were greatly handicapped in their
wol K by being short one boat and hav-
ing to wait for the tugboat, which was
out cruising after the Miowera.
A. $50 o'clock the schooner VIII
liam Bowden, from Newcastle, was
teIe9honeG. She was boarded by Pilot
LoI snzen, who brought her in. Just as
he returned TO the pilot house the Gde-
lie and Miowera were sighted. aud
Pile IS Macaulay and Sanders went out
10 meet them.
Soon after the steamers were sight
ed, two barkss the General Fairchild
and HolIiswood, and two ships, the
Rel lblic and Philadelphia, were sight
ed, all in a bunch. The tug and the
two pilots were out with the steam
ers, and each had pilOtboat. Captain
LoT enzen was left ashore with no boat.
Car tain Sanders brought the Gaelic in
TO the harbor and Captain Lorenzen
went out to get the General Fairchild.
While waiting for the doctors TO get
through with the steamers, Captain
Macaulay cruised about outside and
got Dr. Jobes from the General Fair
child and took him to the Holliswood.
AS The tug was still alongside the Mo
vera and could not wait upon the sail
ing vessels, the Holliswood was board
ed by Captain Macaulay, who wore the
vessel Off He then saw the Philadel-
phia coming. and went to her to help
the captain, who was a stranger here.
About 10 o'clock the tug was able
to go after the Fairchild, which was
brought into port Then the Hollis
wood was towed in, and Captain San
ders went out after the Philadelphia.
Captain Macaulay had started for
the Republic, and as it was decided
that the Miowera was to come inside,
Captain Lorenzep went out after her.
She was cruising about eight miles of
shore, and it was a long pull to her.
She was so far off that she could not
see the signal flying from the pilot
tower, telling her to come into the
harbor, so it took long time to catch
her.
The tug, in the meantime, had
brought the Philadelphia in and went
out after the Republic, which had Cap
tain Macaulay aboard. The Miowera
was brought in, and at $50 in the
afternoon the three pilots and two
boats, and DR.. lobe were in their ac-
customed places at the pilot house. dis
cussing the days doings.
Captains Sanders and Macaulay had
had lunch aboard the vessels they
were on at noon time. Captain San
ders told of the meal he had had, ard
il was corker. A bowl of sweet soup
and some salt horse" no bread, but
ter, tea or coffee-not even water.
Captain Macaulay had fallen into a
soft snap. He was on the bark Hollis
wood at u o'clock, and was invited
