WATER FRONT NOTES.


WATER FRONT NOTES.
With shipment of about 1000 bar
rels of rosin, the Norwegian steam
ship Heina left port late yesterday
proceeding hence to Mo-
bile, but the consignment of naval
stores was cleared for Buenos Ayres,
to which port the steamer will go
from Mobile, where a miscellaneous
cargo will be received.
The four-mast schooner Mary c.
Bowen, with cargo of timber and
lumber, will probably clear some time
today for a port in Italy. This
schooner filed advance clearance yes
terday, and an additional lot of cargo
will be noted today when it is thought
the schooner will get away. The cap
tain of this schooner LIS in need of
several men in his crew, but as the in
spector is here, there will hardly be
any great trouble in certifying to
able-bodied seamen, as the law on
American vessels now requires.
From the gulf searching for the
disabled schooner William H. Daven-
port, the steam tug E. E. Simpson is
expected late this afternoon or to-
night, and it is believed, since the
position of the schooner named was
clearly indicated, that the tug will
bring the vessel to Pensacola There
has been nothing heard of the steamer
up to late hour, but orders were
that the search be continued, even for
a week or thereabout, until the ship
is located. Word was brought in a
note to Alex. Zelius, Jr., of the YES
sells plight, and request for assist
ance. Immediately the tug above
mentioned was dispatched to locate
and tow to port the schooner.
After remaining here for a couple
of days, the Belgian steamship Syrie
left port early yesterday, bound for
Rotterdam with full cargo of wheat.
The Syrie received at Pensacola about
900 tons of bunker coal and then
moved to the stream, awaiting the
signing of a member of the crew to
take the place of one man who de-
cided to leave the steamer at this
point rather than take the chances of
going into the war zone.
Clearing and steaming from Gal
eston Wednesday,, the Leyland liner
Nicosian, with general cargo for
Liverpool, win come via Pensacola for
bunker coal. A total of about 1000
tons will be furnished the large vessel,
which should be in port some time to-
day. This is one of the Leyland liners
which had a narrow escape upon a re-
cent voyage to European ports from
an enemy submarine. The Nicosian
is sister ship of the Nubian, which
was here few days ago, there being
but thirty tons difference in their re-
spective displacements.
Following a general overhauling,
repainting and partial refitting, the
launch Goodwin was out in the
stream on a pleasure run yesterday,
having the appearance of a new YES
sci. The Goodwin was beached dur
| ing the late storm, and while in shoal
waters thieves boarded and almost
stripped the vessel of everything in
the way of metals having any value
whatever. Among the articles taken
was a brass ladder, extending from
the stemer's main deck to the prone
made, the ladder weighing possibly
twenty-five pounds. There is a
standing reward for the arrest and
conviction of the guilty parties. The
Goodwin late in the afternoon yes
terday made a trip to up-the-sound
points.
Much work is being done on the old
bark Avio, now berthed at the Aiken
Company's wharf. 1t was stated yes
terday that the serious leak which
started after the old vessel had rolled
over when about to slide to deer
water, had almost been stopped and
that it would be only day or two
when the boat would be ready, if the
docking facilities were available, tc
have her towed over to Mobile. The
Avio, as stated, viii be converted into
a barge.
Towing the undertaken barge
Douglass, the tug Sea King left port
at an early hour yesterday morning
bound for Cardenas. The tug is ex
pected to be away about three weeks
