THE QUEENSTOWN CALL

We have received a telegram from the United States Lines at Cork
contradicting the statement published on July 31 that the steamers of
this company were ceasing to call at Queenstown. The company say[s]:

"The facts are as follows :--Our steamship President Adams, from
New York, arrived off the Daunt light-vessel at 4 a.m. on July 28, and our
company's special pilot (Aherne), who had been awaiting the arrival of the
vessel boarded her three miles south-south-west of Roche's Point,
bringing her to an anchorage at 4.30 a.m. G.M.T. Having landed fifty-six
out of sixty-three Queenstown passengers and the Cork and Queenstown mails
only (the other Irish mails were carried on to Plymouth at the request of
the Cork postmaster), the President Adams proceeded for Plymouth at 5.45,
all well."
