STEAMER NOTES. The Eastern Steamship
Co. has been having splendid summer. For
the seven months ending July 3lst the net
earnings of the line were $40062 more than
for the same time year ago and of this gain
more than half, $20,4S3, was made in the
single month of July. The increase in the net
earnings is declared to be largely due to the
present efficient operation of the line which
has saved all of the gain in gross for net. The
company has now practically paid off the last
of its floating debt, largely incurred in the
building of the steamer Belfast, and its fnan-
clal condition is now as good as at any time in
its history. The Boston boats discontinued
landing at Northport last Saturday, but made
special stop there Tuesday on the outward
trip and will make another tomorrow, Friday.
.... The steamer Castine did not make the ex-
cursion to Crescent Beach last Sunday on ac-
count of the rain. The Castine will make this
trip next Sunday, leaving Lewis wharf, Bel
fast at $50 a. M, Temple Heights at 10 and
Camden Ills a. m. Returning will leave
Crescent Beach at $50 and Camden at p. m.
Fare for the round trip so cents. Get aboard
and enjoy one of Landlord Smiths lobster
dinners. The steamer Corinna of Cas-
tine came to this port last week for repairs
to her machinery. The Boston boat will
make its last Sunday trip to this port leaving
Boston next Saturday night. There have been
seven of the extra Sunday trips made this year
and each one has been we'll patronized
SHIPPING ITEMS Mention was made last
week of the return to this port, light, of two
schooners which had carried lumber to the
westward. Captain Batcheder of the James
Slater was offered coal freight at New York
at 45 cents, but would have had to wait week
to be loaded, and there was money in it for
the vessel. .... Of the schooner Mary L.
Baxter built at Bath by the G. G. Deering Co.
for the general coasting trade and launched
last week, it is said: sin the construction moth
ing but selected material was used in any de-
partment She has frame of oak and the
planking is five inches thick. There were no
knees used in the construction of the vessel
and in their places are heavy stringers of hard
pine underneath and on top of the beams, rum
ming the whole length. This is an innovation
adopted by Mr.. Deering several years ago and
has proven good substitute for knees and by
many is credited with giving the craft more
strength than knees Sch. James Slater
was taken out on Gilchrest's marine railway
last Friday, and leak was located about the
$3.50. In towing through the draw of
the lower bridge the topmast backstays of sch.
Albert Pharo caught on one side of the draw,
it so it went overheard and caused
a suspension of travel across the bridge for
about "a hours. The schooners topmast was
carried away. Wellington E. Dunbar, who
tends the draw, quite badly injured, re-
curing the services of a physician. The |
schooner was beached at Robbinstown and will
be broken up by Leslie Robbins, who bought
her of Mr.. Gilchrest... The two-masted schoon-
err Maine, 191 tons net, is the largest sailing
vessel hailing from Washington, D. C. She
was built at Bath in 1886, and is employed in
the lumber trade. 81. The little schooner Fancy |
of tons net, built at Marblehead in 1855 will
figure in the courts again at the coming term.
An attempt was made to sell her recently, and
a buyer was on hand with the cash, but was
unable to get the attachment taken off that
was put on by the attorney for George W.
Pendleton, who has a claim for storing the
sails. The schooner has been laid up here for
a year 80. Sch. Havelock (Br.), Berry, from
Annapolis, N S., July 25th, for Caibarien, was
picked up, abandoned and towed into Nuevitas. |
Her bottom is injured and part of cargo lost.
