The Swedish bark Carl Won Doben,
Capt. Williams, which has been leaking
since she arrived in port some time ago,
will probably be hauled up on Willinks
Marine Railway tomorrow for general
repairs. 1t is understood other repairs
besides attention to the leak will be made
on the vessel, which it may require sew
eral days to finish. The vessel has been
unfortunate in many ways since she left
Baltimore for Savannah several weeks
ago to lead with naval stores at this
Tort Her crew became dissatisfied and
deserted before she left Baltimore, there
by causing considerable delay before an
other crew was shipped. On her arrival
here she was leaking, and has had her
windmill going since to keep free of wa
ter. Proceedings have been taken against
the vessel by the S. p. Shotter Company,
for whom she was to load naval stores,
and it is understood survey will be held
after she is hauled up on the ways.
The British Board of Trade has decided
to adopt The new form of continuous dis
charges for seamen. New certificates will
be introduced on and after Oct. l next,
in the case of all ships discharging their
crews before superintendent of mercan-
tile marine offices in the United Kingdom.
In order not to throw 100 much work
on these Offices and so cause delay to
ships, the continuous certificate will, in
the first instance, only be given to deck
hands; on Feb. l, 1901, they will be ex
tended to engine room hands; on April
l, 1901, to stewards, etc, and on June l.
1901 to certificated officers. After this last
mentioned date the continuous certificate
will be the only form approved by the
Board of Trade for use in the case OF
seamen discharged before a superintend-
ent.
A strike among dock laborers at Rot
terdam is becoming serious. Information
received by agents in this country of the
Neptune Line advised them that the
strike has almost entirely stopped the
loading of vessels. The steamers Runo
and Queen Wilhelmina, of the Baltimore
line, are held up by the strike, but The
agents are instructed that the Runo may
get off July 16, and the Queen Wilhelmina
on July 81, but nothing certain can be
stated for either vessel.
The United States steamer Blake which
has been for several days at the bar TAX
ing soundings. came up to the city yes
terday. She is commanded by Capt.
Hodgkins. This is the second time the
steamer has visited the city since she
was detailed to this port. 1t will be sew
eral days before soundings sufficient will
be taken for the report to be made on the
depth of water at the bar.
