and for several years he was on this
boat until the Cambridge was lost in
the year 1882, off Old Man ledge,
northwest of Monhegan. The crew
and passengers were rescued by rev.
enue cutters and this was about as
narrow an escape as Mate Birming-
ham has had to going down into Davy
Jones' locker.
Another experience that he well re-
members was the freezing over of Pc
nobscot bay below Bucksport. when
he was on the steamer Katahdin. The
captain thought he could make Bucks
port but the ice formed rapidly and a
few miles below that town the Ka-
tahdin was frozen solid in the ice, so
that the crew walked ashore from the
steamer.
He has the distinction Of having
served on every one Of the steamers
of the Eastern Steamship corporation
including the Calvin Austin, Governor
Cobb, Governor Dingley, Ransom B
Fuller, City Of Bangor, City Of Rock

and Belfast.
The steamers Belfast and Camden
are sister ships and it is interesting tc
note that the first mates Of these
steamers are brothers. First Mate
Birmingham of the Camden has a
brother. Thomas Birmingham of the
steamer Belfast who also has a long
and excellent record on the Boston

THIRTY YEARS ON
STEAMERS BETWEEN
BANGOR AND BOSTON
Bangor Commercially

Bangor Commercially
To all Bangor people who have trav-
eled on the Boston and Bangor steam
ers for the past 80 years, one Of the
most familiar figures on the boats is
that of First Mate Richard w. Birm-
ingham of the steamer Camden, who
has had a career Of 80 years as SAIL
or and first mate on the lines between
Bangor and Boston.
Mr.. Birmingham Is q native of Ban
gor and early showed a great love for
the ocean, which became so pronounc-
ed at the age Of Is years that he ran
away to sea. For several years, he
followed the life of sailor on vessels
plying between Maine and the West
Indies and other ports never losing
his love for the free life Of Jack Tar.
Each time that he returned to Ban
gor from one of his voyages, his
mother would plead with him to give
up the sea. But he was deaf to her
entreaties. Finally, however as a
sort of a compromise, he agreed to
give up deep sea navigation, and to
enter steamboat service between the
Queen City and The Hub.
His first employment was a deck
hand on the old steamer Cambridge.

Boston harbor is to be fired upon with
sbotted guns. Similar orders have
been given in New York.
Orders Specific
orders have been sent in duplicate
to the patrol boat Marietta and TO
the commanders of all the forts in the
harbor, and are unusually specific.
Custom officials have also been no.
tined to deny clearance papers to any
ana all German ships now held in
the harbor through fear of capture
by the allies war vessels.
1t Is understood that secret service
operatives, after conducting investi-
cations. have submitted reports to
Washington to the effect that in the
event of war between this country
and Germany, attempts will be made
by commanders OF German ships to
slip out to sea with their vessels.
In the harbor at present there are
seven German vessels and one Aus

Secures $1,000 From Mil.
Railway for New Road.

The town board of Summit
township met Monday afternoon
in conjunction with repreSen-
tative of the Milwaukee road to
discuss the matter of the build
ing of road on the south of the
Milwaukee right of way from
Summit south to- point where
the section line intcrSectS the
company $ right of way. After
the matter had been discussed
the Milwaukee representative
otfe' ed for the company, to do.
nate to Summit township the
sum of $1,000 providing the
township would purchase the
necessary right of way for the
road and build it in substan-
tial manner, according to the
Summit Independent. 1t was
agreed that the whole of the
$4,000 should be spent upon The
work. The plan will involve the
building of about a mile and
half of road. To secure the right
OF way will necessitate the pur-
chase of about 8 acres of land.
In case the owners of the land
are not willing to sell at a reason
able price it is understood it is
the intention of the town board
of Summit township to have the
land condemned under the state
law as this method will insure
the town getting the land at a
reasonable price and have suf-
ticient funds to build splendid
road. The Improvement when
completed will be of inestimable
benefit to the Yellowstone trail
for it will make it unnecessary
to cross the track at Summit
and then come back to the south
side of the track, over the via
duct west of town. The Yellow
stone trail will go directly west
from Summit, on the south side
of the track The solving of this
problem by the board of Sum-
NIT township will reflect great
upon it's members and they will
deserve the thanks of not only
the Trail but all those who have
occasion to drive in or out of
Summit for the west.
