REMARKABLE DRY-LAND CRAFT
WHOSE BUILDER AND OWNER
+ is A NEGRO.
Chestertown, Nov. 16.-Lying at her !
moorings, in Southeast creek, an arm
OF Chester river, is the Bride, a
schooner which was repaired fully fifty
times before her keel ever touched the
water Her sails were tattered and torn
before she ever dashed a semblance OF
spray from her prettily modelled PROV,
and youth and old age were curously
comming,ed in the quaint-.ooking hul
before che ever set sail for her initial
voyage.
Culbreth King, a colcred man noted
for many pcculiarites, as a compare
lively young man conceived the idea
OF building boat. All unsssisted, he
cut the heavy timbers, the keel was
laid Of a vessel large enough for nagi-
eating the Chesapeake. A saw, axe
ard hammer constituted the outfit Of
tools. For nearly a quarter century
the work dragged on. Finally the
heavy masts were in place. but how
the solitary builder managed to raise
the weighty timbers no one ever knew.
Tlmbers decayed and were replaced,
and The replaced pieces in turn fell
into rottenness to have other pieces
take their place. Visitors came from
far and near to see the curious craft
as she gave way to the inroads Of de-
cay and grew in proportions beneath
the sheltering branches Of some scrub
by trees on the rivers bank. "Uncle
King" always cheerful and hopeful
never lost faith in the final result ol
his labors. Occasional work on the
farm Of his Old master furnished the
means to secure what nature Jailed tC
supply for the perfecting Of his boat
The cast-off sails and rigging 90 ;
u river schooner were strong enough ana
entirely satisfactory. Finally thu
name Bride" appeared on the boat
2 The story goes that a young woman
+ who visited the crude ehipyard enc
and made a deep impression upon tn
v patient builder by her kindly encour
u agement, suggested the pretty name.
Il Years had passed and at last tn
