SHIPPING ITEMS. Capt. ]. H. Weldon of

Polly last fall, was in Rockland recently and
made arrangements to have the schooner
taken out on the South railway for needed re-
pairs. When these are completed the Polly
will &C to Bangor to load laths for Boston and
probably will not be seen in these waters
again. Capt. Weldon bought the craft largely
on account of her historic associations, and
eventually she will no doubt pass into the
hands of some society which will preserve
her as the oldest schooner ahoat. Capt S. G.
Hutchinson spent few days last week at his
home in Little Deer Isle while his vessel,
sch. Brina P. Pendleton, was discharging hard
pine at Boston. Sch. Otronto was taken out
