er, if possible. The frame will be cut this
winter in Virginia. The last vessel launch
ed from this yard was the three masted
schooner Eliza j. Pendleton of 713 tons net
built for the Pendleton Bros in 1891, and
their return to the same yard after this lapse
of time shows that the work of Carter & Co.
has stood the test. Indeed, the irm has al
ways been noted for thorough workmanship
and the best of material When competition
arose as to who should build vessels the
cheapest the firm did not enter it, preferring
to rest on their well-earned laurels. Carter
u Co. is one of the Oldest ship building con-
Germs in Maine. In 1910 Columbia p Carter
was master workman on the brig Democrat
built above the upper bridge, Belfast, for j .
Y. McClintock; and in 1871 he formed the
firm of Carter & Co., having as partners
Erastus B. Stevenson, Samuel L. Sweetser
and V. r. Lancaster. Later members of the
firm were 81. II. Carter, j. c. Frye, E. E.
Frye, Thomas Carter, a. A. Carter, J. Y.
Cottrell and Everett S. Carter. The surviv-
ing members of the firm are Messrs. 81. H.

100 vessels of aggregate tonnage of 81

and one of them was finally accepted.
"Now. you'll want references, of
course, said the young wife after the
terms had been fixed. Then she men
toned the name of Washington man
of some prominence.
"You know him, or of him, l pre-
sume?" she inquired. HE is my hus-
bands uncle. -
"Well. replied the landlady, 81 can
not precisely say that know him. No
body ever really knew him. He's some
thing of a mystery. Now, 1 was mar
ried to him for - years, and at the
conclusion of that period, when | Sc

have conscientiously placed my hand
over my heart and declared that / actu-
