Capt, Sprsgue of this city is probably
one of the ablest engireers in the State if
not in New England. lie was for some
years master on the tug City of Lynn, and in
one year during that period. the year 1871,
he took y3S tows through the draw of the
q anc X bridge. He has probably taken
the largest tow of ice which has ever passed
through the draw. ON the Both day of July,
1871, he towed through the bridge POO tons
of ice, and this was in the time when schoon
ers would average but three TO the thousand
tons. Tbs Is truly a remarkable record,
and one of which the captain should be
proud. Although he has not followed his
c tlling for some years, he could undoubted
