SCHOONER FAILS TO ARRIVE,
Absence of William c. Tanner Cause
Of Uneasiness.

The failure OF the schooner William c..

to arrive at Key West, Fla, Is giving
her owners and tho friends Of Capt. Fred
erick Drake. the master OF the vessel
considerable uneasiness. The schooner
left Bayview. Me-. with q cargo Of stone

should have arrived at Key West by this
time. 1t is thought probable. however,
that the southerly winds which have been
prevailing on the coast for several weeks
past and have been causing southbound
vessels much delay are responsible for
the slow trip OF the schooner and that
she will soon arrive at her destination.
The schooner John r. Penrose, which
sailed from Philadslphia for Charleston
January 21 and which had not been reported
since 1t sailed, has arrived at the Bermudas
and her arrival there removes the fear
felt for her safety. The Penrose met
with bad weather almost from the mo-
ment 1t passed out Of the Delaware river
and the adverse winds blew 1t many miles
out OF its course and caused the vessel to
seek the Bermudas. As soon as she car
obtain supplies 1t Is understood that the
Penrose will again sail and will endeavor
to reach its destination.
