Palatka. Fla, and way landings. She
brought in large cargo of naval stores
from along the coast.
Mr. Henry F. Wilink viii leave to-day
on the steamer Alpha for the naval sta
ton, where he goes in the interest of the
underwriters to inspect the dredge Port
Royal, to decide if Il is practicable for her
to be lowed to Dry Tortugas to do tow
ing for the government.
The city quarantine tug Theckla is still
undergoing repairs to her machinery and
receiving a general overhauling. She will
be ready in a few days to again go in
commission.
There appears to be little doubt that
the schooner James NJ. Seamen, which
sailed from Apalachicola forty-two days
ago, has been lost at sea. Her owners, J.
b. Elliott & Co., of Boston. have given her
up for lost. 1t is believed that the I'M
known vessel seen with parts of her cargo
drifting for miles off Cape Henlopen in
February last was the Seamen. II is
supposed that the vessel foundered during
the great February storm.
