Some of our old ship captains and ship owners
cannot help admiring the way Capt. W. IL. Harri
man, son of Capt. E. Hartman, of Prospect gets
about in the Addie Jordan, three masted schoon-
er of 400 tons. He left Boston on the 9th of Nav
with 500 tons of Weymouth guano and arrived at
Richmond Va, the 18th of May. Discharged and
took on board 800 tons of coal and left Richmond
the 22d of May. and arrived in New York the 26th
following sailing the James river about 40 miles
each way. Last February he made the run from
Wilmington Bar to st. Simon Sound, Ca, in p
hours. This speaks well for the vessel, and better
that this one of the vessels that pays the
fair dividend, in these hard times for our ship
ping. Blood will tell, and the boy has shown what
he could do with fair chance The old man will
be obliged to look out for his own laurels on the
sea, or this will cast him in the shade Bucks.
