Shipments OF Cumberland coal from the
pier at Georgetown to Boston or some other
port In New England are becoming quite
heavy, and 1t Is stated will continue to be
so throughout the season If vessels can
be had to load. Besides the big seagong
barges of the Consolidation Coal Company
schooners which unloaded ice here are
loading soft coal at Georgetown, and will
take it TO ports in the north. The schooner
Charles w. Church took aboard about LOO
tons of the fuel and completing her cargo
Is now on her way to the north with it.
Yesterday the schooner Ralph M. Harvard
completed the discharging of her cargo
OF Ice and was taken to Georgetown by
the tug D. M. Key and will today start
taking aboard a cargo of several hundred
tons of the fuel for Boston. 1t is under
stood that several of the large schooner
barges are to come here shortly for coal
to be taken to New England. Ten or twelve
years ago 1t was not an uncommon sight
to see six or eight large schooners lying
at the Georgetown wharyes, and as many
more at Alexandria for loads of coal destin-
ed for the large cities on the coast.
