HARD STORMS
HIT SCHOONER
Captain and Crew Of jeremiah
Smith In Port After Danger
GUS Voyage
BLOWN 500 MILES
OUT OF HER COUSRE

Forty DAYS ago the three-masted
schooner jeremiah Smith sailed f1om
Rockport, Maine. with cargo Of ice
for the Cold Spring Ice and Coal
Company. this city. and should have
made the trip In from four to fivo
days Instead, she did not arrive
here until Wednesday of this week, af-
ter having experienced the most
severe storms Of her career and
causing much suffering from the in
tense cold among the crew.
At one time the vessel was blown
500 miles to sea. and wss nearly
beached along the Massachusetts,
coast, OF Boston.
The crew OF the Jeremiah Smith is
composed Of Captain r. T. Marshall.
whose home is at Deer Isle, Maine;
ole Halvorsen, mate; r. J.. Wilson,
cook; Alfred Jensen, James McDaid
and Robert Murray, sailors.
The vessel is a staunch craft Of S86
tons register. and despite the buffet
ing she received on the trip. she ar
rived in part practically undamaged.
The vessel sailed from Rockport, on
March B, and three days later struck
heavy northwest gale of Cape Sable
From that time tho little craft was al
the mercy Of the mountainous waves
but Captain Marshall and his crew
managed to keep her head TO the
wind AS there was sufficient food
aboard, the crew did not suffer from
hunger. II was so cold, however
that the supply Of drinking water on
the decks froze on the barrels 10 the
bottom, and Il was necessary 10 catch
the rain water from the roof OF the
cockpit for n supply. When the sup
ply OF rain water became exhausted
the matches had 10 be opened and ice
brought up from the hold, which was
melted over a FIRE.
The fresh water was frozen so
hard that despite the fact that the
boat has been here since Wednesday
the fee IN the barrels had thawed
but little
Captain Marshall in relating his ex-
periences on the trip said that the
gale which struck him of Cape Sable
was about as heavy as he ever ex-
perienced and before II abated his
vessel WAS thrown out OF its course
to the sea for a distance OF six hun
dred miles. Beating his way back he
said the vessel came near being beach
ed along the coast OF Massachusetts,,
near Boston, and made that port by a
narrow margin
After staying az Boston several
days the voyage was resumed and
when In Long Island Sound the vessel
struck another gale, this one a north
east snow storm and the men suffered
considerably from the cold. The YES
sel. however. was held to It's course
and when this storm subsided she wal
on her way to this port and met Will
no further trouble.
The schooner carried 603 tons OF ic,
and after she has discharged her cargo
viii sail for Richmond. Va. TO take on
= load OF scrap iron for Bridgeport,

The tree must be pruned back quite

dvated throughout the season. The

The ravages OF this affection have
been extensive In the past few years.
IL claims whole orchards and at times
saps the vitality OF the orchards OF a
whole community. Again II win in

single or perhaps several exceptions.

vsted and well fertilized that escapes
the ravages Of this yellow plague. II
they are well cared for trees are strong
and healthy, and they do not easily
fall the prey OF the disease.
Once the tree becomes affected the
only sure and safe way is TO pull tho
tree and burn IL on the spot. being
careful that no infected branch comes
in contact with a healthy tree. This
may seem like a heavy loss. but II will
prove the most satisfactory way. as
It may be the means OF saving the
rest OF the orchard.-American Guild
