SHIPPING ITEMS. Capt J. O. Hayes arrived
home on last Friday evenings train. For
several weeks he has been in Hoboken looking
after the repairs on the sch. Edward T. Stotes-
bury. This schooner was built at Verona in
1900 and hailed from New York, and was
bought as wreck by Pendleton Bros. Capt.
Hayes will now take charge of fitting out the
dismasted sch. Frederick Roessner, which was
towed here from Rockland few weeks ago
after discharging a cargo of coal at that port.
New masts will be made from the handsome
sticks of Oregon pine received here by rail
year two ago and which have since laid in
: masts. The schooner will be rugged here and
got ready for business as soon as possible
The Portland Argus of last Saturday says
Capt. Jerry Hayes, the shore captain of the
Pendleton Brothers fleet of vessels, was in
the city yesterday and took look at the re-
mains of the three masted schooner Sallie On,
which is drawn up on the flats at the old dry
dock wharf at South Portland, which vessel
formerly flew the Pendleton flag. Rumor has
it that the burned hulk will shortly be towed
to Belfast, where she will complete the burn
ing up process for the sake of the metal and
, old iron in her.. Two steamers will come
to Portland this year to load apples and moth
ing but apples. The first, the Juan, will arrive
some time this week and will take out 10000
barrels of apples for Hamburg. The Jose,
the second steamer, is due about Nov 10th
: and will carry 1000 barrels. The Belfast
Fuel & Hay Co. were delayed by the storm
last week in discharging barge load of coal
: at their dock, and did not finish until Sunday.
