The American ship John r. Kelly is
ashore on the Falkland Islands and will
probably be a total loss. A cablegram
to the Merchants Exchange gives the
bare fact that she was hard ashore at
Port Stanley and that the chances of
saving either the vessel or cargo were
very slight The belief among shipping
men is that the Kelly was disabled in
a storm off Cape Horn and that Captain
Chapman was making for Port Stanley
to repair damages. 1t is very dangerous
place to enter and the chances are that
something gave way at a critical moment
and the ship went ashore.

San Francisco on March Is last She

$15O,000 all consigned to San Francisco

The John r. Kelly was partially owned
in San Francisco. The firm of James F
chapman & Co. has owned an interest in
her since she was launched at Bath. Me
IN 1893. She was built by Goss & SAWYER
ana was as stout a craft as sailed the
seas. She was 256 feet 9 inches long, 45
Ieet beam, = feet inches deep and 2255
tons net burden. Her managing owner
was John r. Kelly OF Bath. Me. and
he valued her at $4,000. The vessels
cargo was consigned to Williams Dimond
q Co as distributing agents and the ship
to James f. Chapman & Co The cargo
IS insured and the vessel Is not but as the
Kelley has been very lucky ship she
during her lifetime.
The fourmasted steel schooner Homo
lulu is making a very long passage from
thirty-three days from Honolulu, and as
seventeen and nineteen days have been
long runs of late people are wondering
what has become of the crack schooner
The chances are that Captain Thonagel
has got away up north and cannot get
down again. For weeks the prevailing
winds have been northwest and the
schooner would fight her way north in
order to run down to San Francisco Now
the wind has been from the opposite di-
rection for several days and the schooner
is probably fighting her way back again.
Captain Thonagel Is more than anxious
to reach San Francisco, for as soon as he
arrives and enters his ship he is to start
for Scotland, The people who own the
Honolulu, Hawaiian Isle, John Ena and
half dozen other vessels. are contracting
in Scotland for two four-masted barken-
tines, and Captain Thonagel is going TO
superintend the building of them. The
new vessels are being built for the
Australian trade.
Captain Thonagel is not the only ship
master who is going to superintend the
building of a new ship, however. Captain
Dabel of the four-masted schooner Aloha
Is going to Bath. Me, to look after the
building of an American steel bark. She
will be American from truck to keelson
and will be built for speed combined with
