Kip, has been heard from in the arrival
tonight Of Captain Fernald Of the Siner and
crew. The captain reports very narrow
escape. He was Is miles north by east OF

Boston, Oct. 49, The bark Willard Mud
gett, Capt. Salvage, from Turks Island, with
a cargo of $4,000 bushels of salt, was towed
to anchorage in the harbor yesterday after
noon. She entered the bay Tuesday, and
was half way between Highland light and
the lightship when she encountered the
blow. Her sails were cleWed up and she
put about and ran before it. She was driven
to point 80 miles southeast of Nauset be-
fore it moderated sufficiently to put her on
her course again. Capt Salvage sighted a
four maSted schooner and several three
masters with loss of sails. Four of the
largest schoOners in the world were anchor
ed within short distance of one another in
the harbor yesterday. They were the giant
six-master Geo. W. Wells, which arrived
Thursday night from Baltimore, with her
first cargo of coal the new schooner William
C.Carnegle, the largest tive-maSter atlOat, land
the tlve-maSterS Nathaniel /. Palmer and
Jennie French Potter. These four vessels
have underneath decks cargoes aggregating
1864 tons Of coal. Naturally the Wells
attracted the most attention. She anchored
off Long wharf, and while it was stated
that she was not loaded to her full capacity,
she had very little freeboard visible. She
was gayly bedecked with flags, as was also
the Carnegie, which was anchored off the
New England docks. The cargo of the
Wells consists of 1919 tons of coal, the
largest amount of fuel ever brought here in
a sailing vessel The Carnegie has 4,415
tons, the Palmer 4,4O0 tons and the Potter
1900.
