evidence of the terrible storm through
which the vessel has passed by Its bent
arms and torn sails.
AS nearly az Capt. Chandler could tell.
for he had not been able to get an obser-
walton for three days before the hurri-
came, he was In about longitude GO and
latitude 3s degrees 80 minutes when the
barkentine lost her fore mast, or nearly
two-thirds across the Gulf Stream.
Capt. Chandler is a good specimen of
typical American sailor. Although
he is far too modest to do any Dragging
of his skill in saving the barKentine,
it was evident from the condition of the
vessel that only his good judgement,
coolness, bravery and seamanship had
prevented the vessel from becoming a
total wre ok. Capt Chandler belongs In
South Portland and has sailed vessels
out of this port for great many years.
The cargo of the Golden Sheaf was
not very greatly damaged and only a
little of it was lost. Tie repairs on the
barker tine will be made at once and she
will proceed on her interrupted voyage
as soon as possible. ". S. Jordan is the
agent of the Golden Sheaf. and the yes.
sci is largely owned In this city.
