that the ambiguous wording may mean
there have been recent rains in the up
country Chatham county and beyond.
Possibly though, the senders of the tele
grams are only surmising because they
saw a heavy bank of clouds in the direc
tien in which the rain is so badly need
ed. At any rate we will wait and see.

1 Coraplaiut igainst Sailor Boarding
llonse Banners.
Complaint from the masters of vessels
now held at quarantine station near the
mouth of the river about the utter and
reckless disregard of the quarantine laws
on the part of the sailor boarding house
runners who infest this port,and who, while
the captain and crew of a ship which
chances to sail from a South American
or other extreme southern port after a
stated season is compelled by virtue of
the quarantine regulations of the port to
remain at the quarantine station a cer
tain number of days without communi
cation with the shore, steal on
board their vessel and not onl
steal their men away, but steal the prop
erty of .the vessel abo. Captain
Morrice of the Br. brig Tra.no re, at
quarantine, had to lower his boat on
Friday night last to savo one of
these same characters from drowning.
The boat of the boarding house run ler
having capsizedjwhile sneakingalong side
of the brig in the darkness of the nigh t
for the purpose the Captain thought
and subsequent 1 events developed the
correctness of the surmise of stealing
someoftne Tramote's crew. To show L
the grateful appreciation in which the
runner held the kindness of the Ca ptain
for saving his life, two of the sailors
w
were afterwards induced to1 desf j-t and
in doing so stole a fine large yi.wl boat
belonging to the brig. Naturally enough
the Captain asks why he shoal d be so
rigidly quarantined and no wutch kept
on those from the shore. By tall means
we think there ought to be a police or
guard boat at the quarantine ' ground to I
watch such manoeuvres add prevent any
eemmnnication whatever from, either side
while vessels are anchored at quaran
tine. ' -
