Concord Back to Work.

What am I going to do with the
Concord?" echoed Eben Low, in re-
ply to an alleged humorous question
yesterday afternoon. 'Why, am
going to put her to work and make
some money out of her. When there
is lots of wind she can sail around
any of these sleek bottomed racers,
but as long as I own her she won't
be in another race. She has got to
earn her living now, and you bet your
life she can do it. Between here and
Hawaii and other island ports, the
old Concord will run as even a

sail from here fer New York the lat
ter part of this week It is probable
that she will go out of the harbor
on Friday, though she may be de-

Goodwin brought the Dirigo out here
from the Atlantic Coast on her last
trip. having one of the worst voyages
in the history Of sugar vessels. His
vessel sprung bad leak and was
struck by lightning, matters going
from bad to worse until he was finally
forced TO put into Rio Janeiro for re-
pairs. Here he was laid up for sew
eral months.
When Joe Gilman. the agent of the
vessel here. and several others board
ed the Dirigo as she was locked at
the Channel wharf, Captain Goodwin
was the central figure in a very dra-
matte incident. He was racked and
worn from long nights of vigil, and
| looked haggard. Before greeting
those who had come on board, Cap
tain Goodwin said:
Gentlemen. I'm through with the
sea, I've had enough. If any man
