from the revenue cutter Seminole,
which went to the wreck, stated she
had taken the crew off and was carry
ing them to Wilmington.
The Johnston lies in twelve feet of
water and is badly damaged. She is a
vessel of $50 gross cons register, and
was built at Bridgeport Conn.,. in 1891.
Perth Anboy. N. j., is her hailing port

MAKE RECORD TRIPS.
Northerly Breeze Favors Vessels
Coming From Northern Ports.

Heavy northerly winds on the coast
have enabled vessels moving from north
ern ports to those on the Chesapeake
and south Atlantic to make record
trips in a third of the time usually re-
quired for such trips The big five mast
ed schooner Elizabeth Palmer, Capt.
Willard Wade. arrived in Hampton roads
from Boston. having made the run from
Cape Cod to her anchorage in the
lower Chesapeake. a distance of about
500 miles. in forty-tive hours, at an aver
age speed OF eleven and one-ninth knots
an hour. though at times the big vessel
drove through the water at a rate OF
sixteen or seventeen knots an hour.
Capt. Elisha Atkins, master of the new
schooner Courtney G. Houck. is keeping
up his reputation for speedy trips. Laden
with 900 tons OF paving block, the big
schooner made the run from Baltimore
to Tampa, Fla, in a few hours less than
twelve days. and the schooner The
Josephine made the run from Baltimore
to Mayport. Fla, in seven days. with
a full cargo of coal aboard. Ordinarily
about twice the time these vessels took
is required for the trips they made.

WAS BOUND TO ALEXANDRIA.
Suspected Schooner Woodward Abra-
hams Well Known Here.

The schooner Woodward Abrahams.
which was taken in charge by the
revenue cutter Seneca as she came into
the Delaware. on suspicion that hidden
under her cargo was a lot of dress
goods which those on board were en-
deavoring to smuggle into this coun-
try from Nova Scotia. was reported
bound for Alexandria. and the customs
officials here had been notified 10 look
out for her. Waiting for her at the
capes Of the Chesapeake was the cutter
Onondago, and at all ports along the
coast customs vessels and cutters had
orders TO watch for the schooner and
20 seize her.
The vessel was found to have nothing
contraband aboard, and the whole thing
Is said to have grown out of a rumor
coming from Nova Scotia. which was
picked up by the government agents
there. The Woodward Abrahams Is an
old trader to this port, and her master
Capt. James Cook. a veteran navigator
81 well known here. The Abrahams was
