The oyster steamer Isaac Il. Brown
of Far Haven, while on the trip from
this port to Narragansett bay, had a
decidedly rough experience. The boat
Is commanded by Captain Frank
Brown. son Of Captain Isaac e. Brown,
the well known oyster dealer. The
Brown left Fair Haven week ago yes
terday and nearly every day since 1T
has blown gale of wind. The boat
got as far as New London, and 1t was
so rough it was decided to make thai
harbor. The next day Captain Brown
put to sea hoping to make Narragan-
sett bay, but he was disappointed, for
the big gale precluded the idea of at
tempting to round Watch Hill point and
harbor was made at Stonington. The
next day (Frlday), although 1T was still
blowing Captain Brown put to sea
again. He is a venturesome sailor, for
few would have put to sea in such
gale, with the idea of making Watch
Hill and Point Judith. 1t was rough
piece of water from Stonington to Mar
ragansett bay but the Brown is an able
boat and she came through all right, al
though her deck were repeatedly wash
ed. Captain Browns father and Major
Luzerne Ludington were standing on
the Rocky Point wharf when the
steamer hove in sight away down the
bay They wondered what steamer had
ventured out, for no other steamer or
sail craft was in sight. Finally the
craft was made out to be the Brown.
Gracious" said Captain I. e. Brown,
II don't see what made that boy ven
tufe out in such gale. He might have
known it was too rough a gale to be
out in" But the boat made the trip all
right. On Tuesday the steamer was
working on the oyster beds in Nara
gansett bay and the captain wrote that
1t was the worst day in his experience
The seas boarded the boat, stove in the
cabin doors and washed all the deck
boards overheard. The steamer will
leave to-day for Fair Haven.
