October Weather.
The Record Broken for High Temperature, and
then the Mercury took Tumble.


The past week gave us a great VARIETY of
weather, including two very warm days
followed by very cold day with high wind.
Thursday, Oct. 14th, was fine October day.
Mr.. L. H. Murch's thermometer standing at
4So, $50 and 500 at morning, noon and even
ing, respectively. Friday the figures were,
540, 74o and 62o, but the mercury reached
800 at 80 p. m. Saturday was still warmer,
Mr., Murch recording 600, 7So and 100, but
with the mercury reaching 800 at 23O. This
was the highest October temperature ever
recorded by Mr.. Murch. Oct. l. 1879, the
thermometer reached 500 at noon, but that
was two weeks earlier in the year No other
October record has approached it. At 8
o'clock Saturday night the thermometer was
still up to 72o, but an hour or so later a
heavy north west wind struck and the ther-
mometer fell rapidly, reaching 44o at 7
O'Clock Sunday morning. The wind blew a
gale from the time it first struck until
late Sunday afternoon, and Sunday was
one of the toughest days ever seen in
Belfast bay with an off shore wind. When
the wind first struck there was con-
siderable rain and some thunder and light
ming Sunday forenoon the schooner Paul
Seavey, moored above the railroad wharf,
dragged her anchor and drifted down along
side the schooner Earl P. Mason, which Law
at the wharf, where she was secured with
out damage. The steamer Castine arrived
from Bangor about II o'clock Sunday fore
noon with the Belfast chorus excursionists.
They had very rough passage after pass
ing Fort Point, the spray often passing over
the smoke-stack. Persons standing on the
shore here could plainly see the waves
break on Turtle Head seven miles away.
Telegraph and telephone connections were
cut off all day. Limbs were broken from
shade trees, blinds torn from their fasten-
ings and other minor damage done.
The heat on Friday and Saturday was
general throughout New England. Friday
was the warmest October day since the
Weather Bureau has kept record of Port
land weather The official thermometer
registered S4 degrees. Saturday was practi-
cally as warm, the thermometer recording
S37
Friday was the hottest day for the period
between the 18th and Goth of the month since
the signal station was established at Boston
in 1870. The maximum temperature reach
ed was $50, the N ercury standing at
this height at o clock, soon after which it
began to grow slightly cooler. The temper
ature in Boston at o'clock Saturday morn
ing was q degrees, at o'clock, Is degrees
at 10 o'clock, over so degrees.

Yachts and Boats.

Capt. VIM. F. Welch has hauled out his
schooner, the Eliza Mary, in Goose River.
Some have wondered as to the meaning of
the name of the little steamer recently
bought by the Decrows-Cochse. 1t is the
name of a chief of the Apache tribe of In
dians.
The sloop yacht Indra, built this year by
Mr.. G. F. Brown, and owned by W. S. Hail,
Esq. of Boston arrived at Pulpit Harbor last
Saturday where she will be hauled up for
the winter The Indra won silver cup in
a series of races at Marblehead last month.
Saturday Messrs. Will and Walter Decrow,
Tom Carter and Will Sawtele left il the
yacht Glide for ducking trip down the bay.
They got no ducks but fortunately escaped a
ducking. When the storm came on Saturday
night they were in snug harbor at the
Barred Islands and remained there until the
gale blew out, arriving home Monday morn
ing. They report it very rough down the
bay.
Jacob Loring of Rockland contracted last
week with Maynard X. Dalton of Massachll-
setts and r. A. Sanchez of Florida for the
construction of schooner yacht 10 feet over
all, Is feet beam, and feet deep. The craft
will have flush deck and cabin equipped
with six berths. She will be yawl rugged
with mainmast 25 feet and foremast Al
feet. The keel will be of iron and weigh
two tons Nothing but the best of material
is to enter into the construction, the frame
and planking being OF best quality oak. The
contract calls for the yachts completion
four weeks from last Monday, rigged com
plete. She will be used along the Florida
coast in the search for curiosities and also tc
take out excursion parties. Capt. Sanchez
will be recalled as at this port few years
ago in what was known as the 'shel
schooner" selling shells and other marine
curios. The schooner was wrecked later OF
