To Sail Soon.

The Norwegian bark Heimdahl, one
of the numerous foreign vessels which
suffered damage during the Septem-
Der hurricane, yesterday cleared from
the custom house for Rio Janeiro,
carrying cargo of over one million
superficial feet of lumber.
The Heimdahl is the last of the
foreign vessels damaged during the
hurricane to leave port, excepting
those which were sold at public auc-
ton by the underwriters The vessel,
which has tonnage of 1854, arrived
here on Sept. 20, six days before the
storm and was discharging ballast
when struck by the hurricane. Work
men were engaged for several months
in making repairs after the bark had
been fioated and later the cargo was
stored
1t is probable. now that crew has
been secured, that the bark will get
away on her long delayed voyage be-
fore the end of the week, provided
the weather is favorable.
