THE LoNG MISSED CLIPPER ROCK TERRACE.
The long missed clipper ship Rock Terrace,
which was supposed TO have gone down IA year
ago while bound to Japan, has been heard
from. The Rock Terrace sailed from the
Standard Oil Works at Point Breeze on sept
%, 1881, for Japan, under contract with the
China and Japan Trading Company Of New
York. When near the Philippine islands, on
her run to Hiogo, Capt. Atkinson, for some
unexplained reason. but it is thought through
trouble with his crew. left his vessel and land
ed on an island near which the vessel happened
to be passing, and left her to her fate. Moth
ng more was heard of the craft until she was
sighted off the Gilbert Islands. When the
German steamship Eber was searching for an
island on which to land Maetoa. the eXiled
samoan king, who was put ashore at Jaiut
island, of the Marshall group. the Rock Ter
race was seen stranded on the outlying coral
reefs Of TaraWa island one of the Gilbert
group. The natives succeeded in getting out
almost the entire cargo. which so lightened the
vessel that she worked farther up on the reefs
and broke up. Nothing is known of what be-
reached the Philippine islands in safety and re-
shipped Capt. Atkinson is said to be living in
secluSon in Nova Scotia. The Rock Terrace
was built at Portland n. b.. in 1879. and reg
i>tered 1869 tons. Troop Il Son of st. John. n.
