Timely Rescue by Steamship St.
Dunstan of Schooner Nesta-Of In
terest to Seamen.
The schooner M. A. Baston, Captain
Carter, arrived yesterday from fish
ing trip along the Florida coast. She
is locked at the foot of Barnard street.
She has large load of red snappers
and other fish which will be disposed
of in the local market.
The Baston was formerly in COM
mand of CAPTAIN Morgan, the genial
little seaman so well known in local
shipping circles. 1t will be remembered
that during the recent severe gale off
the New England coast Morgan was
swept overheard while at the wheel,
with another man, who was also at
work aft. During his visits to Savan-
nah CAPTAIN Morgan made a number
of warm friends, and the news of his
death was received here with sincere
regret. The Baston will dispose of her
cargo of snappers, after which she will
either return South or proceed North
to again engage in cod fishing off the
New England coast. The present trip
to the snapper waters was not an en-
tirely successful one, owing to the in
clement weather that prevailed during
all time the schooner was at work.
Heavy winds and rough seas were de-
cidedly against a successful fishing
trip.
