A MISSING SCHOONER.
The LoaIa and Crew Vanish from Portland
Harbor, Tuesday Night.

One of the most mysterious cases that
has ever occurred in this vicinity was the
general subject of conversation among the
local shipping men, late yesterday after
noon.
Occasionally a man drops out of sight
as completely as though the earth had
swallowed him. but when captain crew
and vessel vanish in the night and a dill
gent search fails to discover any trace of
them. it is little wonder that people begin
to look mystified and form all sorts OF
conjectures as to what may have hap
pened.
One day last week, the coasting schoon-
er l.oala came creeping into the harbor.
Nothing special was thought about the
matter, until it was learned that Captain
Amey, who was in charge of her. had
sailed the vessel here from Portsmouth
N. H., without any assistance whatever.
1t seems that Captain Amey's men de-
serted him at that port, and as the cap
tain said to a friend who inquired about
the matter: he would be id if he was
going to ship two crews and he conse-
quently took his chances on sailing the
vessel to Portland alone, and as there is
a Providence said to watch over two very
large classes in society, he arrived in
safety. as previously stated.
Captain Amey secured a crew here and
also obtained a charter through j. II.
Blake to carry a cargo of grain for a
Portland firm to Bangor, where he re-
sides.
The captain at once had his schooner
lowed over to the elevator wharf and
awaited his turn for the cargo. His turn
would have arrived, yesterday mornins
but when the time came the Loala was
missing and so was Captain Amey ana
his men.
The whole outfit had vanished during
the night and not the slightest clue was
left to indicate where it had gone. At
hrst 1t was supposed that during the gale
which came up. early yesterday morning.
the vessel had broken away from her
mornings and had drifted onto the flats.
1t did not take long to prove this suppo-
Sltion false. and then a general search
Tor the missing craft commenced
Every wharf was visited and the har-
Dor was swept time and again with a spy
glass, but all in vain. At nightfal the
searching party were compelled to admit
that the case utterly baffied them and
they had not the slightest idea as to
where Captain Amey had gone
1t does not seem at all likely that he
would start for his home il Bangor with
out a cargo when there Was orc waiting
Tor him to take to mat port and nohod V
can imagine where else he could have
gone.
If the vessel broke away from her
mornings and the captain was obliged to
run her down among the islands, ali
hands will probably turn up safe and
sound but if Captain Amey ran outside.
last night. and was caught in the fierce
gale there is very slight prospects that
either he or his crew will ever be hear d

An AGED DEER SLAYER.
EIahb.oas Years Old, but Gets His Quota
Of The Game.

A Millnocket dispatch to the Bangor
News relates the following:
There is a widely circulated idea that
nobody but able-bodied men should go
after the big game OF Maine. WhIe TINS
may be true in a majority OF cases, the
fact remains that aged men, crippies
and semi-invalids who are able 10 get
out of doors and can go mile or 50 from

law allows them to take, PROVIDED tney

place, who will be 81 years OLD mex,
month. secured his two deer last ran ana
got them back on the track OF the Ban
gor and AroostoOk Railroad during the
full moon of October.
York was a famous hunter in his dGy,
and having killed deer for more IMAM ou
years he knew their way, Ways the re sa ays . Also
carelessly curious and inquisitive. thus
making themselves an easy prey Iof
those who know their faiiings. uiltli Two
wears ago there was no railroad WITHIN
fifty miles of here. As soon as the new
road was bored into the wilderness herds
of deer began to come out on t'ie traS K
and paw among the fresh earth as II
irving to find OUT what sort of creature
n was that mate such an upheaval
While the roadbed was getting graded
the workmen shot many deer. ana aiIer
the rails were laid and the supply trains
began to run. the deer made the road be-
tween here and Grindstone their avenue
of travel when going or coming between
the east branch and west branch of the
Penobscot river BY and by the passen-
ger trains came on, and still the deer
used the railroad. preferring It to their
old paths through the woods. Two years
ago four or five deer were killed by pass
ing engines. and last year two more got
run over and were left in fragments be-
tween the rails.
Knowing of these peculiarities, York
walked along the track east of here last
year, and in five mornings he shot two
big bucks. He might have killed more,
limit. After the first week or two of
general slaughter along the banks of
ponds and streams the deer strike off in
land, where they remain quiet during the
day and feed after shutdown. Early in
the morning or after the sun has set they
make journeys between their sleeping
and feeding grounds. 1t was York 5
practice to get up early and steal along
the tracks until he could conceal himself
both directions. Here he would lie until
a deer came along. when his old muzzle-
loading rifle would do the rest. One
morning when an early express train was
hurrying down from Houlton. York saw
three deer come dashing down the track
twenty rods ahead of the engine. and
kept on through the woods until they
went out of sight behind curve. They
kept about SO far ahead of the engine
all the way. and though they had plenty
of good chances to leap into the woods
and gain immediate safety. not deer
showed any inclination to quit the track.
This year Mr. York has got a new mag
azine rifle and expects to secure his two
deer in the morning.
