PURCHASES LAND
ON VISIT HERE
BROOKLYN RESIDENT SPENDS
PART WEEK IN
KEY WEST

O. 7. Klinkenberg of Brooklyn,
N. Y, was in the city for several
days this past week and stopped
here long enough to purchase
some key acreage. His purchases
were made through Robert p.
Bailey of the Oversee Company.
Mr.. Klinkenberg purchased
eight pieces of property on Key
Vacas. He stated that he liked
the climate in Key West so well
that he is planning to bring his
family down for several weeks in
the summer. He will also make
every effort to interest northern
capital in the city.
George Gatta of Mildred, Pa.
and P. J.. Conway of Pittston, Pa,
were visitors who made number
of purchases through Mr.. Bailey
and left the city this morning.
Among their purchases were
three acres on No Name Key, a
lot on White street, a home on
Flagler avenue, Amelia street and
the Curtis property on Florida
street.
Both Mr.. Gotta and Mr.. Con-
way were immensely pleased with
the city, especially with the fish
ing and hope to make a return
trip soon. While here they went
fishing, catching a forty-five
pound kingfish.

| situation, he would set colors next
day. The colors were visible al
an early hour next morning. Capt
Shaw, with the aFoam of the
Sea" went to Capt. Gardeners as.
sistance, as did also the govern.
ment schooner Montrose. The Car.
melita had sunk to the bottom
and her hull was filled with water
to the depth of the sea at that
point, and the crew was busily
engaged in dismantling the ship,
Capt. Shaw assisted in stripping
the vessel. When the work was
completed he brought the captain,
crew and all the material to Key
West aboard the Foam of the
Sea. The material was sold al
public auction here, and the hull
of the Carmelita was sold as she
stood, on the shoal at Dry Tor
itugas. Key West men were the
purchasers of the hull. They own
ed a tug, on which they went to
Dry Tortugas and floated the hull,
towing it to Key West and leaving
it at anchor in Man of War har-
Dor. Long years ago a hurricane
came along and swept her from
her anchorage to Mangrove Key,
where her stalwart frame exists
today, though winds and waves in
years and years have swept away
every vestige of ether materials
that went into the making of this
once fine ship.
There you have the history of
the old derelict at Mangrove Key
just as capt. Billie" told it to a
representative Of The Citizen.
But there are interesting side
lights on the closing out of the
affairs of the Carmelita. Captain
Gardner, commander of the aban-
doned barque, gave to Capt. Billie
Shaw his sword as keepsake. It
is a blade of splendid metal with
bright handle and mountings and
bears the coat of arms of Great
Britain.
Some six weeks ago, Miss Edith
G. Austin, niece of Capt. Card
ner, master of the Carmelita
thirty years ago, came to Key
West on a yacht with a party of
Boston tourists. She cherishes the
memory of her uncle and of the
Carmelita, and made diligent in
quiry about the derelict which she
had heard is still visible near this
port. She got in touch with Capt.
Shaw and visited him at his home,
406 Whitehead street. He ac-
companied the party on the yacht
to the wreck of the Carmelita,
and Miss Austin made some splen-
did pictures of the old frame Of
the once splendid ship. Captain
Shaw gave Miss Austin the sword
that was presented to him by her
uncle. She suggested that he
present it to her in a formal way.
This he did aboard the visiting
yacht, and photographs were made
of the scene. Captain Shaw has
received copies of these photos,
and they are excellent. Miss Aus
tin writes him from Groton, Mass,
that she is having engagements
made of the prints, and will send
him one of each.

WARMERS VIEWS
ON EMBARGO
NOW In EFFECT
PINEAPPLE SHIPMENTS WILL
TAKE NEXT PLACE IN COM
MoDITIEs TRANSPORTED
UP COUNTRY


The embargo on building ma
teriaIs on the Florida East Coast
Railroad viii be lifted in couple
Of weeks, stated L. r. Warner, of
the embargo committee, before the
realtors yesterday.
Mr.. Warner said that tomato
growers are now busy sending
their crops north, and the railroad
was crowded with ears laden with
tomatoes. Pineapple shipments
were the next on the list, he said.
Lumber shipments have also
been overcrowded and piled up in
the yards along the road through
out the state. This situation is
practically cleared up now, and
conditions are almost normal.
All ships coming into port with
lumber and cement have either
been directed to other ports or
their eargoes removed to schoon-
ers and sent by water instead of
rail- to northern points on the
mainland.
All attempts to remdy this situa-
ton have failed. However, Mr.
Warner believes that movements
by rail Of building materials will
take place shortly.
Lincoln Spencer Of the Florida
East Coast, now located ct Mi.
ami, was IN the city several days
ago and predicted that the EN-.
barge would be lifted by April i.
Dir. Spencer at that time said that
ne thought this embargo beneficial
as materials were stacking up in
the railroad yards, and this gave
the shippers an opportunity to
move their orders out Of the rail-.
road yards, where they generally
clutter up tracks for months.

History OF The Carmelita
Old Wreck Near Mangoye Key Was Beautiful Barque
Plying These Waters Many Years Ago

!
Since dynamite is soon to de.
lstroy that well preserved skeleton
of the old derelict which has beer
AN object of interest in the harbol
near Fleming Key, commonly
known as Mangrove Key, fol-
many years, this sturdy relic OF
ages ago has become widely dis
cussed subject of conversation in
Key West and elsewhere.
1t has been stated that no one
knew the name of the old-time
ship, of which only the '.bare
bones" are visible today. Now
that the framework has stubborn
ly defied the forces of the ele-
ments, the pillows of the sea and
ravages OF time for SO many years,
people are interested to learn
something about the staunch ship
that it used to be, a long, long
time ago. Was it THE Ship That
Never Returned" or the abandon
ed barque of a pirate bold who
used to sail the seven seas?
BY taking a retrospective view
and piercing the past through q
period of thirty years or more,
you will see the good ship Car
melita, from Boston, glide grace
fully in the Key West harbor,
making this port for orders. She
was a powerfully built barque, its
framework heavily reinforced
with iron, and was vessel of
about 200 tons displacement. Yes,
she was a sail ship, as most all
the vessels were at that day and
time.
Captain Gardner. a gallant sea-
man of the old days, was COM
mander of the Carmelita, and
when his vessel touched at this
port, though without cargo, she
was ordered to the fumigation sta
tion of the government which was
maintained at Dry Tortugas at
that time. The Carmelita ran
onto a shoal just before reaching
the entrance of the Dry Tortugas
harbor, and sprung a leak.
Looking back thirty years or
more, could be seen a pretty pilot
boat plying the waters between
Key West and Dry Tortugas,
carrying mail and supplies for
government employees at the Dry
Tortugas fumigating station.
Foam of the Sea" was the name
of this pilot boat, and it was in
charge of Captain William III.
Shaw, now living, hale and hearty,
at 406 Whitehead street, in this
city. He is SO years old now,
but looks much younger, and has
been living in Key West 80 years,
having come to this city with the
family at the age Of three. Capt.
Shaw, Familiarity known as sCapt.
Billie" did pilot duty all through
the period of the Civil war. He
has been licensed pilot more
than Sd years, and still holds his
commission.
And all this brings us back to
the Carmelita. When she ran
near Dry Tortugas, Capt.
Shaw went to the relief of the
vessel. Her captain, Gardner, said
he did not think they would need
any aid, but if he found that his
crew could not cope with the
