THE OLD POLLY SOLD.
Aged 100 Years But Will Continue Ac-

Belfast. Me-, Aug. Capt. George Ryan
of this city, has sold the old schooner
Polly. built in 1905 and more or less ia
nous in Maine history, to Capt. Edward
Blastow Of Little Deer Isle. and Belfast
people will probably not have the pleasure
Of seeing her sail into the harbOr any
more, as she will be used between Little
Deer Isle and High island.
The Folly is just 100 years old, being
built in Amcsbury. Mass, in 1905. She is
of 4. tons burden 81 feet long and Is feet
beam.
There is story current that in the
early part OF the War of 1872 the Polly
was captured by the British with cargo
of rum and corn on board. The Yankee
crew was put in irons and the prize crew
aboard preached the cargo and proceeded
to get joyouSly drunk on the same. One
of the crew then got loose and freed his
companions. They recaptured the little
vessel and sailed triumphantly into Port
land with the prize crew in irons.
There are other yarns but this seems
to be the most thrilling.
