EMILY r. N0RTHAM
SOLD TO M0NCToN FIRM.
To BE Repaired Here and Continue

To BE Repaired Here and Continue
in COastwise Lumber Trade.
The Emily F. Northam, which was
sold at public cutlery about a month
ago and secured by Capt. Jacob Paul
sen and subsequently changed hands
to the Paulsen Company, has again
been sold. is to be repaired and re-
I fitted here and when completed will
probably engage in the coastwise lum-
ber-carrying trade as formerly.
Negotiations for the purchase of the
schooner have been going on for some
time between various Northern con-
Germs and the Savannah owners, and
yesterday morning the offer of the
Sumner Company, of Moncton, N. b..
was accepted. The purchase price is
said to be $4,000. The buyers have noti-
fed the Savannah firm making the
sale that Capt. Read will take charge
Of the vessel Jan. l and will repair and
refit her here.
The Northam was formerly owned
by Thomas Winsmore of Philadelphia
and was in the lumber carrying trade
on the coast While making a trip
from Georgetown to New York with
cargo she was badly damaged by rough
weather and becoming untenable was
abandoned by her crew, who first set
fire to the vessel to prevent it becom-
ing a menace to navigation
The burning schooner was discov-
cred by the tug w. F. McCauley off
Frying Pan Shoals was taken in tow
after the flames had been extinguished
and brought to this port. By an agree
ment between the underwriters. own
ers and the Propeller Towboat Com
pany as salvors the cargo was sold
privately, and later the vessel itself
at public cutlery.
The vessel is of $40 tons burden, is
built of oak and, for her tonnage. has
an unusually large carrying capacity.

Chief Ones.
Within a short time, according to the
present expectations of those interested
in the plan, Savannah will have first
class ship building plant at which,
craft of all kinds from schooners, banks
and other vessels of 500 tons and over
down to lighters, in fact every kind
of vessel than can be profitably built
of wood will be turned out on de-
mand. The new enterprise will be con-
Quoted by the Paulsen Company, which
will not only build and repair vessels,
but buy and charter them as WELL
Plans for the new business have
been under way for some time, and
are now so nearly completed that ac-
tual work at the plant will be started,
it is said, within the very near future.
The site for the plant has been secured
on Hutchinson's Island, about opposite
the Central of Georgia terminals.
Savannah's Advantages.
A member of the company, speaking
of the enterprise yesterday, said that
there is every reason why a port stu
ated so advantageously as is Savannah
should have a plant of this sort, and
he oil ~ fx,ai11 to ole ,Af
vessels in competition with any similar
plant, no matter where located. AS a
matter of fact most of the vessels now
engaged in the coastwise trade are
built in the North Atlantic and New
England states, but over these Savan-
nah would have many advantages.
In the first place the yellow pine of
which the majority of the vessels are
built is shipped chiefly from this Sec
ton and could be secured by a local
plant cheaper than it can be had in
the North because of the cheaper trans
portation charges if for no other rea-
son. The same holds good of the live
oak lumber needed.
Longer Season for Work.
Again because all of the work done
on vessels while out in the open this
climate offers decided advantages over
those of the more northerly states, in
that workmen can be out doors at
least nine months of the year, while
further up the coast the period is linn
tied to six months or a little over 1t
is. stated, too. that there need be no
scarcity of skilled labor. for this can
be obtained whenever steady work can
be offered. The Paulsen Company is
now having a schooner of $50 tons
built at Mystic. Conn. The vessel has
not yet been named.

STORIES OF FISHERMEN
tconsiaued from Page One.

What would you have done" asked one of the burly fishermen amidst laughter.
 pr. woodhouse replied that he was not a skipper of a trawIer
 A sugeon of the North Sea Hospital ship Alpha was the last witness and brought out the rather important statement that all the Alpha's lights were extinguished soon after the fire commenced.
 The inquiry was then adjourned.
 The commissioners showed satisfae- ton at the progress made. It Is hoped that all the testimony regarding the cause of the shooting will be con- cluded by the afternoon of November 17. Cases of presonal injury will then be taken up.
 To Assess Damages.
 They are expected to be finished by November IS when the venue will be changed to London where the assess ment of material admage will he com. menced. This Is likely to prove the most intricate part of the inquiry As intimated today an effort will be made to establish broad claims for indirect compensation on account of the disin- tegration of the trawling industry con- sequent on the Dogger Bank affair.
 Dr. woodhouse, who is a local so- iicitor. only today received telesraphic instruction to be present. the Russian Embassy having previously informed the Russian consul here that repro. sentation was unnecessary.
 The Embassy has not given detailed instructions and unless such instrucA ton are received no witnesses will be called in rebuttal or in behalf of Rus- sia. pr. woodhouse holds a merely watching brief. Neither he nor the Russian consul here are in possession of any evidence tending to prove that Japanese torpedo boats were in the neighborhood of Dogger Bank or that Japaneses exercised any influence up- on the fishing fleet.
 Both Admiral Bridge and Mir. As- pinall, who are conducting the inquiry on the most impartial lines, indicated by questions that the trawler which separated frcm the trawier fleet might possibly have been taken for torpedo boat by the Russians.
 A suggestion by the Russian consul that the shelling was due to the fail ure of trawlsrs to stop when blank shots were fired and the fact that the lights were eXtinguished on at least one trawlor is considered here to in some degree explain though not to ex- cuse the attack of the Russians.
