Start for Liberia The Steamer Horsa Departs Savannah

The Danish steamer Horsa left the Delaware River bound for Savannah to pick up 200 passengers for emigration to Liberia. The ship carries 600 tons of coal in the hold and 100 berths in the upper deck with beds and clothing. Two large stoves on deck will cook meals for emigrants during the voyage. The movement, backed by the International Immigration Society, aims to relocate poorer southerners to the African republic. In Savannah, immigration officials expect the voyage to begin a larger transfer of southern residents to Liberia.
