SHIPPING ITEMS. The three masted sch Flora
Condor, PIG tons net, built at Belfast in 1872,
has reached Norfolk on her way south to take
part in the snapper fishery. The Condor sail
ed from Boston sometime last September and
is now no farther on her way than Norfolk al.
though Pensacola is supposed to be the point
of destination AS the snapper fishery is over
some time in March, 1t looks now as though
the Condor would not do very much in that
way this year.. .Shipbuilding is to be revived
In kennebunkport. R. W. Norton and George
Clark, well known builder and contractor
have leased the David Clark shipyard and are
to begin at once reftting it preparatory to law
ing the keel for a three-masted schooner of
about 400 tons. The last vessels built in the
Clark yard were the schooners Savannah and
Golden Ball, in 1901. .. Some weeks ago il WAS
reported th4t activities were to be resumed in
the Pendleton shipyard. and that the schooner
F. G. Pendleton of the Pendleton fleet. then at
Portland, was to be brought here for repairs
The schooner arrived at Rockland last week IN
her way here. Recent reports concerning the
building of a schooner in this yard we're pre-.
mature, as nothing has been decided in that
matter. Captain McDonough and the crew
of the schooner Lyman M. Law, recently sunk
by German submarine, arrived in Rome Feb
16b, and at the American embassy Capt, Nc
Donough told his story OF the sinking of the
schooner, and in describing the approach of
the submarine said: "If my ship had been
armed with five. pou1der could have das-
troyed the submarine as easily as butterinp
piece of bread Neither myself nor nv man
lowered our dignity BY showing any resent.
mant didn't ask them to spare the shin .nd

smiled" Lee Thompson of Belfast. thu. or,
