Local and General News of Ships
and Shipping.
There are occasional meetings along
the river front of friends, and in some
cases relatives, from parts of the world
which make the meetings great sur
prises. Earnest Schwarz, the ship
runner, had this experience yesterday
upon Unexpectedly meeting an old
schoolmate, Carl Wenken, second Off
Ger of the Norwegian bark sorata.
Wenken and Schwarz lived neighbors
in Bremen when lads, and their meet
ing gave them decided pleasure.
For the week ending May the Blu
reau of Navigation assigned official
numbers and signal letters to IL sailing
vessels, gross tonnage 2,495; "A steam
vessels, gross tonnage H. 42; Z unrig-
ged vessels, gross tonnage 2,106.
The steamer Monroe, the latest addi-
ton to the Old Dominion Lines feet
between New York and Norfolk and
Newport News, is undergoing extern
sive alterations. The Monroe was
launched at Newport News on Oct. Is,
1902, but 1t was found that the matches
and other parts of the vessel were
heavier than necessary. 1t is expected
the vessel will resume her trips in
June.
A dispatch from Brunswick reports
that the Uruguayan bark Sara, bound
for Valencia, with a cargo of lumber,
parted her cable while at anchor in a
squall and grounded on Jekyl Island.
After being aground two hours the
vessel was foated apparently unin-
jured.
Sailings are in the large majority of
late. and as a result the fleet in port
steadily becomes smaller. Few vessels
have arrived during the past week.
