As the ship passed Quarantine to- night on her way out she was signall- ed by the Sterret to stop. Ignoring the order, the steamer raced down the harbor at full speed and was not over- taken by the Sterret until she had passed through Ambrose Channel and was abreast the channel lightship. The Sterret returned up the harbor with its captive, It was said at Quarantine late to- night thgs the City of Madras would be permitted to sail tomorrow morn- ing as her clearance papers are cor- rect.
