Capt Thompson Of the tug Enterprise
Of Baltimore has reported "a dangerous

spars of a sunken schooner are on the
surface, attached below to the wreck

about it. Capt. Thompson says it is
the second time he has seen the wreck
age Capt. Mitchell of the steamer De
lano, at Baltimore, from Rotterdam, saw
a vessels spar on July 3, in latitude 80 "A,
longitude p IS. il was about thirty feet
long and three feet in diameter.
That's a fast sailing vessel OF Capt.
Quincy s." remarked a friend of the pop
ular master of the barkentine Bruce
Hawkins yesterday "She sailed from
Savannah last Saturday for Boston, and
passed Highland light at the entrance Of
Boston harbor, on Wednesday. The time
is seldom beaten"
There's a story told about Capt Cur
neys first voyage in the Bruce Hawkins"
ne continued, and this is how it was.
The captain had been sailing schOoners
all his life, and was not fully acquainted
with the working of cross-yards. He
sailed from Boston on his trip for Cuba.
The wind blew gale down the coast and
the vessel made a record breaker arriv-
ing at her destination in about seven
days The owners wrote to the master a
congratulatory letter and told him to
keep up the good work. The yes
sci was discharged and reloaded
and sailed In few days on return for
Boston. The fine, fair wind still blew
along the coast, but I'm the wrong direc-
ton to suit the new record breaking bark
entine. Days and weeks passed, and the
head winds continued, while the vessel
managed to slowly beat her way along
the coast, gaining point or two, only
TO ne ICSl again. AFTER something over
one hundred days the wind shifted and
the gallant bark reached her destination
a short time after. 1t is told of the cap
tain that his inexperience in square-rigged
vessels caused his trouble. He did not
pay much attention to the yards in tack
ing, and they got 'in irons" which kept
her from gaining on either tack. Capt
Quincy has never made mistake like
that since"
That's a likely yarn you tell on your
friend, remarked the Retired Mariner
who overheard the story Il knew of
gallant young sailor who had just been
appointed to the command of a vessel
and was ordered from Boston to Cuba
He bought a new outfit of clothing and
| haberdashery. After sailing out Of Bos-
ton harbor one of those new tangled CIV
clonic breezes that box the compass sew
eral times in day struck the ship The
compass got mixed up and out of gear
the sails got lin irons" and the young
enthusiastic captain left everything in the
hands of the mates He had not discov-
cred that there was anything seriously
wrong with the compass, and when land
was sighted in about five days he was
sure that it was the land of the insur-
gents, and he quickly repaired to his cab
in, where he donned a white duck suit of
clothes, a wide brim straw hat and a
flowing necktie, and walked on deck only
TO be greeted by New England snow
storm as the vessel sailed back into Bos-
ton harbor."
zen. james "A. luAlAOuls supervising IN
spector general of the steamboat inspec-
ton service, has issued an order directing
inspectors of steam vessels not to accept
or pass any life-raft or lifeboat for use
on steam vessels unless there shall be
furnished with each a written guarantee
by TIE builder that such raft or boat is
constructed in strict accordance with the
specifications presented to the board Of
supervising inspectors at the time of its
approval. 1t is also ordered that on ana
after Aug. l, 1896, no life-raft or lifeboar
shall be accepted or passed unless it shall
have permanently attached thereto a me-
tallic plate having thereon in raised let
ters or figures the name of the maker
the place where manufactured the sho,,
! number and the date of manufacture
land if built of metal the thickness
thereof shall be Birmingham gauge" This
order is due to the discovery that certain
steam vessels are carrying lifeboats not
built in accordance with the law laid down
for their construction.
