The Cruise of the Pilgrim.

Gan hands and the cook" were detailed to write
up a recent cruise in Penobscot bay; but Our
George and the Local have so well performed their
parts that little is left for the writer save few
words of introduction. Should | undertake to tell
how much enjoyed the trip, how much indebted to
the of the Pilgrim, and to speak in detail of
the good qualities of this staunch little craft. as
shown in "real cutter weather. more space would
be required than is at present available. So. re-
ferring to Mr.. Dyer's article, which follows, for
details, the following notes otted down in COM
memoration of a cruise of which there is but one
complaint to make-it ended too soon. The wealth
perfect, the yacht swift and safe, the arder
well stocked and our shipmates most companion
able.
1t was my first cruise in cutter and very much
doubt if a boat of the same tonnage of any other
type would have behaved as well as did the Pilgrim
in ten mile beat to windward against into
which she now and then ran her bowsprlt. 1t was
wonderful the way she worked to windward, and
though her lee rail was under water good deal Of
the time she did not break the water to any extent
or throw spray enough to wet those on board

1t was delightful sail down the bay Thursday.
As we went on the breeze freshened, drawing down
over the Northport anG Linconvie hills in fierce
gusts that sent the Pilgrim along with the Local at
the helm. at the best rate of speed she had ever
shown. Two hours after leaving Belfast were
fairly abreast of Camden, and this was certainly
good work for a small craft. Later the breeze died
out and the deep lines were baited and thrown
and visions of chowder arose. to be height
ened by nbbe and then eclipsed by the hooking
of a sculpin in thirty fathoms of water. This dis
gusted the fisherman and soon a breeze sprang up
to watt US into port at North Haven. What the Lo-
cal says of the advantages of this place as n sum
mer resort is fully endorsed by his shipmates.
Here is beautiful land-locked sheet of water for
sailing and rowing, and the constant passing of
vessels east and west through the Thorcughfare

pictures. While we lay at anchor fisherman or

After the Spoils.

Once more Maine Democrats are storming
the White House and departments and spread
ing their names on hotel registers at the Nation
al Capital. The Washington correspondent of
the Boston Herald, who speaks as by authority,
warns the new corners that this is not a good
time to attempt to get more appointments for
Maine; that 1.-THE President is very tired of Of

procession of the very hungry and very thirsty

special despatch says thaton Saturday Chair
man Brown headed procession consisting of
Judge Lamson, w. A. Cromwell, Edmund Will
son, d. r. Hastings and Messrs. Bridgeman
and Emory, and called to see Mr.. Manning.
There was some conversation about the wealth
er and casually it was remarked that there were
good places in Maine yet filled by Republicans.
One correspondent says: ''The lists of officers
parcelled out for friends of these gentlemen
would fill a newspaper. They have not yet ap-
piled for the earth, but they want Maine and
and custom houses are expected to be turned
over to the hungry Democrats as soon as George
G. Howard of Portland, W. NJ. Rust of Belfast
and General S. d. Leavitt of Maine have arriv-
ed"
1t is understood here that Lamson and Rust
are after the same office-the coectorship at
this port. Judge Lamson was among those
first mentioned as candidates for the place, but
apparently took no active measures for secur-
ing It. Recently he went to work and got up
quite an array of names in the northern part of
the county, and then started for Washington

his mouth open waiting for the plum to drop in

FORMER HOME AT NORTH HAVEN AND Dis
COURSES GENERALLY ON THINGS NAUTICAL.
1t was with pleasure ccepted recently, an in
vitation to become one of yachting party of four
for a brief cruise among the islands of Penobscot
Bay in the yacht Pilgrim, owned by Dr. W. H.
Wfnslow, of Pittsburg Pa. Dr. Winslow is a ma

here. victim of hay fever he has discovered that
the air on the coast of Maine is sovereign remedy
and while cruising in these waters is entirely eX-
empt from the malady. This season he had yacht
built for his exclusive use and for two months has
spent most of his time on the water. The Doctor
and myself were shpmates upon former occasion.
In 1861 when civil war raging in land
many of the a.faring of Maine entered the
United States Navy. The Doctor and were on the
same vessel-the L. S. bark Ethan Alen-although

The Pilgrim was built by L. l.. Williams Of South
Boston, and is enrolled In the South Boston yacht
club. She is cutter model; % feet all, 81 feet
feet beam and draws 5 feet of water aft and less
than two forward. She has a rocker keel upon
which are 1910 pounds of iron, and carries inside
1900 pounds of iron moulded to her wedge shaped
bottom Her mast is p feet long without topmast,
a short pole terminating the spar. The bowsprit

main boom 81 feet, and gaff 1874 feet In cruising
she carries but two sas-mainsail and jib, although
she is provided with spinnaker and gaf1topsail
for racing purposes. Her interior is all cabin, there
being no bulkheads. AS Our George remarked, she
is like him, bigger inside than she is out. On each
side of the cabin are transoms l2a feet long which
seats during the day and as beds at night.
The cabin trunk is one foot above the deck, feet
long, with Az feet standing room. Forward of the
mast is the pantry oil stove and general storeroom.
The deck is flush. The cockpit is six inches below
the deck and reaches six inches above 1t, paneed
up inside. A circular seat nine inches wide runs
around the cockpit where the helmsman sits and
steers with tiller. Beneath the cockpit deck is
"a gallon water tank, and the pump. Her sails were
made by McManus Il Son, South Boston, the cec-
brated sailmakers who made the Puritan's sails.
The Pilgrims frame Is oak, with hard pine plank
ing. She is painted black with a narrow yellow
band running around the side She has a straight
stem, knife-like bow, graceful lines and a rakish
appearance from this description and the above

At 10 A. M. Sept. 18th the Pilgrim filed away

The opposition of the Prog. Age to water
supply for this city was to be expected. An
organ of the liquor interest and the advocate of
free rum, it would naturally have an aversion
to water, as well as to everything which tends
to promote good health and good morals 1t
would be waste of time and space to argue
the matter with one besotted and perverse.
Every citizen of ordinary intelligence recogniz-
es the necessity Of securing water supply for
fire and domestic purposes, for reasons that are
obvious. If the sanitary view of the question
be entirely ignored, and 1t /. judged solely from
business standpoint, the evidence Is all in
favor Of an abundant water supply. The Calais
Times says of the sentiment in that city:
The sentiment in favor of establishing a sys-
TEN of v alter Works in this city is very strong
among all classes of citizens, and the movement
can hardly fail to progress to successful issue.
The overwhelming testimony from all towns
having water works as to the great benefits de-
rived. has satisfied our leading taxpayers that
Calais should hasten to join the procession
that not to do so is, In fact, reckless eXtrava-
gance.
