GIANT RAFT.
The Successful Passage From St
John to Brooklyn.

The Successful Passage from st.
John to Brooklyn.
The largest string of logs ever made
into a raft was towed into the Erie Basin,
South Brooklyn, the other morning by
the tugs Cyclops and Haviland. The
raft is twelve hundred feet long, twenty
four feet wide, and twelve feet deep II
is composed Of eleven sections. each of
which contains about five hundred logs,
ranging in size from the diameter of a
wagon-wheel down to that of Autograph
pole. The logs are piled into huge bum
dies and strapped together with chains
strong enough totow the Great Eastern.
These sections were placed in q string
to the Cyclops, which was itself
fastened to the Haviland. Each vessel
had it's own master. Capt. Ellis having
charge Of the Cyclops, and Capt. Gally,
of the Haviland, while the entire expe-
dition was piloted and managed by
Capt. Rufus Patterson of st. John, N. B.,
the veteran skipper Of the Province.
The logs were bought by Mr.. James
Murray, of New Brunswick, early thi-
summer. The distance which they were
towed is $50 miles, az the ships sail, and
the freight would have been very heavy.
Mr.. Murray accordingly consulted with
Capt, G, G, Ellis q brother Of the u,ana-
GER Of the Cyclops, who undertook to
tow the raft to New York at saving of
fifty percent. in freight rates. The raft
was constructed. and on Aug. 7, was
started from the harbor ofSt. John. The
trip was made without serious accident.
The first three Gays were as calm as
could be desired, but on the fourth day
Capt. Patterson wat obliged to seek
shelter in Boothbay, where the raft Was
detained three days. Pleasant weather
was experienced after the storm until
New port was reached, when
a strong gale separated the
crib attached to the Cyclops from the re
mainder Of the string. which was sent
adrift. This was a serious predicament,
and the raft was in great danger of going
to pieces on the beach at a loss of many
thousands of dollars. The Haviland was
Immediately detached aud sent to the
rescue of the lost raft, and in the M6rii-
ing the two vessels came together with
| their charges and resumed their origi1aI
positions, which were maintained dur
| ing The remainder Of the voyage. The
passage through He'll G.ta was easily
! ACCOMPLISHED, Sands Point was passed
without any difficulty, and the great raj
was soon securely anchored in the Eiie
Basin, where it will remain until it cal

made lively work for the police. Several
