TIMELY ARRIVAL
OF Revenue Cutter Saved 6rit's'
Schooner from Destruction.

Portland, Me-, Jan. 1.-The revenue
cutter Woodbury., Commander J. II.
Brown, has just returned from Cutler
Me. to which karbor she tOWed the
thrce-mastcd 340-ton British schooner
Wandrian after pulling her from a
dangerous position on the rocks or LII
lie River island Sunday forenoon.
It was not until a second trial that
the Woodbury. was able to stir the Dig
schooner, loaded as she was TO the
decks. and in the first attempt the cut
ter broke her starboard after ch"ck
and carried away seven feet of rail.
The Woodbury. first went on the
wrong scent through the blunder OF an
operator or someone. who gave out u
message, for when she arrived in ROCK
land harbor at O'Clock last frihiy
afternoon a message sent announce"
that the three-masted schooner was
ashore on Libby's island. The cutter
circ,rnnavigated Libby's island, but
found no trace of any vessel. 1t nhaliy
found the Wandrian broadSide on the
rocks at the extreme nOrthefly emu "i
Little River island. where exposed 10
q yerv heavy southeast swell that was
increasing all the time she must SUI e
w have gone to pieces had the Wooh-
bury- as usual not arrived in the me-,
of time.
When it came flood tide that night
the Woodbury. made an S-inch line last
to the schooner. but in the attempt 10
mil her off broke chock and part Oh
her after rail. AT $50 O'Clock the reA'
morning on the next flood TIDE tne CUT
ter made the attempt again ana 'IiiS
fine was successful in just Is minutes
after she had attached line 10 the
stranded vessel. The crew of the cross
Island lifesaving station aided the cut
ter very much.
rho Wandrian was 80 days out from
Walton. n. s., for New York. and was
carried onto the Little River lsiaiio
lodges by the strong current whiie Try
ing to make her way out OF Cutler Hal
bnr. where she had lain to during

would not oppose any measure framed on the Arm

concentrations Of the committee of fifteen were
closely modelled The committeeman declared that
while some of the insurance companies took eX-
ception TO both the Armstrong amendments and
the committee OF ffteen's recommendations. the
association thought II best that the amendments
and recommendation should receive a fair trial
and afterward, If need be- the association would
consider action against their defects.
In closing. the committeeman made the interest
ing announcement that the association would strive
to impress on the various states that in taxing IRE
insurance companies the states We're placing a tax
the thrift of the American people. that the
premium rates now in force We're fixed before taxa
ton was thought Of. and that if the taxation
should be increased the insurance companies would
find it difficult to maintain the present scale OF
rates for premiums In support of his arguInen-
against taxation, the committeeman quoted from
the Connecticut MutuaTs 1905 statement, showing
that forty-one companies had reported to the New
