boats from the Pacific to the Atlantic

lumber in Australia has also augment
ed the demand for lumber schooners
to such an. extent that boats which
were hardly considered seaworthy a
year age. are now being chartered for
the lumber trade and bringing any
price their owners ask.
I'm the last three months, freight
