This Vas the Vessel in Collision
with the Numidiam.
Vancouver Sailed for
Liverpool Yesterday.
Hibernian Arrives, Corinthian
Hourly Expected.

1t was pretty rough day along the
water front yesterday but In spite OF the
storm there were some men who were
obliged to face the rain and cold wind to
keep things moving. The lower harbor
10 fiIied with heavily ladened schooners
most OF which are In here for q harbor.
A crew OF men was at work unloading
big coal barge at Sargent s. Dennison's.
The longshoremen who do this work on
Sunday receive extra pay for II ana one
watching them working away in the
snow and rain felt as though they were
earning every dollar of it.
At the Grand Trunk a crew OF men
were at work for time filling mp the big
holds of the Numidinn. She is to sail on
Wednesday. There still remains plenty OF
time to get her filed to her utmost capa-
city before her sailing time arrives.
THINK SCHOONER LOST.
1t is now the general opinion about the
Grand Trunk that the schooner Alma,
which was in collision with the Numidian
on Thursday morning, during fog, and
which was towed for while and then
lost In the fog, has gone down with all
hands. She had two OF the Numidian IS
seamen on board, who volunteered for
the service, and seven men Of her own.
This schooner hailed from Lockport, N,
S., and was loaded with salt, which Is a
bad cargo. The steamship people say to
newspaper men that the Alma Will sure
ly turn up all right, but there is reason
to believe thsy are not quite so certain
about it. When last seen the schooner
was laboring very hard. in the big seas,
and leaking badly, as the crew was
working hard at the pumps. After the
tow Inc parted it began to blow harder
than ever. The schooner lost her main
sail In the collision, and the Numidian
was not able to supply her with one to
take its place. Even II the schooner sur
vived the storm 1t would take her long
time to reach port in her disabled condi-
ton.
THE HIBERNIAN DUE.
The steamship Hibsrnian from Glas.
gov arrived at quarantine at dark and Will
remain at anchor in the lower harbor, un-
til the health officers have time to visit
her, as no ships arriving from Glasgow
are allowed to come up to the docks until
they are inspected. This Is because Of an
order Issued some time ago by the nation
al authorities, imposing this quarantine
regulation on all Glasgow ships because
thers have been some cases Of bubonic
| plague carried to that port In other
ports this regulation regarding the Gias-
gov ships has been removed, but it is
still in forcs In Portland. Tne Corinthi.
sn, another Allan line ship, is expected
to reach here today or tomorrow, from
Liverpool, 1t Is probable that both of
these ships have been having hard pas
sage. as incoming steamers all report bad
weather on the North Atlantic during the
past ten days
THE VANCOUVER SAILED YESTER-
DAY.
The steamship Vancouver sailed yester-
day for Liverpool. 1t was about two
O'Clock when she started to sea, and at
that time 1t was raining hard and blow
ing gale. But as long as the captains
of these English ships can get clear OF the
coast before dark they fear no storms,
and by the timo night came the Van
couver must have been long way off the
coast. She had a big cargo, and carried
only few passengers, all OF whom were
from Canada.
The only other sailing for the day was
the steamship Manhattan OF the New
York line, which put to sea about shalf
past one o'clock. She should have sailed
Saturday night at seven O'Clock, but held
of on account of the threatened blow and
snow storm. She had only a few pass en-
grs.
