Fears for Safety of Schooner.

Some fears are expressed for the safety
of the schooner Jennie N. Huddell, which
sailed from the Rappahannock river for
New York with cargo of lumber about a
month ago. Two weeks ago the vessel
was reported in the Delaware breakwater
and later she was reported to have sailed
but no direct confirmation of her being in
the breakwater, 1t is stated, has been re-
ceived by her consignees from the master
of the vessel. The vessel may have been
blown from her course by adverse winds
The Huddell has several times brought car
goes of lumber to this city from ports in
Virginia. She Is a vessel of 279 tons bur-
den and was built at Tuckerton, N. j., in
1870. She halls from Richmond, Va,
where she is owned.
