firm for $4,000 and that her rig will be
changed to that of schooner and she will
be placed in the coastng trade. With the
sale of the Josephine only one vessel is left
of the large fleet of fast clipper ships which
formerly sailed between Baltimore and Rio
in the Brazilian coffee trade. This vessel
is the barkentine Good News, bait at Bal
timore in 1889 and now on a voyage to
South America.
The Josephine is a vessel of 9O4 gross and
$50 tons net. She was built at Belfast Me-
in 1896. for the Morton Stewart Company.

and II feet inches deep The decadence Of
