BOATS DELAYED
BY A HEAVY FOG
IMPOSSIBLE FOR THEM TO MOVE
OVER THE HARBOR AT ALL
LAST NIGHT.

So heavy was the fog last night that
At was practically impossible for boats
to move around the harbor. Not in
many years has such a heavy fog pre-
vailed, and the fact that no accidents
resulted along the river front was
probably due to the fact that but very
few vessels attempted to move.
Every hoat due in Brunswick after
dark was late in reaching port. The
steamer Emmeline, from Fernandina,
did not get here until after midnight,
and did well to even reach port at
that hour.
In the city many collisions were
narrowly ayerted. One could stand on
one side OF the street and could not
see the electric lights in stores across
the street The motormen on the
street cars had to keep their bells
ringing continuously in order to avoid
accidents.
This heavy fog is reported to be
prevailing all along the coast and it
is feared that some accidents will
likely occur at sea. Several vessels
due in port have not arrived and it
is thought that they have been delayed
by the heavy fog.

terday announcing that the four-mas-
ted schooner Marie Palmer had gone

this port, and that she would more
than likely be a total loss.
The Palmer, which has loaded in
this port many times, was enrcute TO
Savannah from Cartaret, n. J., with
a full cargo of fertilizer. Early last
week she sprung a leak Knowing
that the tug Coney was in the vicinity
Of Philadelphia, where she went to

of the COney received a telegram from
Captain Lomm, OF the Coney, dated
{ Beaufort, S O., announcing that the

GOYE9NMENT IS
To BEGIN WORK
DIGGING 4 CANAL
ORDERS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
TO CONNECT PLANTATION
AND CLUB CREEK.
Appropriation fer This Work Was
Mace TWO Years Ago, But Delay
Was occasiOned by a Controversy
With Some of Property Owners.

Engineer Conant has just received
instruction from the navy department
at Washington to i1egin active work
on digging q canal. to connect Cmbb
and Plantation creeks, thus giving
fresh water beats en- the Altamaha
river a route to enter the city with
out passing through st. Simon sound
This work is TO he done under an
apDropriation secured by Congressman
Brantley more than TWO years ago, the
delay in beginning having been oe-
casioned by LEGAL entanglements -e-
tween the government and the own
ers OF land touching these creeks.
These differences, however, after cen
siderable trouble, nave been cleared
and as soon as all of the formalltles
are gone through with such as adYer-
tising FOR bids, the accepting OF spec
ifcations, etc, this work will be COM
menced.
Forty thousand dollars will be avail
a0le for the work. Twenty thousand
of>.this sum was appropriated two
years ago and the other twenty thou-
sand has Geen recommended and will
be appropriated at the approaching
session of congress and will be avail
able when it is needed.
viii Enliven Trade.
h1be cutting of this canal means
much 10 inland waterway business and
should serve to greatly increase the
traffic between Brunswick and paints
on the Altamaha, Ocmulgee and Oco-
nee rivers.
: These fresh water boats at present
are compelled to pass through st. 81
mon sound in order to reach this port
While many of them now come t the
mort they cross the sound at FISK
and while no serious accident has ever
occurred to any of the fresh water
steamers, it has simply been hsc@''s9
+hev have never struck rough weather
by crossing the sound.
.Rv digging a canal between CluDI
and Plantation creeks and by slightly
Strengthening the latter creek,
route will be opened to the port which
will not only save the fresh water
steamers the danger of crossing the
sound, but at the same time Will re-
duce the distance The work OF dig
ging the canal will be done, 1t is un
derstood, by large dredge used spe-
cially for this kind of work. In ordel
to save the steamers the necessity q
making so many twists and turns
through Plantation creek. this stream
will also be Strengthened.
Engineer Conant stated to a News
reporter yesterday that it would prob
ably take six weeks or two months
to get everything in readiness for the
beginning of active work.
