Side=wlleeler vs.. Propeller.

One of the best-known sea captains of
Eastern Maine is Captain NJ. W. Pierce of
Hampden, who commands the steamer Pc
noEscot of the B. & b. 5. S. Co.'S line be-
tween Boston and Bangor. Captain Pierce
expresses himself quite freely about the ac-
cident of the steamer Portland, and believes
that there must have been collision with
the King Philip or some other vessel. He
believes t at the Portland, which he consid-
'ers staunch vessel, could under normal
cond tons have ridden out the storm. He
says that side-wheeers are good sea boats,
and cites the case of the Katahdin of the Ban
gor line, of which he was pilot when she
rode out the terrible storm of January Z,
1856 Captain Pierce believes that that
storm was worse than the one which over
took the Portland and thinks that Captain
Blanchard, would have brought his boat
through safely had not some accident hap
pened. The boats of the Bangor line have
always been very staunch boats, and have
had excellent luck in difficult navigation, al
though they are side wheelers.

speedily. As the proposition emanates
from Germany, her approval. of
course, is assured This high COM
mission. it is felt, affords pacific
solution to the whole trouble at the
moment when Samoan affairs began to

The new plan has been fully gone

Still another important provision
under consideration is that King Os-
