Marine Disasters.

The schooner Owen B. Kinds of Calais, Capt.
Clendenin, sailed from New York last Friday
for Salem. She was caught in the gale of last
Saturday and carried as far east as Mt. Desert.
In the gale her flying jib and foresail were car
red away and her mainsail was split The
boats were washed from the davits but the crew
were unirjured. She came into this harbor for
repair yesterday, after which she will proceed
to Salem The captain reports that he was in
company with two other schooners, which he
lost sight of when the gale came up.
The schooner which the telegraph announced
ashore on one of the Isles Of Shoals, was the
S. p Ames of Bucksport, Capt. 7. j. Gray.
She went ashore Saturday night on one of the
small, uninhabted Isles of Shoals owing to the
violence of the gale tearing her sails away.
There the crew remained until Wednesday, ex-
alton was ascertained by the people on Star Is
land. II was impossible to get to the ship
wrecked crew and, as last resort, line was
attached to dory which was permitted to drift
out to sea. The current took it so near the is
land that, after several vain attempts, it was
secured by the shipwrecked crew. They got
into it and were safely pulled to land. The
mate and one of the seamen were so badly
frozen that they could not be moved from the
Isles of Shoals The captain and rest of the
Crew were Gdkeu ny Luo SUedn6r Its THURSDAY
and carried to Portsmouth. All of the crew
were badly frozen.
We recently published an account of the loss
of the schooner Alice NJ. Allen of Harpswell.
The captain and mate state that on the day af-
ter the Allen was dismasted the brig Alexan-
der Nichols, Capt: Peterson, passed close by
and saw them in their precarious state. She
| was signalled bat passed on her course without
replying In reply to this serious charge Capt
| Peterson says that when the schooner was sig.
| nailed he endeavored to go to her assistance,
but gale came up and blew his vessel away
| This statement is denied by Capt. Brigham and
| Mr.. Crosby, point blank They further state
| that the storm did not come up for some hours
after the brig had sailed by, leaving them in
| their terrible position.
| The Allen was owned principally by Captain
| Brigham, and was valued at $4,000, and was
insured for $1,000. The insurance is confined
to the CAPTAINS share in the vessel, and only
| one-third of his interest was protected. Hel
cargo of salt was valued at $1,000 and was in
sured for $3.50.

Two PIcTUREs.-Two paintings in Hale's
window attract the delighted and lingering at
tention of all passers by. They are from the
brush of Harry Brown, and are the best bits of
canvas he has exhibited tor many a day.
Though each scene has local habitation and
name yet each fittingly symbol zes the land
one place of which it portrays. The painting
entitled Switzerland represents scene in the
pass of the Smplon, with hills whose snow
clad tops pierce the skies, and deep gorges
down which mountain torrents pour, The pic
ture with its wild and rugged effects is full of
the sentiment of the Alpine land, and the spec
tator fairly shivers as he gazes at it. The 9TH
er, Italy, pictures ruin by the shores of the
blue Mediterranean, while in the background
brown hills loom up. 1t is at Capri, and while
wanting the solemn grandeur OF the Alpine
view, conveys that melancholy grace which we
associate with the ruined cities on classic
ground. Both paintings are strong in color
and drawing.
The pictures are uprights. and the frames in
which they are set are worthy shriues for SO
beautiful things. They are graceful in design
and ornament, convey the idea of lavishness
inf work and material and are incontestably
the handsomest picture frames ever made in
Portland.
