Marine Notes.
Judge Webb. Monday. extended the
time limit for filing bonds in the cases
against the Portland Steamship Co for
the loss of the Portland from May l
to May 10. There are now but two at
torneys interested The original 200
possible suits and the S. actually
brought have been reduced to two, and
there are grave doubts whether a sin
gle case will be contested
Judge Wiswell of the Cumberland SUI
preme court, reserved his decision.
Monday, in a peculiar case. 1t was a
petition in equity by Capt. Benjamin
F. Woodbury. of Portland, a member
of the Portland Marine Society, who
seeks to recover from its treasurer 1925.
The society is the Oldest in Maine if
not in New England. Its membership
is made up of active and retired mari
vat ,,,I Z. 1,
persons. In 1894. while the late Charles
Fl. Chase was its president the MEM
bcrship had become reduced, and but
little interest was taken in its meet
ings. Under Ouch circumstances Capt
Chase and other active members de-
cded to hold banquet. and did so.
The present 1ourishins condition of the
society dates, it Is claimed, from that
event. Capt Woodbury. objected To
having the bills for the banquet paid
by the society and the present proceed
ings were brought to compel the treas
urer TO refund to the society the money
the banquet cost. The society claims
that the expenditure was fully justified
by the condition of the organization,
and that it was profita bic investment
Judge Wiswell heard both sides, took

steamer Nimrod arrived here, today
from the Gulf of st. Lawrence, with
5000 seals. The coasting schooner Mar
garet was crushed in the ice off st.
