engaged a state-roon, No. 90, on the Boston
boat (the Tremon) at Boston and took her
ticket for Portland. She had with her fine
looking infant. About 2 O'Clock yesterday
morning the stewardesss attention was called
to the state-room that had been engaged by
the woman, and there she discovered the
child, all alone, but apparently perfectly
happy and contented. and provided with a
nursing bottle, to which it, ever and anon,
paid diligent attention With the child was
lads's handbag, containing handsome hand
kerchief with the monogram sd "" and the
ate-room and passage ticket. The child's
apparel was of the richest, trimmed with very
fine lace. Whether the mother left the boat
before the steamer started from Boston,
whether she took passage and committed sui

abandoned the child at this port, is not known,
for no one remembers seeing her after the
steamer left Boston. The stewardess took
charge of the infant on the return day trip of
the boat to Boston yesterday.
