weeks, but seldom longer.
When the schooner failed to arrive at

twenty days. and vessels that had sailed
from Maine ports several days after her
had been reported as sailing, shipping
circles began to get worried. The ccnclu-
sion had almost been reached that the

port came that she was safe. and had

its way to Alexandria. 1t is supposed
that the Independent was caught IN one
of the recent gales on the coast and was
blown off its course.
Time was required for the vessel to
work its way back to the coast, and this
caused it's long trip down tn. coast. The
Independent is an old trader to this port,
and brought ice here long before the ice
companies were absorbed by the American
Ice Company.

respondent in London:
