NOTES FROM the HARBOR.

When Captain Wilcox OF the steamer
Larchmont was addressed this morning
as TO the anchoring Of the boat down the
bay on her last trip out OF this port he
stated that the boat had made the trip
In much harder weather than was ex-
perienced yesterday, but having so many
women and children on board on the last
voyage and such an enormous amount OF
freight he concluded that the passengers
would derive more pleasure from lying
at anchor for few hours than being buff
feted I'm the swells that were rolling
For those reasons he decided to re-
main this side OF the Point In sheltered
waters until the tide and the wind shifted.
These things happened about o'clock
in the morning and then the boat con-
tinued on her trip. As the vessel passed
along various points on the Sound many
craft were seen to be lying high and dry
on the shores where the tides had carried
them. Captain Wilcox stated also that
wheu he reached New York the tide was
running Just "A few inches below the
