SHIPPING ITEMS Last Friday the schs.
| Harriet Rogers and Maria Webster were
| placed alongside the wrecked schooner Me-
lissa Trask on the beach above the steam
boat wharf and raised her so that she was
hauled farther up on the beach. Most of
the keel was gune and there were some
holes under her bilge These were patched,
| and Saturday morning steamer Golden Rod
went alongside and set her steam pump at
| work, and the vessels pump was also used,
| but had little effect. In the afternoon the
pile driver was placed alongside to utilize
the donkey engine in working the pump
and Sunday morning at 4 o'clock Master
| Nllband with {. crew went TO work to patch
| up the holes in the vessels bottom. The
worst place was we'll forward on the port
| side, where the mud had to be dug away for
| Il e1-i
under and man laid on his back in the
| sktf to nail on the sheathing boards. AS
| soon as the patching was completed pump
| ing was begun, steamer Golden Rod having
arrived about 10a. m. to assist, and although
| the water gained it was kept down sufficient
ly to enable the schooner to be placed on the
railway, but without an inch to spare. 1t
was quite nice job to land the water-logged
craft just right and get her safely blocked,
| but it was accomplished, and after ten hours
of continuous work without food Master
Wilband was able to 60 home. The schOon-
er's keel is turned over, part to port and part
| to starboard, and well splntered up, but her
stern post is not gone as reported The rud-
der post was broken off but the rudder was
saved. Sch. Morris g. Cliff arrived Friday
from Weymouth, Mass, with fertilizer ior
jackson & Hall and discharged at Lewis
wharf. Sch. Penobscot from Hoboken
| with coal for the Belfast Fuel < Hay Co.,
arrived last Saturday and was docked by
steamer Silver Star. Bark Loeb Ranpoch
tNor.) Bangor for Buenos Ayres, which
had been at anchor for some time in Fort
Point cove, has sailed for destination. She

American Trading Co of New York, and in
charge of a keeper, but the keeper was
taken off last Sunday.
