NKW YOIIK , Sept. 10. [ Special Tcletrram

Webster and his wife imil daughter ut the
Fifth Avonun hotel. They bad Just arrived ,
looking as If llioy had had a Jolly coed ttmo

perience. "
William A. Pn\ton , tholr shlpmato and

only necessary to show a mold
that the now chnmploa might envy , Tbo
gonllan.an was blttor in his denunciation of

Jlnallh Ofllccr JeiiKlns for keeping them
from the Saturday they arrived till Iho fol
lowing Tuesday without a doctor , supplies ,
water nnd medicines or provisions.
"I micht Imvo uioJ for nil ho might have
known ot it at this period , " ho said. Ho and
Mr. Webster received uoout 1 percent of the
communications soul them , and ttoy bultcvo
some ono hnd established a censorship on ull
communications sent or received by thorn ,
hence the fact that THE BEIJ min's efforts to
reach them were thwarted , and not until hist
Monday did they receive his dispatch.
They tried to answer then , but when they
tried to wire un answer they cot , "Wire cn-
pngod by Governor Flower. " This of
course vijns possible , yet the query presents
Itself : "Why were they debarred from com
municating with their fuendsl"
liTi'l\fd ill London.
On the last night on Fire Island the two
gentlemen sat down and togaluor got up
this statement for Tun Bun :
- I'No nmn Knows the barharisrps under the

we went aboard the Normnunm at South-
uinptou under assurances troru the London
oRIco that no steerage passengers were lo bs
cnrncrt on lhat ship. When wo found we
had been deceived in till * a fooling
of nervous anxiety came over us that
Bcumed an omen of avll and dancord
concealed. When the news hud spread that
the steerage was full of people from Ham
burg bitter denunciations xvero expressed.
'Wo had bud wo-athor at ttrst , then
came quiet and sunshlno. Tint pro
duced cheerfulness , as the fact , of
cholera having broken out on the ship was
concealed. Now nnd then It became known
that u dead body had been dropped overboard
nl nlghl , but wo were told lhat death had
resulted from other causes. This kind of
news hau u distressing effect , as such burl-
nls wcro too numerous to bo attributed to
ordinary diseases.

"Whon the ship was anchored nt quarantine
it wis : Ilrst ollleluHy announced thai cholera
had boon doing Its deadly work. The effect of
this news wns like u shock. Wo wcro now
prisoners and no man save the heuth
oftlcnr was allowed on board , und
_ - no permission to communicate with tbo
outsiilo world by teller or telegram
except under thn supervision of
this ofllcer. Near by the Normauniu lay two
other ships , under like restraint , and having
the plague on board. There wns no way to
shut Out the sight of these pest ships. Each
morning the Crystal Walor came alongside
all the ships to carry away tba sick und
dead , anddrcadlng _ how short tbo lima might
bo before Iho fatal disease would llnd Its
wny to us , wo hop'id ' hat each dny
would find us removed from the Normannln ,
but found only disappointment for seven
successive days. Each morning ovury cabin
passenger would gaze up thu muln mast to
ECO If the yt'llou lUg wus lloutlng from it.
If so It WHS the signal to como and carry off
the sick mid dead.
"Itvas a horrlbto anil eruol sight to sco
the sicir , who hud every reason to expect
dentil , pl.iced on the boat with the dead to
bo curried to tbo island. Humanity should
havit dlntuleJ a hotter way to do these things.
"Eiien morning Now Vork piipors would bo
tent aboard and eagerly road , detailing the
number of now cases und now deaths , nnd
then the 500 cabin passengers would sit in
lolonm quiet about the snip for hours ,

"Wo were as well and healthy as the pco-
plo of Now Vork city , as tlmo has demon
strated , yet wo were hold us prisoners under
tno ci ucl enforcement of a crude qmmmtino
law nnd In n pluco in deadly and dangerous
B3 Llbby prison. Dr. Jenkins said to us that
lie could not got u ship to transfer in. Wo
then sutucrlbod a fund of { 100,000 to buy a
boat. Tneu came the news tbat Mr.
Mori'au had bought ami tendered the

"The next day tboCephcus came ulongsldn
mid nnnouncoU that all tvero ordered to KO
aboard at once. .JJafgago was unpncucd nnd
scattered , many children wcro uiloep and
ntarty womou were at rest end umUesiod.
Bouio got t&ir bugifHja tram-
fcrrod , eomo not. Hero \vcro _ men
who had not Blent the night
before , nor scon a tlmo or place toehango
clothing , put on board the Ceolioiiit without
oven hand bairgage. It was said that tlmo was
too short to permit rnoro delay. Wo wcro
all too anxious to get awny from the Stonine-
ton , as it had become tiltby , Tliero was no
arlnklng water on board.
"Hero was a condition of things I will not
describe , as It was too horrible , " continued
Mr. Webster , "for doltcato cars to hear.
Tlio Ccpheus moved out to sea. It soon
began to plunge nnd roll. There was a high
wind. In n few minutes seasickness over
came most of the women nnd muny men.
They lay nil over the floor and decks In rows ,
as there wcra no rooms too to , and tha placa
became offensive with filth. The darkness
added to the horrors , Thcro were
few lights in the saloon and nonn on the
docks , Mon kept holding out hope to the
women ,
Mr. Webster stood leaning over the rail
watching the waves rush against thorn , trv-
\aa \ to forgot that ho had had no dinner and
was hungry.
Iliul No Pilot Alianrd.
When ho hoard tlio captiln hnll a passing
fishing boat and ask , "How far Is It to Plro
Island I" the answer cnmo , "Fifteen
miles. " lie thought to himself , "Does the
captain not know wharo ho isl" Soon
another was hailed and the captain asked :
"Have you u pilot on board I"
The answer came. "No. "
What , In a rough sea , In it frull craft , no
pilot who knows bow to get the boat to Fire
Island ! Alas , It was true. Alarm
spread over the wbolo crowd of men as well
at women as soon as this b.'camo known.
'I he captain was requested to taka no risk.
The dread of this aangc'r wns creator than
the dread of the cholera. Strong hearted
men tried to calm weeping women by rous-
surlug thorn.
Soon they were on the return trip. It was
after 7 o'clock In the night when the
Copucus again headed for Sandy Hook.
All were hungry. They had had
no provision , no adequate meal slnco
leaving ttao Nnrmannln , und many had not
tasted food since they bad taken on egg and
coffee for breakfast , nearlv twenty-four
hours boforo. It was 11 o'clock at night
when the Cephcus again drew up alongside
the Stonington. This time was only to go
aboard to llnd it dark , beds ull torn up , sheets
and pillow cases gene and no lire to cook
tood. The Stonington was bad enough the
night before , but now it wns terrible. A
pleco of bread und cold moat , a skirmish for
a shoot and pillow and tuc company sat about
the dec ! : .

Nearly all were American citizens und in
sight of American soil , yet were bolnir
treated worse than prisoners in darn cells.
Mon who loved tfib olil Hag were heard to
condemn the nation for all the 111 protection
granted them , not that they wanted to
bo released to cimlumlnatn or en
danger their fellow citizens , but be
cause they wcro not receiving the same pro
tection that was granted to all other Ameri
can citizens in conformity to tno dictates of
humanity. Here was Now York , with
power to sol/.o any ship in this emergency
In which to s ifcly quarantine these ppoplo.
The nation bad at its command every ship In
the Brooklyn navy yard , and yet no one
seemed to have the cquras0 J ° resort to
" " * " *
heroic
The severest hardships were yet to come.
No sooucr was a breakfast of bread , coftoc
and eggs eaten from a beard table , amidst
personal scrambling , when it was nit. Jo
known that the Ccpheus would try again.
This time they were assured that all baggage
would be transferred from the Stouington ,
but it was not , and much of the baggaia is
yet on the Stonington , Sandy HOOK or
olsownero. It was a trying thing to many
to undertake a second trip on tbo Cepncus
after the trials of the trio onforc.
Krnm I-'ryln I'au to lii' .
Many vomen went with tears streaming
down th'ilr checks. Kind hearted men
cultncd them with the assurance that another
pilot was aboard and the captain of the
Stonington also was along tn add his ex
ponent. The sea wns qulot und the sun
suonu brightly , and thn druad and gloom was
for a time dlspillod , and brlgnt hones
sprung up , to ho soon scattered.
They had read in the press that
' Fire island would
tbo poop'.o at >
rasUt their landing , but none boiiovod such
n thing could como to piss. They could not
conceive how any man could be so heartless.
As the boat steamed In a man inn yacht
came alongside nntl warned the captain not
to land , sax ing they would tia resisted by
forco. No sooner did the boat near fie wharf
when a hundred angry voices from a mob
yelled threats , brandishing clenched lists and
swinging clubs. Clam diggers and ilsher-
mon thronged the dock and refused to lot a
ropa bo brought or fastened to Iho pier. As
soon as the boat eamo within touch Iho mnu
used force to push her uwuy from the dock.
The only alternative was to anchor the
boat there or force nor up against the wharf ,
leaving the passenger * to light tholr way
ushoro through the anuod mob. Many of
the passengers xvero In favor of thus Ught-
Incr Iho mob , but others wcro not , on ac
count of the personal danger and danger
that might come to the women and chlldron.
It wus also fourod that If a landing was
forced the mob wonld burn the lunol. Then
came an order to anchor the boat and aivult
uvonts , Thcro was no food on boarl and no
dinner bad been served ,
ItcEtsmiitiK ultli Wild liri U.
A yawl was lowered and sunt along shore
with a spokesman to reason with the mob.
Ilo soon came back , lie had only mot with
throats , The growing hunger of the passen
gers and tba frailty of many womou mid
children compelled another effort to have tbo
mob allow tno women , children and old men
to bo landed ana quartered ut Iho hotel for
tbo night , but this was denied , Tboro were
no sleeping rooms or beds on the C'opbojs.
Another attamot at relief was niado as night
bud como on. This tlmo the mob agreed to
fliind some inuttresios und lunch on board ,
The lunch was limited and cold , end there
were not half enough enough mattresses tot
the women ,
Afierso many hours of hunger and anxiety
anil woarlnosn , the SIX ) pa onirors lay down
lu rows until every upaoo In the cabin was
filled. Mis , Webster sat all night on a stool
for want of room to Ho down and she could
not endure too exposure of uiu upper deck ,
Ml 3 Flora sat up all night tu u chair on tbo
hurricane deck as she could not ho oi tbo
*
hard rout without a mattress , and tblsMr.
Wubsu'r could not got for her. Ilo wrapped
hliiHclf m u Steamer blanket und slept a
few hour * on a life boat which lay outside
the railing on the hurrlcono deck. Ho hud
his arm for a pillow and the sky for a cover'
lig .mil u strong cool wind to fan him to
Siuiiiloi | of thu Milterlnc.
I mention the manner In which my family
nnd I spent tbo night , as U well Illustrates
the condition In which all the other tint
cuhln paAscugera from the Noriuauuia put lu
thu night , " salt ! Mr , Webster. "Tbo sceuo
ou lu lower deck , whore tba leoond cabin
passengers were , was much worse and fear
ful to bjholri. This pinco was wet nnd the
crew and stewards wcro confined In the
sumo place. A policeman said to mo that ho
was familiar with the worst hardships on-
durcd in the poverty stricken districts ot
Now Vork , yet ho uevor saw so pitiable n
sight as this. "
The captain of the boat said to him that It
made him sick to look nt tbo worr.pn nnd
children In this horrlblo condition. Ono man
looking over the scone said : "Truly this is
a very hell. "
All this dreadful nlcht the mob kept re-
Hooting lluhts burning all alonu the bench to
enable them to detect any attempt to us en pa
Itrllcf Wat Long Coming.
Daylight was welcomed ns it wns never
welcomed before. The mnn gazed around
the horizon to cntch sight of sorno boat
bringing rcliof , but none could bo soon com
ing to the roscuo. Again an npponl wns
miido for food , nnd some coffee , bro.id nnd
eggs were sent thorn. Doing thus revived ,
but unwashed and hair uncombed , tljo pas
sengers sat In stlonco about the decks wait
ing for news from Now York. A bravo
newspaper boy got some few Now York
papers to then which told of troops on the
way , and that the Infamous Injunction was
set aside. Papers svero delivered to the
mob and made many lose courage , and the
crowd began to sculler awny.
Tbo afternoon catuo on nnd uo relict wns
In sight. TUo pisseugors now begun to bo
determined not to spend another such a
nlL'ht < 5a the boat , and it was resolved to
effect n landing before nightfall at any
hazard. About 3 o'clock a tug boat was SOPH
to corao in sight nnd In a few mlnutos
another. They supposed they were bringing
troops , but. when they came up they proved
to ba representatives of New York papers.
I3ut they hailed them with nowa that troops
wcro on the way by son and land , and they
announced the snmo thing to tbo mob. The
passengers cheered , the boats blew their
whistles and the band of the Normnnnla ,
which was oa board the Cephous , began to
play and the mob scattered.
l' ' ° limlly Allnucd to T.nml.
The men did not watt to follow the walks ,
but put olT across the snnds nnd How to their
boats nnd pulled nwny from shore as if they
expected nu Immediate attack from the com
ing troops. The way now being clear the
Cepheua pulled up to the wharf and headed
by the bind Iho passengers , marching in
good order , were mot by u hearty welcome
by the servants of the hotel , waving flazs
and handkerchiefs. They were soon seated
at n peed supper and taken to their rooms.
The Wobstors will undoubtedly leave for
tlielr home tomorrow afternoon , aad Mr.

davlts made by seine of the Normunnia's
passcncers that tbo London agent of the
Hamburg-American line had told them his
line was not carrying steerage passengers is
not born of imagination. I know that people
who were hesitating about going oy the Nor-

left Southampton that the company had tem
porarily ceased carrying anything but cabin
.passengers. . A. tclogrum to this effect was
received bore hero from the directorate at
Hamburg , of which a copy was shown to in
tending natrons. I was told of this telegram
at the time. When the Normunnia arrived at
Southampton from Hamburg she hud steor-

New YOIIK , Sept. 10. Another plague-
ship in the port and another story of alscaso
und death on thu voyacro. Eleven moro vic
tims added to the long list of these who have
died of cholera between Humburg and New
York. This U the story of the steamship
Bohemia uhieh reached New York last
night anil anchored In the lower quarantine.
Her coining bud been dreaded as much as
tbo coming of her slstor ship and sister
deuth-houso , the Scaudia. She left Ham
burg , the fruitful hot-bod of the cholera , at
tbo time when the pest wus at its uor.si , ami
her CS1 steerage passengers gathered from
the Infected regions of Germany and Uuxslu
wcro confidently expected to bring cholera
with them.
The Hoiicmlix sailed from Hamburg on
Septeuioer 1 , and was duo yostcrdav. On
\Vcdnesday \ morning , 350 miles east of San
dy Hook , she was passed by the Travowhich
arrived hero yesterday morning. The Bo-
iiouim was expected hero buioro nightfall
yesterday. Notwithstanding tbo anxiety
with which the hnulth oflleon waited for
her. sbo WHH not reported from Fire islund ,
which she passed at 5 o'clock in the after
noon , i.or Sandy Hook , which slid reached at
U. Half an hour later , aho was nddd to the
rholer.i llcot in thu lower bay , dropping her
anchor near tno INOW uutnpMiire.

Tin' tlorald tug , which had been waiting
for her Inside the Hook , draw up alongside
as snu stcnmeu in , and Captain Suhroeder of
the IJohomlu came to tbo rail to toll mo aoout
her voyitKO. HH was unable or unwilling to
say anything nbout the deaths on board until
ho bad reported to the health ofllccrti , but ho
admitted the essential facts of the mis
fortune tbat bait befullun the company ,
"Wo have had eleven deaths on board , "
said tbo captain , "They were nil of little
children. There Is no sickness ou board at
present. "
"What did the children dlo of ! "
"A dlarrhuul disi-'iBO , "
"Was it cholera 1"
"I cannot toll , The last death was llvo
days ago. Nobody baa been ill on board
since , "
"How long after you left port did the Ilrst
death occur ) "
"About the fourth day. The children woio
all vury young. The oldest was between I
nnd n. Tnov were all in the steerage. No
udult pasfienirtu-i have Li'en sick. "
A row ot beads projected from the port
IlijhlB ol the ktoamur us thu tug run along
side , and some of the paibengors who owned
the heads were willing to tulk about Iho
savage.
Ono man , who suld ho was an American
citizen and lived In New York , told mo there
was very llttlo excitement on the Hohumlu
over tbo deaths that hud occurioil , though
nearly everybody know that there wus

LOON LAKK , N. Y. , Sept. 10. There wns
no particular change in Mrs. Harrison's son-
oral condition today. The ru-uilt of this
morning's operation for the removal of the
lluiil In the chest cavity has given tha at
tending physicians BOUIO slight cncourago-
incut , as. the quickness of bar recovery from
the shock of Iho puncture indicates iho pos
session by the patient of considerable
strength and vitality , The previous opera-
lions were performed under the most mann
ing conditions and wcro resorted to only as
extreme measurus , Ou both occasions the
patient's system sustained the shock with
dillluully uud her recovery wus slow nnd
tedious.
Ono of tbo physicians present at the last
operation remarked today that ho would not
have been HiirnrUml ir ciw > h .i < , . , , . , , K..I
during its progress. It was , therefore , re
sorted to today with considerable misgivings
and thu great success attending It caused
corresponding gratification. While the dan
ger of n fatal termination of the case is npl
altogether removed by the successful iroal-
meut of Iho plcurtc complications , the latter
circumstance , of course , adds considerably
to the ultimate prospects ot the patient The
ntlack of pleurisy mubo overcome , but then
11 will still be necessary to clear thu system
of destructive' Laccill before hope of recovery
can bo rcutonubly entertained.
It is nn open secret that nemo of tbo physi
cians who nave attended Mrs. Ilurnson will
venture n publ'c ' prediction that she would
certainly recover. The bo t that the most
sanguine will say b that mires uro recorded
In cases wheio the same symptoms are pres
ent , Urs. Gardner and Doughcrtv are each
OP record , however , us saying Hint
there is no danger of immcui-
ata dissolution except in the event ol
unlooued for complications. The president
was so much encouraged nt the success of
loday's operation tbnt ho went for u short
wolk'in the mountains w.tii Mrs. Dimmick.
This is thu first lima for ROvernl days Hint
ho has loft the cotlngo except to 'pot his
meals. Ho received n large number of tele-
crams nnd letters today from all over the
country sucgcsling all Forts of remedies for
Mrs. Harrison , und .turned then * aver lo Dr.

'Gardner. "It is sato to say that none were of
a character to change the present cour.se of
treatment.
Tola-grains of sympathy nnd Inquiry were
received from Vice Provident Murtuii , Mar
quis Imprrall of the Italian legation , und
General Palmer , comuinnder-lu-chlof of tha
Grand Army of the Uopubliu. The latter
expressed the sincere hope that Mr.s. Harri
son's condition would improve snillciently
to permit the president to attend iho en-
cainpincnt In Washington next week. There
is , however , no possibility of his being able
to lonvo her for a week nt least.
At 11 o'clock tonight it was reported nt the
