 There was trouble on the steam schoon- CT Jewel before she got away for Caspar. and in consequence a new force of en- gineers sailed on her. The boilers of the steam schooner are not in the very best condition, and the chief engineer so re- ported to the Inspectors of Hulls and Boilers.
 This he is compelled to do by law for should anything happen every engineer would lose his license. The Jewel was ex- down to ninety pounds. The owners heard that the reduction In steam power was due to the engineers on the vessel and sthey at once gave all those gentlemen their walking tickets and put new men in their places. The owners of the Jewel know that theire vessel wants new boilers and. set has been completed and IS ready to be put in, but the time cannot be spared to do the work. It is probable that the vessel will be laid up in month or so and overhauled.
