| A cable despatch by way of London an
nounces that the bark Shetland has been
| totally wrecked at Cape Corrientes. Crew
saved. There is only one American bark
| by this name, owned by John s. Emery &
| Co., of Boston, and. built at the old Hall
shipyard in Ellsworth in 1878. She was
of $50 tons net. Her dimensions were
length, 143 feet; breadth, 1873 feet; depth,
17.6 feet. The brief item of her loss
| brings a strange juxtaposition of words,
| recalling to the old-timers among the sea-
| faring men of Ellsworth the fact that
Corrientes, the name of the cape where
| the Shetland was wrecked, was also the
name of another bark built in Ellsworth
some forty years ago and lost years ago in
the Pacific. Cape Corrientes is on the west
coast of Mexico.

ter; A. H. Kicker, w. S. Lane, Harry E.
Walker, DR.. F. F. Simonton and w. H.
Dresser. George B. Stuart was toast
master. After several songs,
with C. w. Basford at the piano,
the meeting broke up. An interesting
feature of the evening took place just be-
fore the work, when Charles II. Curtis, on
behalf of Charles D. Farrell, of California,
presented to the lodge maui and stand
! made from the burl of California red
wood, being taken from one of the larg-
est trees in Humboldt county G. R.
Foster responded for the lodge.
