| SHIPPING ITEMS. Last Thursday afternoon,
with light head wind, schooner was seen
beating into the harbor, laying as good a course
and making the speed of a modern yacht.
When she got within hearing distance the choo-
choo of gasolene engine was heard and the
mystery was solved. 1t was the good schooner
Charleston, Capt Shubael C. Rich, and her
yawl boat is equipped with gasolene engine.
In going about the power supplemented the
momentum of the vessel in giving her long
shoot to windward before filling away on the
other tack. The bay coaster, Mary Eliza, Capt.
Fitz w. Patterson, Jr., is similarly equipped,
and both vessels have found this auxiliary
power of great assistance in going from port to
port. :. Louis Anderson, a seaman on the
schooner Northland, which arrived at Cape
Jellison pier January 18th from New York, had
his right arm SO badly mangled in the hosting
machinery that his removal to the Marine hos
pital at Portland was necessary. The four
masted schooner Lewiston, Capt. CHM, which
sailed from Boston December 14th for Balti-
more, and was next reported, nearly month
later, in Tampa bay, Fla, having been blown
south of Cuba, arrived at Port Arthur January
18th to load lumber for Boston. The vessel
was chartered to load coal at Baltimore for
Port Arthur, but this charter has been cancel
ed owing to the unusual experience Of the
craft. :. Schooner Horace A. Stone is charter
ed to load cement at New York for Galveston
at $40 ton and il chartered back on lumber.
Sabine Pass to Boston, $50 per thousand. -. !.
The three-masted schooner Metinic arrived
last week from Northport, L. l., with cargo
Of potash for the Mortimer Co.
