LEAKING SCHOONER.
The A. t. Gifford's Narrow Escape.

Pumped Two Days and Half-Crew
Wanted to Leave, but Captain Diggins
Saved the vesse1--How the Gertie
Lewis Punched Hole
The fishing schooner A. T. Clifford OF
6 Gloucester arrived in the harbor Sunday
night with Is, 600 mixed fish for DIS. Fer
Eald & Co. She was leaking badly and
had been for two days and half. Dur
ing all that time the crew were at the
pumps and were just able to keep her
free and no more. She sprang aleak on
Georges Bank at point about ITO miles
FROM Cape Elizabeth. Rough weather
strained her and opened the seams. She
leaked so badly that all haste was made
for port. There was head wind. which
strained the vessel more and she was
having hard time when another schoon-
err came alongside and offered to take of
the men. There was crew of sixteen
men, and every man wanted to leave the
disabled vessel, but the captain, Arthur
Diggins, made sturdy protest. 1t was
his first trip in her, and to abandon her
to fill and sink would have been a bad
thing for him, and cowardly and un-
necessary thing, as it proved. He was
obliged to offer the sailors something
extra to induce them to stay with him.
Their fears were quite justifiable how
ever. Had rough weather come up it
would have been impossible to have. kept
her afloat. But luckily, though bothered
by head wind, they had fairly good
weather, and reached this port after two
days and half OF continual pumping.
She was in the stream yesterday. and
the crew were still pumping. She will
probably 60 on the ways. today.
The Gertie Lewis. mentioned in yes
terday's PRESS, as being pumped out
all day Sunday, went on the marine
railway yesterday. 1t was found that
when she was beached at South Port
land last Friday, she fell over, and
sharp rock pierced her bllge, making
large hole. All night long Sunday
night it was necessary to keep the
pumps at work to prevent her from sink
ing in the dock. ~

AN IMPORTANT. iDECIsIoN.
That Relates to Mailing Letters in Office
Boxes.

Yesterday morning case was brought
before Judge Haskell. in equity. which
is of considerable Importance las it set
ties, by his ruling, ths rights of credi-
tors to become parties to an assignment.
James n. Roberts of Cambridge
brought bill in equity against..M. P.
Frank.and franklin. Lawrence. Mesrss.
Frank and Lawrence were the assignees
of Chase Son and Company. who, about
two years ago made an assignment for
the benefit of their creditors, andflimit-
ing the period in which creditorsscould
become parties to the assignment, to
four months. This bill was brought to
admit Mr.. Roberts to share in the distri-
button of the assets, which was denied
him by the assignees on the Egrounds
that they had not received his assent to
the assignment within the time limited.
Mr.. Roberts testified that he signed the
required assent within the four months,
and deposited it in mail box in his
office from whence it was customary to
take letters and deposit them in the
United States mail box.
The assignees testified that they had
never received Roberts's assent, and
gave some further testimony to show
that Roberts had not been party to the
assignment.
The court held that Roberts's sigma
ture to the assent and its deposit in the
box ready for mailing was sufficient
assent, and he admitted Roberts to
share in the assets. Mr.. Seth L. Lara bee
appeared for Roberts. and Hon. Mp.
Frank for the assignees.

The Second Lecture In the Stoddard
Course.

The customary magnificent audience well
coined Mr.. Stoddard last evening, as he
stepped upon the platform and proceeded
to take his hearers upon a tour through
Switzerland.
Starting from Interlakens from whence
the spectator gazed upon that grand noun

through the vale of Lanterbrunnen to
Griudelwald, Lucerne, the st. Gothard
mass. the st. Bernard vale of Chamounix,
the Gemmi pass. tv Geneva. Chillon. Ter
matt, closing with the Matterhorn in its
different moods and varying lights. 1t may
truthfully be said that Switzerland Is one
of the most delightful of all the lectures in
Mr.. Stoddard's repertoire. The views are Of
more than usual beauty. and the changing
lights on the mountain peaks brought forth
the heartiest applause. One of the most
realistic was the representation Of the
chasm at Grindelwald, where the pastor of
the village church WAS lost. The ice forma-
lions were remarkably real.s and gazing at
them, while the gentle draughts of the.hall
f1oated through the spectators hair, one
could readily imagine himself in Switzer-
