SHIPPING ITEMS. The old schooner Golden
Rule has made her last voyage, a short one,
from one dock to another For some time
she has laid in Dyer's dock, taking in cargo
every flood tide and discharging it on the
ebb, but last week she was foated off the
beach and hauled into the dock south of the
storehouse of the Belfast Fuel & Hay Co.,
where she will be utilized as wharf The
Golden Rule was built at York, Me-, in 1s47,
her hailing port is st. George, and she is 100
tons net She might have been fitted for
sea and joined the stOne-carrying fleet, but
her owner, George A. Gilchrest, preferred to
use her in the manner described which will
give him additional and much needed room
for his ship building work. ...Sch. Maria
