10000 will be saved and laid up on the
rocks on the islands to dry awaiting their
removal in milder weather. When the

out without breaking and that also will be
saved. The Rock land Star says that
Charles E. Bicknell and Capt. W. G. But
man, who bought the ATLANTA, will prob
ably clear up about $1,000 from the wreck.
This profit would have been considerably
larger had it not been for the loss of the
schooner Yankee Maid, while at anchor off
Seal Harb0r waiting to take cargo of laths
from the wreck. George A. Gilchrest has
sold the schooner Theoline, built by him in
1900 for the McQuestins of Boston, to nj. P.

pacity. She is now on her way to Jackson
vile for lumber freight to Boston, having
been chartered before the SALE. .Schs.
