It is a white flag with a black square in the center above a red flag with a black: square in. the center—or, at night, a white light shown above a red light. The wind last night, however, as a matter of fact, was southeast. If this northwest signal had been up several days ago it would have been "just in time" to save numerous vessels aud a number of lives. Put; ting it up yesterday only advertises the fact that Oioi Boreas had once more stolen a big march on ths Signal Service Bureau. In other words, after the great nor'wester had come and gone, the signal was put up, and within an hour after it was put ud a southeast wind commenced blowing. NUMEROUS SHIPWRECKED MARINERS were about in inariae circles yesterday—sailors whose vessels were wrecked in the recent nor'-wester, and some of whom lost Bhipmates and narrowly escaped watery graves themselves. These crews and survivors of crews will continue arriving for several days to come. Among the men arriving yesterday were the crew of one vessel not hitherto announced to have been wrecked-—the J. O. Moss Two men belonging on the lost schooner ISclipse, two from the scow Skinner, one from the schooner Morning Light, and one from the Sigel also arrived, and Captain Harry Long, of the clipper J. W. Doane. wrecked at Buffalo, the only large, fine vessel lost during THE JOHN MEE. The arrival of the schooner John Mee, as an- yesterday morning, . was correct. She and sound in Chicaeo. Sue was over there among the vessels on the lee shore during the northwester, but, while near the beach, did not eo ashore. Her anchors held her. A portion of her deck-load of lumber was lost overboard. The captain and crew suffered great hardship, but are all safe and well. TELEGRAPHIC NOTES. (Special Telegram to ine inter Ocean. falo, N.

The collision at Polk street bridge Sunday ight., announced yesterday, was a serious affair. The schooner, the Daniel G. Fort, is damaged, and the bridge is in a bad way. One of the great iron cords of the bridge is broken, and it is otherwise demoralized. The repairs will cost heavily. The blame is all placed on the bridge-tender whom the officera of the tun and vessel say was not at his post. Some one on the bridge alyf rang t::e bell whan Che tug wtiistlei proceeded on, The bridge was not opened, and ihe collision was the natural result.

STILL ANOTHER GBATN I'LEET FOK BELOW. Late as it is in the season there were two charters yesterday for grain to Biiffalo— the steamship Tacoma, of the Lehisrh Valley Transportation Company, and the steamship Jewett, of tho Union Steamboat Company's Line. The Tacoma takes 70,000 bushels of corn, shipped by J. B. Lyon 6z Co., and the Jewett takes 134,000 bushels of corn, shipped by Kershaw A: Co. The Tacoma goes to the elevator this morning, but the Jewett has not yet arrived in port from below. Tho propeller Rochester, of the Union Line, chartered several clays ago, was loading yesterday and will get away to-day. The Tacoma also may get away this eveniug.
