A FIRE IN THE NUGGET VARIETY sropp ~,
MAIN STREET. About o'clock last Tuesday
morning fire broke out in the store on Main
street owned by the Arnold Harris estate and
occupied by Mrs Evelyn NJ Mudpett. who
carries miscellaneous stock, including china
ladies' wear. toys, stationery, etc. The fire
had started in the rear of the store and burned
through the floor, running across under the
hard wood floor to the toilet room. where it
broke out around the piping and DESTROYED the
floor and interior. The blaze did not reach
many of the goods, and the damage is mainly
due to the smoke and water. Chief Engineer
Shute was of the first in the building and
was precipitated into the cellar by the burned
floor giving way and came near being overcome
by the smoke. The damage to the BUILDING js
light, but the greater part of the stock is
ruined. The cause of the fire is unknown. The
prompt and efficient work of the fremen pre-
vented he spread of the fire to the adjacent
stores and averted what might have been a
very disastrous fire.
| THE YACHT WANDERER, Meeting Cant
Royal W. Warren on the water front short
time ago the subject of yachts came up and he
recalled the fact that the once noted Yacht
Wanderer had loaded potatoes at this port for
Savannah and made the voyage out in heavy
weather under storm sails. He also spoke of
her having been rebuilt at Rockland, and of
the care that was taken to preserve the ORR
ginal model. The Wanderer was built at Sc.
tauket, L. l.. in 1857. and picture of her at
the time in Harper's Weekly shows her as a
| s~Pe~NsesS SSAA~AASAt
and strong sheer. She was no doubt the fast
est sailing craft of her class in her day; but
later marine architects have wholly discarded
hollow water lines. The original owner sold
the Wanderer toa Capt. Corrie of South Caro-
lima and she is supposed to have engaged in
the slave trade and to have landed cargo of
slaves in the Savannah river; but there is a
mystery as to her movements for number Of
years. She is said to have been in the posses
sion of the government at one time, but tie
writer has no reliable information as to that
or her final fate. The name is a common one
for vessels, and we find in the government list
for 1877 the schooner yacht Wanderer of 81 OF
tons. hailing from New York; but the lists Of
those days did not give the place where built
and it would seem that the original Wanderel
n ust have been q large craft, although that
was good size for a yacht fifty odd years ago
