while waiting for the doctors to get
through with the steamers, and took
DR.. Jobe from the General Fairchild
and put him aboard the Holliswood.
The tug, meanwhile, was alongside the
Miowera and could not do anything
for the sailing vessel. Captain Ma
cauley boarded the Holliswood, wore
her off, then, seeing the Philadelphia
coming and knowing that her captain
was a stranger here he went aboard
the German vessel.
The tug brought the General Fair
child into port about 10 a. m. The Hol-
liswood was the next to be lowed in
Captain Macauley had started for the
Republic, and Captain Lorenzen went
after the Miowera, since it had been

the Philadelphia and went out after the
Republic.
