STEAMER NOTES. Articles of agreement
have been drawn up and signed between Capt.
Benj R. Arey of the steamer Anna Belle,
whereby on Monday he began a new service
across the Penobscot Bay under contract with
the Belfast Board of Trade in which he has
agreed to make daily trips between this city,
Warren's Landing, Ryder's Cove and Hughes
Point, Islesboro, together with Castine and
Brooksvile for five months, and is to have free
wharfage at McIntyre's wharf during that
time. He also agrees to make trips to Brook
lin and "Reach" points in connection with the
steamer Marjorie, when necessary. The with
drawal of the steamer fremont from the route
across the bay left the landings at Ryder's
Cove and Hughes Point without any service
and it was the intention of the Pendleton's to
have the mail driven to the steamer at War
ren's-Ianding. Messrs. Frank L. Written,
Charles R. Coombs and V. A. Simmons were
the committee for the board of trade who made
the arrangement. On account of last

ton Saturday. The Belfast left Boston Friday
arriving Saturday and laid over at Bangor until
Monday. The Camden left Rockland Friday
night for Boston and laid over there until
Monday, when the regular trips were resumed

Light, Nov. 9th, and knocked off the top of

cause the steering gear of the steamer became
so jammed that she was unmanageable at the
time.
