FERRYBOAT HUNTED FOR
 LANDING IN FOG
Traffic Tied Up Friday Morning in
 New London Harbor

The worst fog that has been seen on the Thames for years was encoun- tered early Friday morning by the ferryboat Gov. Winthrop in New Lon don harDOr. The ferryboat fared worse than any of the other vessels on the river as the crew had to keep her going for the accommodation of the passengers
 Trouble commenced on the first trip out of Groton. The thick mist was impenetrable for any distance by hu- man eyes and the big ferryb boat brought London. After that trip the Gov Winthrop returned to Groton and laid up for about three-quarters of an hour while the damaged buckets of the wheel were removed.
 After that the ferryboat docked at about any place she happened to strike on the New London side. The pilot was more fortunate in his run from New London to the borough, as he usually found the slip. Once or twice the boat slid past it and had to back out for another try at the slip. On the New London side. however, the tide seemed to be much more effective and as soon as the engines were slow ed down so that the pilot could move more cautiously the freshet would swing the heavy Gov. Winthrop down stream
  Central Vermont wharf and discharged and took on passengers. while at other times it made the end of the Fishers Island Navigation Co.'S pier from which passengers were taken on. When she landed sideWise the people had to chamber over the rail Another trip Captain Miner poked the nose of the Gov. Winthrop into Longs wharf. The passengers were good natured about the inconvenience, realizing that the Gov. Winthrop is no easy ship to ham dle in small spaces, anyhow, and aside from that they hardly expected the pilot to be gifted with superhuman eyesight, for they couldn't see where they were going themselves.
 All this time teams, autos and trucks were accommodating at the New London run into the slip on that side of the river until 9 o'clock, after her first run shortly after ! About 60 vehicles were waiting to pile aboard when Purser Frank Chapman opened the gates shortly after o'clock
 Elwin Haley of Groton and two others with teams boarded the ferry at Groton about 5.So- They enjoyed numerous trips across and around the Thames waiting for the boat to dock at 8 wharf upon which they could drive off Their chance came about g o'clock, and they lost no time in leav- ing the ferryboat after their three hour sail.
 Purser Chapman has been employed on the run from Groton to New Lon don for about Is years and he states that never before had he experienced such a fog. Although the sun was shining, the mist persisted in cling ing to the river and was not dispelled until about S.45.

 Given In Aid of Soldiers.
 Nov. '. 186S.-We have received a copy of the first national report of the Connecticut Soldiers relief associa- tion The treasurer's report exhibits receipts to the amount of $1,308.96 and expenditures of $S22.86. There have ,- ,7 1882 socks 124 dressing gowns, 1774 towels, handkerchiefs and napkins, 215 shoes. 81 pillow cases. 96 blankets, 165 slippers, etc. gloves, mittens, etc. There have been distributed so far as appears in the report 1164 shirts, 721 pair of drawers. 860 pairs of socks and 62 dressing gowns. These supplies have been derived mainly from the Soldiers Aid Societies of Norwich, Willimantic and Hartford. We notice also donations from the Stonington, Noank and Hampton societies with smaller ones from other towns and cities in the state. About one third of the contributions in money are from the town of Norwich. The re- port shows that there have been 1042 Connecticut soldiers received in hos pitfalls about Washington and visited by members of the association Aside from visiting the soldiers in the hos pitals there have been other duties performed by members of the associa- ton. The officers for the ensuing year are as follows: President-E. A. Barker East Hartford; vice-presi- dent-E. M. Cushman, Willimantic; secretary-C. E. Daley New Haven (state agent at Washington); treas urer-C. N. Parmalee Hartford: ex ecutive committee-C. C. Burr, Hart ford; J. R. Comstock. Norwich; C. P. BIackmar West Killingly.
