadron
on his way down, although If they had been
upon what is known as the southern drill
ground he would have passed close to
them. No other incoming vessel sighted
them.
The dispatch boat Fern, which arrived
yesterday from Hampton Roads, put out
to sea again this morning with the special
dispatches and mail for Admiral Bunce, but
she could not find the ship and tonight she
returned. Commander Richardson Clover
who has received orders to join the North
Atlantic squadron. reports that he has seen
nothing of the missing ships.
