SHIPS LONG VOYAGE
INTEREST IN NEW YORK HITCH ON HER ARRIVAL NEW YORK, Jan, 1. Scores of old-time sailors were disappointed as they waited for hours yesterday on the south shore of Staten Island to witness the spectacle of Captain Allen Villiers bringing the square-rigged ship Joseph Conrad into New York harbor. The craft was anchored off Sandy Hook late on Saturday. To-dav the captain attempted to break a way against a strong north-west wind and a powerful ebb tide, blit even with the use of his auxiliary motor, he. could not make much progress, and at nightfall dropped sail when still seven miles from the Narrows, leading into the harbor. The craft had arrived from Nassau. As there was not sufficient wind to move the vessel, Captain Villiers had her towed into quarantine to-day. There, after a routine examination by customs and health inspectors, she was towed to an" anchorage off the Brooklyn 'waterfront. Captain Villiers said that all haste was -made from Nassau to arrive before the "new year, as the homes of several metnbers of the crew are in New York. He f will remain about 10 days before continuing his round-the-world cruise via South America, Australia and Africa.
