WATERFRONT lively HOUR
SEVERAL SAILING VESSELS AND
TRANSPORT GET AWAY.
Great Admiral Was Unable to Raise
Her Anchor Out of Water-Hancock
Was on Bottom.

The noon hour was a busy time on
the water front today and tugs were
in demand. The first vessel to start
away about noon was the Great Ad-
miral in ballast for the Sound. The tow
was given to the Fearless but the little
boat was detained a long time, waiting
for the crew of the Admiral to raise
the port anchor. 1t was before IL O'Clock
when the line was made fast and the
tug stood off ready to start toward the
mouth of the harbor. Either the donkey
engine or the capstan would not work
for five minutes passed, then ten, then
fifteen and there was no signs of the
another appearing. Finally the tug
| footed her whistle but this failed TO
hurry the Great Admiral. At last the
crew went to work on the capstan,
hauling away at the anchor but after
waiting fully three quarters of an hour
without the anchor being drawn out of
| water, the Fearless started the tow.
The anchor had been cleared of the mud
through and it did not retard the pow
erful tug very much.
About the time that the tug got the
ship out of the mouth of the harbor the
transport Hancock cut loose and back
ed out into the stream. 1t was feared
by the pilot that the big transport,
drawing twenty-four feet of water
could not be taken out from the wharf
! before high tide at O'Clock this after
noon. Captain Strive thought he would
run the risk so a line was carried across
the channel and made fast to the piles
by the light house. Then the transport
backed out, She had been touching the
bottom by the side of the wharf all
morning but as the water had risen
considerably since the early morning
mark there was no difficulty eXperien-
ced in backing away. After almost
clearing the dock the transport had to
whistle for n tug to come and turn her
stern around.
