i'll northern waters. All along the
northern Atlantic coast are towns of
which Bucksport is typical and the
story of their vanished industry is In
terwoven with that of the decline OF
the American merchant marine.
Peary's ship is being built near the
point where the first ship ever launch
ed upon the Penobscot river was put
together. Old residents of the town
tell of the days when a dozen ship
yards gave employment to hundreds of
men engaged in the construction of
vessels. Bucksport was settled in
1854 and in 1870 Colonel Jonathan
Buck was building ships there and for
the next leading industry of the place.
a large portion of the wealth of the
village was invested in navigation,
and, at one time, besides the vessels
in the foreign and coasting trade,
about 1000 tons of shipping were en-
ployed in the bank fisheries. On
board of these vessels a host of young
men were educated to make intelligent,
active seamen, and many of them rose
10 the quarterback of the best ships.
After the civil war, with the decline
of the American marine in the foreign
trade, Bucksport's shipbuilding indus
try languished and finally seemed TO

have died altogether. 1t might have
been supposed that the shipwrights
would have lost their cunning and for.
gotten the trade which had made their
fathers prosperous, but the manner IN
which activity has been restored in the
only shipyard now in operation here is
a striking illustration of what Ameri-
can enterprise and skill can accom-
rlish when afforded the opportunity.

eests the thought that all the romance

is a translucent metal, white or yell
lowish in color, and somewhat re-
sembling ice in appearance. In fact,
the name is derived from the Greek
words for ice and stone. Cryolite is
extensively used in the manufacture of
soap, soda. aluminium sulphate, alum
and cryolite glass. Until superseded
by bauxite it was the chief source
from which aluminium was obtained.
The cryolite industry in this country
centers in Philadelphia and in its
prosecution an American shipmaster
las played an important part. Captain
Charles 8. Dix went into the business
years ago, making trips to the inhos.
pitable Greenland shores to return
with cargoes of the precious stone
ice" Later the firm of Mckay G. Dix.
which is now constructing the Peary
ship, was formed and built a fleet of
vessels for this perilous trade. Cap
tain Dix. a native of Milne. was of
course familiar with the shipbuilding
resources of the state and when in
1900 his firm wanted a location for
new yard. he selected Bucksport as the
site of the enterprise. Two vessels
for the cryolite trade were at oncs
built there.
Familiar with the perils of naviga-
ton in Greenland waters, Captain Dix
constructed these vessels especially
staunch and sturdy that they might the
better withstand the bite of the ice.
Even then, the Thallium, four-masted
schooner of SOC tons net. became a
prey to the great force of the white
felds and was lost, although the ship's
company escaped. Captain Dix. IN

Dr. Patton, the famous Princeton
theologian, while travelling recently BIZ
rail, called the porter to bring him
table of some sort. As the colored
official disappeared the reverend
doctor took from his valise a bundle
OF papers preparatory to sorting them.
Inc porter returned at once, eyed the
noc'or knowingly and finally sought
the end of the car. When he came
back, so the story goes. he carried
with him bottle. a glass and a de-
canter.
What's this?" said the reveren
gentleman
The porter grinned from ear to ear

the hull is not enough to ensure safety.
1t must be made as strong as material
and skill permit. To secure this re-
suit, only the toughest of wood is used.
in the Peary ship, the stern, stern-post,
keels, keelson and frames are of care
fully selected white oak. The massive
frames will be only two feet apart from
center to center, and they will be en-
closed in a cage of steel made of
diagonal straps and covering the inner
fabric of the ship from stem to stern.
Over the straps will be a double course
of five-inch planking of yellow pine
and white oak, and between these two
courses will be tarred hemp or tarred
canvas. guard strake of white oak
surrounds the vessel at the level of
the main deck, projecting outward for
such a distance that when the ice
presses against her sides and is forced
upward by the resistance, the ship will
actually rest upon the guard strake.
More than that, should she be frozen
in, it would be possible to break the
grip of the ice by the use of hydraulic
ally, so important part of the vessels
protection is securely fastened to the
| hull and in addition it is strengthened
! by an angle bar of steel on it's under
side.
Equally foreign to the method of
constructing vessel of ordinary model
is the system by which the hull is to
be further strengthened. The interior
of the ship will be almost completely

at the center of the decks, these braces

they may be removed and set up on

rugged as three masted schooner
with an exceptionally large spread of
canvas and will also be provided with
steam power. She will be of about
1900 tons and will be ready for serv-
ice early next summer. II is the eX-
plorer's plan to go in the vessel to the
northern shore of Grant land. winter
there and make his dash for the Pole
during the following summer.
In Bucksport and all the region
round about live families whose his.
tory is closely connected with ship
ping. When American vessels carried
the fag to all parts of the world, this
town was the site of many shpyards
and the sons of the men who built
and sailed these vessels are taking
sreat interest in the progress of the

stores and the ancient inn which has
