On Saturday last Capt. Chas. II. Lacey
pilo,ed into Port Tobacco creek the largest
sailing vessel that has probably ever rested on
lis water She was a 3G0-ton schooner, and
came up TO Brent's landing for the purpose OF
taking on load of lumber for Roakes l. Morse,
wbo have Leen operating in that section. The
vessel came in without steppage or mishap OF
any kind, and considering the extrene narrow
ness Of the channel and the great difficult,
usually experienced by smaller vessels in get
Ting into the creek safely, it was no inconsider
abe task that the Captain performed. Capt
Lacey, however, is as thoroughly familiar with
our waters as any man who ever navgated n
vessel therein, and he is perhaps the only mali
no could have performed this pilotage sue
ceSsful.
