THE LUCY NEFF SAILS.
Encounters Obstacles as Usual on
Leaving Bath for Frisco.

Faith, Me, Feb. THE steamer Lucy
Neff started this noon on her long trip
around the Horn to San Francisco. The
steamer left the wharf at the Kelley
time for q while.
When she left the wharf there was lots
of ice frozen to one side Of her and when
she got ont into the stream it was diff
cult to steer her and she ran into some
other ice which packed her i'll and she
could rot be steered at all and was at the
mercy OF the incoming tide. Slowly she
drifted towards the Noolwich rocks and
when Capt. Harding saw the danger lie
immediately whistlGd for help and Can
tain L. ". Coss Of the ferry boat Hook
omOck Immediately headed the ferry in
that direction and effected a rescue.
The Hockomock went close along side
and 4 line was put out and the Hocko,
mock slowly hauled the steamer free
from tie ice and she headed down the
river with ell hands on board greatly
pleased to think that they did not meet
with disaster at the start of their long
journey.
Had it not been for the HocllOnock and
the expert handling of her by Captain
Coss. who by the way. IS an old tow
ho:.t man, the NcGf would have some on
the rocks and perhaps sustained enough
damage to keep her here the rest of the
winter
As the Neff passed down the river front
few minutes before one o'clock she was
saluted by tie different craft which she
passed.
The journey Of the Neff will be watched
with interest by Bath people as there are
many Path men in her crew as well as
one from Gardiner ana one formerly from
Augusta.
