HELD UP BY A TRAMP.
The Experience of Two Chelsea Lads Near
Lewiston.

The Sunday morning boat from Bos-
ton brought to Portland two lads, Joseph
Finocohiaro, aged II, and Joseph Lawlor,
aged 49, belonging in Chelsea. The boys
yesterday appeared at the police station
in this city and claimed that they left
Chelsea for little fishing and cunning
trip in Maine. They had with them gun
and revolver. The gun had.been taken
apart for convenience in carrying. They
thought they would go to Lewiston first
They footed it towards that city and
when they reached piece of woods, about
ten miles this side of Lewiston tramp
came out of the bushes, told them to
hold up their hands, took the cylinder
from the revolver, robbed them of 81. so,
all the money they had, two shirts, and
q pair of stockings, which were in their
gripsack. The lads say they didn't dare
to make a fuss as they could hear quite
a party of the tramps' companions whist
ling and singing in the woods near by.
After they were robbed they had seen
all of sporting life they desired, and re-
traced their steps to Portland.

OLD FOREST CITY.
She Babe Farewell to Portland People
Monday Morning.

Thirty Years in the Island Service
Launched on the Day Abraham Lin
coin Was Shot-A Boat Well-Known to
Island People.
Those around the harbor early MONDAY
morning saw the old,island steamer For
est City move away from the DOCK IN an
unwonted splendor of decorations. bunt-
ing was flying all over her, and the OLD,
familiar craft never appeared more gay
By when shes passed Bug Light she
did not take the old, familiar course to
Peaks Island-the course that she has
followed through the varying steamboat
fortunes OF thirty years. instead sne
headed for the ship channel, and soon
was seen headed-along the Cape shore
for the ocean highway.
The old craft had in truth hidden fare
well to Portland, and to the thousands
of people who she has borne on trips OF
pleasure or business in this. harbor
The Forest City was formerly the
Gazelle. She was built in 1865 by Will
liam Curtis in the old Curtis yard on the
cetoUGIA buOI6 rOl Ull6 Otoys OAAS ''OS
launched the very day that Abraham Lin
coin was shot. Mr.. Isaiah Daniels, the
well known steamboat man who mana
ges the Harpswell line, was one OF those
on board when she slid into the wa ter

her deck hands was very nervous man.
In hosting the ensign he got the union
down, and the flag was hoisted that way.
pointed out to him that we were fly
ing signal of distress, and remember
the nervous alacrity with which he pulled
down the flag and set it over"
But in spite of this ill-omemed event
at the launching, the Forest City has
had a successful experience. She was
run by Horatio Cook, now the boat
builder on Portland Pier, and Cyrus +.
Sands.
The steamer has had several owners,
and has been heightened once or twice.
Her name was changed to Forest City,
also. Mr.. John B. Curtis has owned her
for fifteen years or more
The Forest City was built for the island
travel. In the early days there were no
United States inspectors to trouble, and
all the passengers who could pile them
selves on board were taken.
An old steamboat man said yesterday
that the Forest City, in her thirty
years of service must have carried ESQ, 900
or million passengers.
The Forest City has been sold..to the
parties who run the City of Waterville
on the Saco River, of which William A.
Roberts is manager.
The Forest City was not the first of the
island steamers. Some Of the older citi-
zens remember the Antelope. Mr.. DAN
iels came into the harbor as a boy on a
coaster in 1851, and remembers that a
tiny steamer came alongside and offered
to tow them, much to the surprise Of the
coasters captain. This was the Antelope.
Then there was the old barge Comfort,
which was towed by the tugs Tiger and
Uncle Sam. Then there were various
other steamers that ran for longer or
shorter periods in the olden time.
This Forest City should be distin-
guished from the large Boston boat Forest
City, which was towed away several
months ago to be broken up.

was at the wheel, and we were bowling
along under nice, pretty sailing breeze.
There wasn't cloud to be seen, unless
little white vapor far off could be called
cloud. All of sudden the captain
came piling up out of his cabin. Get all
the light sails off her as quick as you
can, he shouted to the mate. 'Clew up
the royals and to'gallant sails, and bear
hand lively boys
g What's the matter with the old man
now?' said the sailors, as they looked
around the horizon and saw nothing but
sunshine and the clear sky.
'sNevertheless all hands turned to get
ting in the light sails. The captain took
the wheel and sent me to assist. OF
course we all thought it was piece of
foolishness, but we worked with will
because the Captain told us to.
'.Well, we had no sooner got those sails
in than it struck. Right out Of the clear
sky came an awful gale. Tt tore our
great lnainsail and other sails to ribbons
quicker than flash. 1t came but end
to- as the sailors say.
"How did the captain know it was
coming? Why, he was in his cabin and
happened to see his glass go down
suddenly. That meant something; and
he hustled on deck. A good captain
watches and his barometer as a cat
watches a mouse.
'That is the only white squall I ever
saw. I don't want to get caught out in
one with small boat"
