FEARS FOR A SCHOONER.

There is a probability that the Rich
mond schooner George W. Anderson.
captain Mundie. has foundered at sea
between New York and Norfolk. The
Anderson sailed from New York last
Friday with a cargo Of cement. She
was bound to Norfolk. but at last re-
ports had not been sighted by the ma
rlne observer at the Capes. Several
schooners which sailed two days later
from New York have arrived here. but
none brought tidings of the overdue
vessel. The Anderson carried a crew
OF five men besides the captain, and
1T is feared they have been lost. The
only plausible explanation of the
schooner's non arrival is that she may
have been becalmed at sea. This.
however. is not probable since fresh
winds have prevailed along the coast
for some days.

STORM DISABLED TWO.

The big schooner Howard a. Hunt,
bound from the Pamunkey river to
New York with railroad ties. has ar
rived here In distress. She caught the
storm Of last night and sprung a leak.
To save ship and cargo Captain Nell
son made for this port. His vessel will
be repaired here.
The schooner j. F. Hurst. an oyster
carrier. on her way to James river,
light. was caught in the blow of last
night in Hampton Roads and lost her
masts. a friendly tug came along and
towed the Hurst into this harbor.
DOING GOOD DUTY.
Mariners sailing into this port are
particularly pleased with the perform
ance of Lightship No II. now stationed
at what Is known as the Tail of the
Horseshoe" in Chesapeake Bay. one of
the most dangerous places in that
body Of water. No. II was for many
months at Diamond Shoals. off Cape
Hatteras. and the storm of last night
did not cut much figure with the
staunch vessel. which has outridden
some of the flercest gales that ever
swept over the graveyard of ship
ning." Not only marine men. but the
travelling public feels much safer
when crossing the shoe. now that a
friendly light each night guards the
spot.
