ly earned the rest she sought by a sort of maritime suicide when she sank in the ship channel between Sta
 len Island and Brooklyn last Tuesday.
 This rest, however, was denied her,
 says a New York paper. She was raised by a wrecking crew, and now she will be repaired and sent forth again to labor anew.
 The Doverfjeld is Norwegian six masted schooner. She has had more vessel af1oat. She began life 30 years ago as the side wheeler Rhode Island one of the steamboat palaces" of Long Island sound. When still more pa iatia1 vessels crowded her out she was converted into a coal barge, and and more worn out. year by year, un- til finally she was believed to have outlived her usefulness altogether, and was consigned to the scrap heap.
 Then came the war, and tonnage became the all-abSorbing problem which shippers ever since have been trying in many ways to solve. Even boric past" did not escape the search for "bottoms," and so she was lugged forth from the scrap heap and sent back to Noank, where she was built, 70 be rejuvenared.
 Converted into a schooner she was sold for $100, 900 to a Norwegian com pany, and she was outward bound when she took the almost fatal plunge.
 In her sunken condition her pro- truding masts were a menace to nav igation. This was one reason why she was f1oated again. Another is that she is to be repaired once more, and given another chance to prove that old age is no bar to usefulness.
