Captain William Meyers
Denies Certain Statements About His Bark

Denies Certain Statements About His Bark
entine.
Capt. William Meyers, who is the manag-
ing owner Of the barkentine Mabel l. New
ers, and whose son is an owner in and
master of the ship, is indignant over the
following statement, which he says has been
published in a paper, not the Journal, and
sent to him anonymously:
"Barkentine Mabel l. Meyers, discharging
her cargo OF salt as National Dock into small
schooners for shipment to Gloucester and
other places. is largely owned by father
and son of the name carried by the vessel.
and are thrifty couple OF Yankees living
at Searsport, Me. Since the craft came in
from Turks Island the owners have not ex-
pended a cent to ship brokers, provision
dealers, chandlery stores, ETC., the business
end of the vessel being carefully looked after
, by the elder gentleman
ln conversation with journal reporter
yesterday, Capt. William Meyers said
although we do not expend cent on
brokers, provision dealers, chandlery stores,
etc, etc, according to the writer, we never
theiess, leave from $45O0 to $500 in the port
OF Boston every voyage we have made here,
and most certainly the vessel must be fitted
with all necessary seagoing stores from some
source.
Perhaps the writer would not care to
compare ton for ton, the money left by Eng
lish steamers with that we or any other
American sailing vessel leaves in port; if he
does. we imagine that he will not care to
make the result known.
"While in Bueuos Ayres. South America,
the last voyage, the report of the projected,
discriminative duty reached the port, and
producers made haste to secure all available
American tonnage, IN order 10 reap the bene-
fits OF this proposed duty. Freight was not
80 much OF ia ctor. But when the discrim-
NATIVE cloud passed, we were politely told,
with Others of the fleet, on our arrival in the
Brazil, that English steamers would carry
the sugar forward.
81 our Government in its legislation has
80 far forgotten us that English steam ton
mage is to be given preference, and Ameri-
can sail used as Jack in the pinch, it be-
comes necessary that we use all honest
means to lessen our expenses in order to
keep our vessel free from debt
"Although we are going along so economi-
cally, as the writer says, on my little vessel,
coming into the port of Boston with freight
OF 1450 tons, L have to pay, for sailing an
American bottom, through American waters,
into an American port, the sum Of 82O8.''
