In the list of briggs built in Searsport, pub
lished in last weeks Journal, the brig Wacca-
NAV, built in McGilvery's yard in 1855, was
overlooked in compiling the list of briggs.
She was built for Captain Andrew Grant
of Prospect. The late Elisha Dunbar was
the master builder. In 1861 at the outbreak
of the Civil War the Waccamaw, then in
command of the late Capt. James Nickels of
oSoASPo SdIliS lHtO oSdlopoiL udlpoI lIoM
Bucksville, S. c., flying the Confederate flag,
her papers having been taken from her by the
collector of customs at Georgetown, S. c. She
is probably the only vessel that ever flew the
Confederate flag in Penobscot bay She was
afterward abandoned at sea while in command
of Capt. W. S. Nickels of Searsport. At the
time the Waccamaw left Bucksville for Sears
port the brig Celia M. Carver, commanded by
Capt. Andrew S. Pendleton of Searsport, also
without papers, sailed for Martinique, where
Capt. Pendleton had considerable difficulty in
getting new set of papers, as the United
States consul at that port was southern gen.
tleman and strong supporter of the Confed-
crate cause. The Celia NJ Carver was built at
Bangor in 1853 by the late Master George A.
Carver and was about ITO tons register. She
was lost December q, 1865, while in command
of Capt. Forest W. Treat of Searsport being
laden with spars and lumber to be used in the
construction of the ship Samuel F. Hersey,
which was being built in Searsport that year
for the late Capt. Everett S. Staples of Stock
ton The brig was knocked down in a north
west gale off Cape Cod on the night of Deem
Der 21st and Capt. Treat and the first officer,
Edwin Mathews of Searsport, and the balance
of the crew who were not lost, were taken off
December Both and landed in Boston, and taken
to the marine hospital in Chelsea, where Capt.
Treat had one foot partially amputated and the
other above the ankle. Capt. Treat was below
when the vessel went over and was only par
TALLY clothed when he came on deck and suf-
fered terribly during his ten days stay on the
wreck before being taken off. Capt. Mathews,
the first officer, Jared better, as it was his
watch on deck at the time of the disaster, and
he was fully clothed. He had command of sew
eral vessels out of Boston afterward. He died
at his home in Searsport in 1871.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tlonal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube is infamed
you have rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an infamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for
