saved and landed at that port. The
vessel is supposed to be the German
steamer Francis, which was last
heard of as having sailed from Aux
caves on Jan. %. for Hamburg.
A new era in Philadelphia maritime
history will begin tomorrow with the
sailing from that port of the steam
ship Lyra with freight direct for ports
on the Pacific coast. This is the first
steamer to leave Philadelphia in the
Pacific trade, and is expected to be
the pioneer of the proposed new line
now being started by the Atlantic and
Pacitic Steamship Company.
The Lyra, which Is a screw steamer,
has been chartered by the new line
from the Boston and Philadelphia
Steamship Company of Boston, and
negotiations are pending for the char
ter of several more steamships, until
the Atlantic and Pacific Steamship
Company has a sufficient number to
iraugurate regular sailings. The YES
sells of the new line will call at Cali
fornia ports, and go as far north as
Seattle taking through freight at
much lower rates than now prevail to
those points from Philadelphia.
