She Was the Three Masted Schooner
Benjamin 7. Bigg.
Attempt to Tow Her
Into Port Failed.
She Was Laden With Lumber
and Badly Used Up.

The Tynedale, Capt. @. Robson of the
Thomson line, arrived yesterday having
left Newcastle on the Tyne, June 20.
The captain was resting yesterday after
noon after his hard experience of the
night before, but Chief Officer Pringle
was seen by reporter Of the PRESS and
said that the trip was for the most part
uneventful, the exception being the
rough time the crew had Saturday in
trying to bring into port an abandoned
vessel.
When about 100 miles from Portland
the three masted schooner Benjamin Z.
Biggs of Exeter, New Brunswick, was
picked up. She was loaded with lumber
and had been completely quilted of about
everything except her cargo. Her main
mast was swaying backward and for
ward and likely to fall at any moment.
The two other masts seemed to be stand
ing all right and her sails were all gone
excep5 the foresail and that was after
wards cut away by one of the officers of
the Tynedalo.
1t was about O'Clock Saturday night
when the captain of the steamer sent his
chief officer, boatswain and two men in
one of the steamers boats to the aban-
doned vessel with view of taking her
in tow. When the crew got on board to
adjust the rope they found nothing of
value; sails, blocks, dead lights were
gone; bulwarks had been stove in, there
was nothing to fix the identity of the
crew as the cabin had been completely
stripped
The vessel was waterlogged and moth
ing but her cargo of lumber kept her
from sinking and the steamers crew
had to work in water up to their waists
with high sea breaking over the decks.
After the rope was fixed the steamer
started for Portland with the schooner
and was making good headway until
about 10 80 clock when the rope broke.
1t was necessary then to put out two
ropes and things went well with them
until O'Clock Sunday morning when
about seven miles from Matinicus rock
and about 60 miles from the city the two
ropes broke and the schooner had to be
left to her fate.
When the officers of the steamer got
their last look at the schooner fishing
vessel had pulled up alongside and Chief
Officer Pringle expressed the opinion
that with the southerly wind that was
blowing it was more than likely that the
schooner would be carried ashore.
The warm weather of yesterday favored
island travel and Commercial street was
alive all day with crowds of people who
were vending their way to the several
islands steamers.
The CASIO Bay line was kept busy
handling passengers and the boats on
many of their trips carried the full regu-
lation allowed.
The attractions offered at Greenwood
Garden by Manager Rounds of the Alice
Howard drew big crowds and his boat
had all she could do, and at times more
too, to convey the patrons of this line.
There were two special excursions
which were well patronized. The Pejep-
scot took down about 300 people to Orr's
Island and New Meadow river, while
about the same number went to Merry.
meeting park on the Forest Queen.
The steam yacht Harriet and the AnagC
of Boston, both trim looking craft
nchored in the harbor yesterday.

Reply to ar. E. Porter

Special Correspondence OF The Argus.
We noticed an article in the last issue of
your paper headed San Uuconlested Con-
test, = under the non dc plume of ar L.
Porter" in which the writer proves himself
as ignorant as an OK, or barc.faced liar.
In fact the only bit of truth the article con-
tanned was that the teacher from Buffalo did
openly challenge the Whctsell school for a
contest IN misunderstanding, singing and
general debate, TO be held at Whetscll school
house on January 20, 1900, and stated
clearly that il the weather was inclement.
Buffalo would not be present, as some of the
pupils would have TO come the distance of
four miles over very cold road. And I
can say night here, without fear of contradic-
ton, that the above date was one of the
coolest and stormiest days that we have had
this winter. In fact the night was so rough
that the foxes didn't travel. And besides.
Mr.. Fowler the young Ohian, but we will
say right here that the fact of his being a
"Buckeyc' does not unneryc either me or
my school, who are native citizens Of the
little Mountain State and arc proud of it,,
from meeting either him or his school in a
literary contest al any time or convenient
place personally acknowledged TO me that
he nor any Of his school expected Buffalo to
be present on account of The iuclemcncy Of
the weather
As to the whoopiug cough, we had it per.
sonally from Mr.. d. l. WhclselI, who is a
patron and trustee Of Whctsen school and
other reliable persons, who know whereof
they speak, that there was two cases of
whooping cough in the school and those two
pupils were placed on the program and
would not be removed. We expressed our
willingness TO meet the Whetsell school ON
next literary night if the weather was elem.
eni, but they wholly ignored our challenge,
and the facts are just this. II is the young
"Buckeye' and his school who are unneryed
and are backing down, and not the Buffalo.

We have it personally from the youne
pedagogue that their programe consisted,
all told, Of only about eight Rotations
