LONG VOYAGE ENDED.
Schooner Montague Completes Trip Of
Thirty-Three DAVIS.

The three masted schooner Helen Mon
tague was brought into port yesterday
afternoon by the tug Camilla and berthed
at the wharf at the foot of 18th street,
completing voyage from ST. John
IN. b. port that required thirty-three
days. The master of the schooner calls it
a most exasperating voyage. He has. he
says made runs from New York to South
American ports a number of times in the
Montague in a little over third the time
it required to complete the recent trip.
From the time he left port until he passed
in the capes of the Chesapeake the schoon-
met with nothing but Gains and light
winds. He whistled, his mates whistled
and the men forward whistled, but the
breeze from behind them would not come,
and 1t was case of drift down the coast
No bad weather was encountered, there
being not breeze enough at any time to re-
quire reef sail. and gale or two from
the northward would have been welcomed
The schooner passed in at the capes Sum
day, and was taken in tow in the lower
river by the tug yesterday. 1t is stated
that after unloading her laths the Mon
tague will load railway ties at Alexandria
for a New England port.

BOYS AND GIRLS ENJOY SONGS At
CAMP GOOD WILL.

The children at Camp Good VIII are now
having plenty of music. Through the
agency of Mr. Percy s. Foster a first-ciass
upright piano has been loaned for the sea-
son. The children enjoy music and actually
sit still for an hour or more at Tune
listening to popular airs and classical Sc
lections. The piano will be welcomed, too,
by the many members Of young people
societies who visit the camp Sunday after
Moons. A very important part of such serv-
ices is the musical program. and II is con-
tended that more can be done to interest
and help the children by careful selec-
tion of music properly rendered than by
preaching.
The camp always needs additional voiun-
teers. The small corps of workers receive
encouragement and rest through the heip
given by the young ladies and young men
who visit the camp for few hours or LOT
all day. With a hundred children ead
mothers to look after and build up In every
proper way there is no limit to the amount
of work which could and should be done
