Deputy Sheriffs Brown and Hartford fell in
with one John Curtis yesterday, who tells the
following story. He states that about week
ago he was in Boothbay, and wandering down
to the wharves in search of work, he discov.
cred schooner dischargipg laths and shingles.
As the crew evidently consisted of only the
captain and one man, he asked for work. The
captain said he would engage him to come as
far as Portland at the rate of SIS month.
To this Curtis consented. The schooner, hay
ing discharged her laths and shingles, sailed.
She was the schooner Boston, Capt. Morse,
and was bound according to the bills of lading,
which he has since secured to Brighton,
Mass, with $4,000 laths, 10000 shingles and
$4,000 brick from the Brewer Brick Company,
at Brewer, Me.
Everything went very we'll for the first day
or two, but then the vessel met another schoon-
or on the high seas which spoke them. Both
vessels hove to, and Captain Morse transferred
about Il, 900 brick from his vessel to the other,
for which he received about $780, The two
schooners then parted company, and the Bos-
ton made for Portland arriving here Thursday.
The other man left, and on Friday the captain
took his clothes and those of the other man,
told Curtis to keep the ship while he was gone
and departed, giving Curtis the impression
that he should Immediately return. Since then
nothing has been seen of Captain Morse or
the other man. When they arrived the vessel
was somewhat disabled aud the captain an
chored her out in the roads, and Curtis hired
q tug-boat and had her brought inside the
breakwater, where she now lies at anchor.
The deputies telegraphed at once to the
Brewer Brick Company and await an answer.
Cartiss story gives the idea that the captain
and the other man sold the laths, shingles and
One-third the brick, and that they have divided
the spoils and cleared out. The Boston is
about 40 tons burden.

BUSINESS EMBARRASMENTS.
Failure of Messrs. Titc0mb & Thompson
of Kennebunk.

The depression in shipping which has pre-
vailed for a long time has resulted in several
disastrous failures in Kennebunk, the last be-
ing that Of the firm of Tltcomb & Thompson.
Some weeks ago Nathaniel L. Thompson
suspended with heavy liabilities and now
Messrs. Titcomb s. Thompson, a firm com.
posed of Mr.. Joseph Titcomb, one of the most
prominent men of Kennebunk, and some
years ago Democratic candidate for governor,
and Mr.. William Thompson, have also been
compelled to stop. The immediate cause of
their failure is inability to dispose of ship
recently built, and which is now about ready
for sea. Their liabilities are not stated but
they are undoubtedly heavy. In circular
issued to their creditors they express confidence
that they will be able to pay dollar for dollar if
an extension is granted them. With this
failure come rumors that two other prominent
The Portland daily press., 1878-10-31

firms OF the same town are in financial straits
and that liens and keepers are the daily resorts
for the numerous unpaid creditors at the lower
village. These financial embarrassments make
the prospect at Kennebunk for the winter very
gloomy. The principal industry and that on
which large portion of the population
depends for livelihood is ship-building, and
without it a large number of families will
inevitably be in distress. 1t is to be hoped
that some arrangement will be made by
which Messrs. Ttcomb & Thompson will be
able to continue. They have already filed q
petition 10 the York county court of insolvency.
