STEAMER NOTES. From deckhand to cap
tain of the big turbiners of the Eastern Steam
ship Corporation is, in brief, the story of the
rise of Capt. Alfred E. Rawley of Hampden
Highlands His father sea captain, and his
ancestors seafarers for generations back, he
took to the water naturally as duck at
the age of IA years After six years of coast
ing he decided he would go steamboating and
began at the bottom of the ladder as a deck
hand on the steamers between Bangor and
Boston. Successfully he became deckhand
quartermaster. pilot. second officer, chief of
ficer and captain. A great many changes
have been seen by Capt. Rawley since he first
started in the steamboat business, and they
have been for the better he says. The size
of the steamers has been constantly growing
and their appointments have been perfected
to such an extent with regard to luxury and
good taste in decorations that the steamers
between Bangor and Boston are now said to
be the equal OF any on the Atlantic coast.

tween plates and nothing much else.
