REPAIRING VESSEL
ON ROCK PILE

Considerable work is being done on
the fishing smack Emilia Enos, which
during the October storm was torn
from her mornings and cast up on the
rock pile. Immediately south of the
Gulf Transit Company's office on
Commandments Mharf.
The smack has been raised and
blocked up to stand on an almost even
keel and a large force of workmen are
now engaged in practically rebuilding
the vessel on the improvised stocks.
New timbers have been built in, and
all broken or Jagged boards have been
torn out, to be replaced by new lum-
Der. All Of which, according to those
engaged on the job. will almost insure
the smack being in commission very
shortly.
Once all the broken places have
been patched up or covered, the Enos
will be floated and later drydocked
for more extended repairing.

INCOMING TRAINS
OFF SCHEDULE

Holiday travel and connection con-
tributed to causing all incoming trains
to arrive behind time during yester-
day. and as a result friends who made
way to the depot to meet guests, or
relatives who expected out-of- town
kinsmen to come, were doomed to
make a second trip.
The early morning train arrived just
a little off schedule, but in time to
permit eastbound No. to leave on
time. Train No. 4, arriving usually at
9:45 o'clock in the morning, came in
so late as to delay the regular north
bound No. 4Sat 1910 noon.
Train No. 1, due at 1880 o'clock in
the afternoon, came in on schedule
time, but made no connections, either
with the north or south trains On the
main line of the L. & n. The only mail
which this usually well-loaded train
brought was a pouch from Selma, the
starting point of the local No. 4.
Train No. 5. due at $3.50 o'clock,
usually on time. arrived nearly two
hours o: schedule, but, besides bring
ing the local Mobile mail, also picked
up and brought to the clay all mail
which is usually received daily from
the north and south trains on the main
line.
Not to be outdone by the day trains
No. 2 from the east. due at 1910
o'clock arrived after midnight, ac-
counting for her late arrival a diff

STORING MANY
STEEL B|LLETS ON
THE EXPORT DOCK

One way of solving at least part
of the prevailing car shortage at this
port is being solved in a measure by
the L. & N, in discharging cars just
as rapidly as possible, and dispatching
them to other points without the loss
of any more time than necessary.
A large lot of steel billets, billed
for early shipment on vessels to Liver
pool and possibly other ports, which
have been arriving here for the past
couple of days, are being removed
from the cars and are piled evenly
and properly tagged, occupying that
part of Commandments dock between
the two incline tracks. 1t was re-
ported that several carloads are yet
to be unloaded, and this will also be
properly tagged with car NUMBER,
number of pieces, weights, ETC., to be
| cared for in that place Of storage until
the arrival of the shipping vessel
which should be here early next
| month.
The advantage of unloading the
great steel bars and placing them in
easy reach of the L. & N. crane, IS APP
parent The cars which bring them
| here are available for use in other
| lines, some of them being used for
| transporting mahogany logs to Louis
Vile, while others have been rushed
back to the furnaces for new sup
plies.
| The export of steel billets at Pen
sacola has long been done, and it is
not new industry. These are huge
/ pieces of iron, which had been put
through the furnaces, and are shipped
in bulky pieces because of being more
easily handled, it is said, than the
smaller bits exported in the past.
