SHIPPING ITEMS. The Portland Press says;
"a particularly beautiful sight was afforded
yesterday afternoon when the three masted
schooner John R. Fell entered the harbor with
every sail drawing except her skysais. A
novel sight. Wonder if her jibboom was
reefed?. Sch. Hunter, Capt. Yeaton. from
Perth Amboy has discharged cargo Of coal
for the Sherman leatherboard mills, East Bel
fast. ...S Sch Henry W. Halves, Capt. Fos-
ter, from Baltimore, has discharged fertilizer
at this port for Jackson & Hall. -. The Jack
sonville, Fla, Metropolis says that in Septem-
Der line of schooners will begin sailing dates
between Halifax, Nova-Scotia, and Brunswick |
Savannah and Charleston, as we'll as some of
the more Northern Atlantic ports. They will
make monthly trips at first and if business
warrants more vessels will be put on. Hay
and kindred products will be brought South,
and the principal commodity taken North will
be lumber. Other freight will be handled, but
it is expected that the bulk of each cargo will
consist of the materials named. This recalls
the time when Belfast had a fleet of three
masted schooners, built at this port running
to Jacksonville, carrying out hay and ice and
bringing back hard pine for the shipyards -.
The Portland Press says that the coasting
vessels which run to that port have had very
busy and profitable season.. Sch. Emily A.
Staples was taken out on Gilchrest's marine
railway last week for painting and minor
pairs Sch. Edward Stewart finished dis
