PerilS of the Sea.

The sloop Belle Of the Bay, Capt. Under
wood, sailed from this port several days ago
for Boothbay. The captain had crew of
another man besides himself. The centre
board was frozen but it was thought it would
thaw out with the action of the waves. The
vessel, so far as is known here, had not ar
rived at her destination, and, it is feared, she
was blown out at sea in the gale prevailing
but may possibly turn up in some port south
of here. The schooner is about ten tons bur
den.
Last Saturday afternoon the schooner Eliza
A. Scribner left this port for Belfast to load
ice. She went as far as the Kennebec, but
when opposite Seguin the weather was so
rough that she put about and ran back to-
wards Portland. She sighted Hallway Rock
light, but for some reason did not think it safe
to try to make this harbor. She drifted off to
the east and Sunday afternoon arrived in
Salem. Her spanker was split and her fore
staysail blown away.
: A report was current on the street last night
that the schooner Bramhall had put into
Provincetown with the loss of sails and with
captain and crew badly frost bitten.

Tuesday afternoon in that city, resulting in
the loss of his left hand. For the purpose of

narrow place close to a revolving wheel of his
saving machine, when one of the spokes
caught it and jammed it against the wood
work, mangling the hand in frightful man.

office, where it was found necessary to ampu-

MUSIC AND THE DRAMA.
THE VERY MERRY Map1Nrp

THE VERY MERRY MARINER.
1t has been ascertained that the plot of the
Every Merry Mariner or "See-Kadet," is
identical with that of the comedy of Captain
Charlotte" played in London, England, in
1874.
Inc spectator ascertains that there is a duch-
ess who bears strong family likeness to her of
Gerostein-a virtuous elder sister, as it were
and he is also made aware that this distin-
gulshed parsonage has fancy for St. Leon, a
subordinate officer in her navy whose promo
ton is as rapid as was that of Fritz from full
private to commander-in-chief He further
learns that in his merry youth this ST. Leon
had formed entangling relations with Char
lotte Clopler, a Partisan grisette, who sudden
~ turns up in the moment of triumph to
plague him with the troublesome associations
OF the past This young person, in spite of the
broadcast hints that her presence is not desired.
persists in prolonging her visit, and while she
stays the approach of the Duchess is ANNOUNCE
ed Charlotte slips behind the arras, changes
her costume and emerges in the dress of mid
snlpman She is forthwith pressed into SER
vice, and her disguise leads to various commit
cations, more or less amusing, which last until
the close The action goes on in the air.
dhere are many pretty numbers scattered
through the score. The most notable numbers
are the songs and chorus son to Portugal, ''the
hrst duet between Maria and st. Leon the un-
accompanied quartette "Softly, Softly" in
which the composer shows an unusual amount
OF fancy and ingenuity, and Charlotte's brin-
dist, DE suis une file" The orchestral ac-
liant.
CHANDELIERS BAND.
Chambers Band concert and dance at CITY
Hall last night was not as largely attended as
we should like to have seen, although there
was large and handsome party present. The
programme published in yesterdays PRESS
was admirably rendered, and it made it all the
! more provoking to think that our people who
can patronize foreign talent can't appreciate
nome talent. There was an order of twelve
dances after the concert which was in full pro-
gress when we left the hall.
FIRST BAPTIST CONCERT
very delightful concert was given at the
First Baptist vestry last night to large audi
ence. Miss Dryden and Mr.. Porteous favored
those present with some vocal selections ex-
ceedingly well rendered, Miss Evans and Miss
Merrill some instrumental numbers and Miss
| Zoe read most acceptably.
