Are Ready to Sail

Shipping activities, which have been
dormant in this port for several weeks,
have begun to boom again. Twelve
vessels came into Pensacola harbor
during the past seven days and of this
number six will load cargo here. Five
brought in cargoes and one ship bun
kered. The recent settlement of the
tow boat engineers strike made it pos
sible for two tugs to get away and
two cargoes of lumber have been sent
to Cuba. Several vessels practically
completed their loading during the
week and will sail within the next
few days. The termination of the
fisherman's strike has awakened the
fishing industry again and the two
leading fish houses are making ready
their smacks for the snapper banks.
What was probably the largest ship
ments of mahogony logs for a like
period arrived at this port during the
week.
Three steamers, the Tillamock, the
Botsford and the Oregon. and the
schooner Mary Manson Gruener came
in last week with large cargoes of
mahogony logs for Frederick Gilmore
and company. All of the steamers
came from Nicaragua and the schoon-
er Mary Manson Gruener was loaded
at AKIN, West Africa. All OF these
cargoes will go to Mengel & Co., at
Louisville, Ky.
The American steamer Argenta,
which was forced to discharge her car
go of lumber here several weeks ago
and go to Mobile for repairs on ac-
count of a leaky hold, returned Wed

Argenta expects to sail for Buenos
Ayres sometime this week.
The American steamer Virginia ar
rived the early part of last week with
supply of oil for the 1'exas Co.
