Not a Race.

SOMETHING ABOUT THE BIG SHIPS LAST

CAL VICTORY.
a correspondent writes to the Bath
Times to correct some errors in an ac-
count given of a race around the Horn.
He says: I'm the first place Capt James
f. Murphy had no bet with the Tam
o. Shanter's captain. Mr. Peabody. nor
did Capt. Peabody have any bet, for
neither captain knew for certain when the
other sailed. There was no more race
than any snip makes every voyage. The
Shenandoah lett y. Y. March "a. late in

Fisherman's Life OH the Banks.

The tisherman's life on the Banks and
the Georges in winter is a very hard one,
though they live well on board-better
than ON shore. They have to, that they
may stand the excessive cold and their paw

voyage is made on shares. From the
gross profits of the catch are deducted the
cost of bait and ice and one fourth of one

called GOES to the owners of the vessel.

These are long lines, anchored on the
bottom, and extending out from the
schooner many hundreds of yards. To
these, at intervals OF fatllom (the dis
lance varies for different fish,, are attach
ed shorter lines. These lines have to be
tended in dories, each containing two
men, who haul, bait, and land the fish in
the boat, to be transferred to the schoon-
er. Herein lies the danger and hardship,
for the strong tides of the Banks and the
shoal water pile up great combing seas.
The cold is cruel, and the work hard
Suddenly down comes a fog, not the soft
mist of summer or autumn but thick,
heavy bank, soaked through with the
penetrating cold of the icebergs farther
north. Horns are blown from the vessel,
but every year many dories are lost. One
would think that common sense, if not
law, would make each dory carry a break
erof water and pilotbread; but none do and
either experience does not teach or the
fishermen like such chances for year after

Then come days of hunger and thirst;

The Shipping on the Lakes.

Some idea OF the extent of the lake ship
building interest may be cleaned from the
statement that in the year 1890 there was
built ON the great lakes forty per cent.
more steam tonnage than was built Oh the
entire Atlantic and Pacific seaboar,ls in
the same time. Furthermore the average
vessel built on the lakes during the wear
1890 was twice the size of the average
vessel built during the same period on
the seaboard Mr.. W. A. Livingston.
who is referred to by ship builders all
along the lakes as one of the most care
full statisticans of their interests, declares
that there is fifty seven per cent. more
steam tonnage on the great lakes in the
class between 1000 and 300 tons than
there is on the entire seaboard. The fig
rres he gives are.
The average size OF the sail vessels. says
Mr.. Livingston on our entire seaboard is
LIS gross registered tons per vessel as
against lbs tons on the lakes. The steam
ers on the seaboard average 300 tons. as
against 42S tons on the lakes. Or, taking
all the vessels except the canal boats, the
average size ON the entire seaboards is 16o
tons, against $40 tons on the lakes The
estimated value of the American lake
marine is So, 600. 900, as against 81, 300
600 estimated value OF the Canadian lake
marine. Furthermore, it is known that
to-day more traffic passes through the st.
Mary's Falls Canal than through the Suez
Canal. These statements are deemed
worth making in order to dispel all posi-
bic doubt as to the extent of the marine
interests on the lakes. With very few
exceptions all steamers now plying on the
lakes were built at lake ports. Harper's
Weekly
The teak, which has passed into proverb
as the best material for ship building, is
superior to all other woods, from the fact
that it contains an essential Oil which pre-
vents spikes and nails driven into it from
rusting. This property is not possessed
by any other wood in the world, and furn-
ishes an explanation of the fact that YES
sells built OF teak are practically indie
structible. Some have been known to
last for $50 years, and when broken up
their beams were as sound as when first
put together.
