ON THEIR WAY TOLIBERIA.
Party of "a Negroes From OciIIa and
AIIapaha to Sail To-day.

Fifty-four negroes, men, women and
children of all ages, reached Savan-
man yesterday morning, en- route to
Monrovia. the capital of Liberia, Of
which country they intend to become
colonists. The whole party comes from
the neighborhood of Ocilla and Ala
paha, Ga. and belongs to the farming
class. They expect to become farmers
in the new country to which they are
going.
The party will leave for New York
this morning on the Kansas City, and
from New York. where they expect to
be Joined by several parties from other
parts of the country they will sail for
Liverpool, thence direct to Liberia.
This party looks on itself as a sort of
advance guard, for some of its mem
bers said yesterday it was probable
that a much larger body of colored
people from the vicinity of Ocilla and
Allapaha will start for Liberia next
winter.
Not all the members Of the party
seem to know just why they are going
or what to expect when they get TO
their journeys end. One of them,
when asked yesterday if he expects to
do better in Liberia than in Georgia,
said he didn't expect to do better, be-
cause he had done pretty well at Ocilla,
but that he expected to do as we'll He
was making the trip, he said, because
Liberia is a new country. He didn't
know whether he should like it or not,
and had not the money to return to
this country in case he did not, but
claimed that he had the promise of the
men he had worked for at Ocilla that
If he were dissatisfied with Liberia
they would pay his way back. The
same man said a large number of the
party had the same promise.
The men of the party, who have all
the appearance of typical country farm
hands, hung around the corner of Bull
and Broughton streets a good deal of
the morning and afternoon, and at
tracted much attention. In the party
there are thirty-eight adults and six
teen children.

HOW THE DAUNTLESS
WON HER ROOSTER

Jack Fortune, marine engineer, well
known in Savannah. is here from
Jacksonville spending a few days with
relatives and friends. Mr.. Fortune is
one of the best known engineers on
the south Atlantic and was in charge
clustering tug, Dauntless on the most
of her expeditions to Cuba previous
to the Spanish-American war.
A few years ago when the Daunt-
less was towing in Savannah she was
taken to Jacksonville for repairs. At
that time the swift tug Kate Spencer
was. towing on the St. Johns river,
and great rivalry existed between the
masters and crews of the two boats.
A race was arranged between their
crafts from the sea buoy off st. Johns
bar to point off Fernandina bar
The Spencer at that time had a
beautiful gilded rooster mounted on
her wheel house, and Captain Broward
her master, agreed to give it to the
master of the Dauntless if he beat her
out. Fortune was engineer of the
Dhuntless and it is said of him that
he hung his coat over the steam guage
and told his fireman to pile in the coal.
Whether he did or not is not definite
ly known, but the Dauntless won by
a mile or more. and captured the
Spencer's rooster which her master
gracefully surrendered. From that
time until she was wrecked In GO
ing over Sapelo bar about three years
ago the Spencer went minus an or
nament to her pilot house and the
Dauntless still carries the trophy over
her steering gear.
