When the Astoria had dropped down the Clyde as far as Greenook, an attempt was made to induce these Russiau emigrants to join her there, but without avail. Possibly, if they had gone to Greenea, they could not havə been persuaded to embark on a tag in order to reach the ship, for foreign emigrants have before now heen known to refuse to slop en board a fender, believing that if they once did so they would be carried right across the Atlantic in one of these steamship lines must either be scrupulously amall boats.
