branching out somewhat on the waters of
Penobscot Bay. He said last fall the stock
holders of the Vinalhaven and Rockland
route asked him to make a proposition in
regard to putting on boat on that line. He
made proposition which the company ac-
cepted. He returned to Ohio and went to
some expense in regard to designs for a new
boat, and was then informed tuat the Vinal-
haven and Rockland Company repudiated
their bargain, and the matter was given up.
Mr.. Kimbail now thinks that after the Em-
mesine concludes her trips to Dark Harbor,
he may put her on between Rockland and
VinalhaveD. In that case the boat will be
sponsOne1 out on each side. Another idea
is to build up a route between Belfast and
towns along Eggemoggin Reach, as far east
perhaps as Bass Harbor.
