STEAMER NOTES. For some time Capt
". d. Bennett has been looking for larger
and faster steamer to take the place of the
Golden Rod on the Bucksport and Camden
route, and although the trade has not been
closed it is thought he has found just the
boat wanted. She has steel hull, is over
100 feet long and can run II miles an hour.
Such boat will be able to go through quite
heavy ice and would be great protection
against a freeze up. The Boston boat was
delayed by fog on the trip down Friday
night and did not arrive here until after ii
a. m. Saturday. She arrived here on the
return trip before & p, m.
