Sch. Ethel B. Jacobs Lost.

News has been received of the total loss
on the coast of Ireland, where she was en-
gagged in macker ell fishing, of the crack fisher.
man Ethel B. Jacobs, Capt. Sol. Jacobs.
The crew were saved. The Ethel B. Jacobs
was we'll known from Hatteras to Labrador.
She was one of the most completely equip
ped fishing vessels on the Atlantic and her
sailing power was such that Captain Sol
seldom worried about the Canadian cruisers
guarding the three mile limit off the Nova
Scotia coast. Captain Jacobs was usually
the first to land the earliest mackerel catch
of the season. Last August he sailed for the
mackerel fishing grounds off the Irish coast,
but he was obliged to return home before
the close of the season on account Of the ILL
ness of his wife. The vessel was left in
charge of Capt. Cluett. The Jacobs was
built at Essex. Mass, in 1891 and registered
10S tons gross. With her outfit she was
valued at $4,000 and was insured for $1O,-
500.

Sale of the Flint Fleet.

1t is reported that Flint & Co. of New
York have sold their entire fleet of sailing
vessels to syndicate in San Francisco. The
vessels thus disposed of are twelve in num-
Der and include the May Flint, one of the
largest sailing vessels in the world; the
Henry E. Hyde, John Mcdonald, A. J. Full
ler, S. d. Carlton, Pactolus, r. d. Rice, St.
David, ST Francis ana st. James. The sum
involved is said to be more than 5000 900
Up to this time the Flint fleet has been the
largest sailing fleet under the American flag
except that owned by Arthur Sewall & Co.
of Bath, Me. Mr.. VIM. B. Flint says the
syndicate has bought the vessels with the
intention of contining..their future operations
to the Pacific. The packing industry IN
British Columbia and Alaska the coal md
lumber trade in British Columbia ana the
wheat output of California will be the chief
object of the business. The trade will be
carried on chiefly with Hawaii, China, Jap
an and The Philippines.
Flint < Co. decided, some time ago, in
future to contine their attention to steam
vessels. The firm organized the American
Haw aiian Steamship Company, which is to
operate between San Francisco and Hawaii
thus coming into competition with the
Oceanic Steamship Company, the Pacific
Mail Steamship Company the Oriental
Steamship Company, which is owned 10y
Japanese, and the Oriental and Occidental
Steamship Company, the vessels of all the
lines touching at Honolulu. The American,
Hawaiian Company has four steamships
building, one at San Francisco, and the
others at Chester, Pa, which will be com
pleted next spring.
