More than six years since New Brunswick
farmer living on the Upper ST. John, took it
into his head to build vessel in which to take
his family to Australia He went to st. John
and there visited ship-yard for the first time
in his life and examined the build of schoon-
err. Returning home with a few tools and a
book on navigation, he worked.all the time he
could get days and studied with the aid of his
wife his navigation book" evenings. At the
end of six years his vessel was completed.
During the spring freshets he floated the craft
down to St. John. At that time he had ex-
pended every dollar he could raise, including
the proceeds of the sale of his farm. Mr.. Pom
eroy, an American shipper, saw the craft and
fiuding that it was an object of curiosity, ad-
vanced the money for an outfit and chartered
her to take to Philadelphia. The craft is said
not only to be great curiosity in point of con-
structi9n. but has numerous inventions never
before seen on vessel of any kind which Mr..
Draper, the backwoods builder, has stadied out
himself. Draper has chartered his vessel for
three months in order to get the means of TAX
ing his family on trip to Australia. The vessel
is of about fifty tons burden. She is expected
here every day and will remain in the harbor
