Robinson OF Bangor took his place. The
schooner sailed Thursday. Considerable
interest is felt here in the fate of sch. Julia
Baker, Bangor for Providence with lumber,
reported last week at Port Clyde in an un-
seaworthy condition. When she put in here
to stop leak her regular captain was Sick
threatened with a fever, and had to turn
the vessel over to another man. The Julia
Baker is 1O2 tons net, was built at BOothbay
in 1860 and halls from Bucksport. .Schs.
Della T. Carleton and Ella May have char
tered to load stone at Halls Quarry, Somes'
Sound, for New York. ..... Sch Loduskia
brought cargo of coal to Providence, and
sailed from that port, light, for Bangor to
load lumber for New York. She arrived
here Aug. 23d, and sailed for Bangor Satur-
day. Sch. Susie II. Davidson, a recent adj
dition to the Pendleton Bros. fleet, arrived
last week for repairs. She was built at
Camden, N j., in 1888 and is 1872 tons net.
She was taken out on Gilchrest's marine
railway Monday.
STEAMER NOTES. The steamer Penob-
scot will be withdrawn from service on the
Kennebec division on her arrival in Boston
Saturday, Sept. Sth. and the Ransom b.
Fuller will thereafter make three trips a
week between the Kennebec and Boston.
The last Sunday trip of the season will be
on Sunday, Sept End. Since the steamer
Rockland on the Bucksport and Camden
route added Stockton Springs to her land
ings it has made some difference in her time
schedule, and now she is to coal at Bucks
port, where she lays over night, and thus
save the time used in coaling here. The
Bangor excursion steamer Bristol has had
hard luck Aug. 22nd, when on the trip
from Bangor to Northport with 125 passen-
gers, she got off her course in thick fog
and struck On Squaw Point reef at the en-
trance of Stockton harbor. 1t was ebb tide
and the boat remained hard and fast. The
passengers were landed at kidder's Point
dock and returned to Bangor by rail. The
steamer lighter Reliance later went to the
assistance of the Bristol and towed her to
Cape .JelliSon pier. The Bristol was not
damaged and returned to Bangor. Later it
was found necessary because of injuries to
her boiler to haul the Bristol off for repairs,
much to the disappointment of those who
had planned to go to Northport on her
last week. 1t is said to be doubtful if she
resumes her excursion trips this year The
steamer NJ. & NJ, recently bought by the
Penobscot Bay II River Steamboat Co., is to
have new engines and machinery installed
and she will be placed in commission in the
near future under the name OF Stockton.
The Bangor Commercial says the announce
ment has been made by one of the owners
of the steamer Castine that she will be sue
ceeded next season by a larger and faster
excursion steamer for business in the lower
bay. 1t is planned to build the new craft
the coming winter and have her ready for
service in the spring. The new boat will
be wider but of d sharper model and 100
feet OF more in length. The Castine will
probably be sold. -. The Rock land will go
through to Bangor next Saturday afternoon,
and Sunday she will make her last excursion
out of Bangor down the bay, going to TEN
pie Heights.
