Pensacola NetUs: The condemned Nor
wegian bark Gaspee, sold at auction Thurs
day, was purchased by Harry Benjamin of
New Orleans, through his agent, james
Finnegan, the consideration having been
$3.50. The tackle, apparel, ETC., were pur-
chased by local parties. Mr. Finnegan is
much pleased with his bargain, for which,
he said, he would not take $500 He is sur
prised that he was enabled to purchase the
ship at SUCH figure. He was handicapped
in the bidding by the fact that, If he pur-
chased, his bill for having the ship towed to
New Orleans would amount to at least $500,
and that much could have been saved by a
local purchaser. He figures that his bargain
will net his employer at least $500. He will
get fully $1,000 worth of copper out of the
ship, should he burn her, and he will have
besides tine anchors and chains aud all other
metal about her to further reward him.
