a 4 od 4 ‘ Pista AROUND THE LAKES. CLEVELAND. " 4 The Globe Company are putting a con- denser into the steam yacht Twilight. The tug S. S. Stone broke her steam chest while towing two mud scows yesterday. | The tug James Amadeus broke ber wheel by striking a sunken log in the river Wednes- day. oi 26 The schooner Kate Winslow will have a new a neeee ia in at Greenhalgh’s spar- yard, The atone Works have just shipped one of their well known propeller wheels to Chicage for the steamer Lawrence. The schooner Southwest was on Smith’s ‘boxes yesterday having ber bottom calked, and the tug Castle got some new rail. A deck hand, working on the steamer W. a. Wetmore, fell into the hold and was seri- ously injured, He was taken to the hospital. The tug Record, Captain Wm. Bates, left port for Lake Superior on Friday with the J. S. Richards, J. C. Johnson, Ralston and J. A. Smith in tow. We have received detail drawings ofa model for aspeedy sloop yacht, the construc- tion of which will not cost over $200. Par- ties interested are invited to examine. George Boyd, who fell into the hold of the schooner Golden Age a few days ago, died | soon after being taken to the hospital. His remains were taken to Kingston for burial. The tug Gladiator, Captain C. M. Swart- wood, is down with a 2,000,000 feet raft from Cheboygan. The tug Balize held the raft off this port while the Gladiator came in to coal up. ‘The raft is bound for Tonawanda. The steambarge Kalkaska commanded by Captain Henry Fish a navigator of thirty- six years has made eighteen round trips this season between Au Sauble, Lake Huron, and Cleveland freighting in the meantime up- wards of twelve million feet ot lumber. On Tuesday, while Captain Robert Field, an old time captain, was oiling a hoisting derrick, engaged in loading the steamer J, H. Outhwaite, the ladder slipped and he fell fifteen feet, striking heavily on a coal pile. He was-conveyed to his home in an ambulance. Engineer Louis McLaughlin, of tug Ba- lize, has gone to Buffalo to fit up the ma- chinery of the steamer Quebec, and will go in her as engineer. Engineer Blovet, of the Gladiator, has» gone in the Balize, and Charles Kennedy has taken the vacant place in the Gladiator. The new steamer J. H. Outhwaite madea trial trip last Saturday, leaving port at 8 o’clock with about 300 people on board. The working of the machinery and the handy response the boat made to her steering gear, etc., together with the promise she gave of making good time gave great satisfaction to her owners and officers. The propeller Oneida, Captain W. D. Waite in port last week bound for Toledo with merchandise, found Niagara reef Friday night. The tugs Crusader, John Martin and Mystic succeeded in releasing her after four hours work. She is not leak- ing much. She will probably be docked at Detroit Drydock however. The Detroit & Cleveland Steam Naviga- | tion Company gave one of their favorite excursion on the steamer City of Uleveland yesterday, complimentary to the shipping | clerks of Cleveland, to Put-in-Bay Islands. Excursion parties or basket picnic parties | will find their Saturday excursions to De- | troit and the St. Clair river, where an entire | day can be enjoyed, far superior to a ran on a railroad to some small inland lake. At Globe drydock the Egyptian had a leak stopped around the stern post and buts | gre onthe bottom. The schooner George _Adams had her decks calked and some aah work done. The steamer W. L. Wetmore had her bottom recalked. The! Globe is also making a mainmast for the schooner Kate’ Winslow, and a foremast and mainmast for the schooner Republic. - The Pheenix Insurance Co., although in the pool, will write independent policies on unpoolable vessels. The Louisville Co. is also in the pool and hasanét capital of $150,000, and, contrary to a statement made last week, rates high and does not write in- dependent policies. It is formed by the con- solidation of the Louisville, Franklin and Union insurance companies, all of Louis- ville, Ky. The steambarge Business is now laying at the dock of the Cuyahoga Works, where she will receive a new steam cylinder, steam chest, valves, ete., complete, and a new wrought iron cross head. The steam pipe will also be changed from cast iron, to one of boiler plate. When the changes in pro- gress are completed, it is expected that the boat will have considerable more power than before. The Globe Iron Works firm, well known and one of the most prosperous on the lakes, has dissolved partnership Messrs. H. D, Coffinberry, John Cole and Robert Wallace retiring. The new firm has been incor- porated and is known as the Globe Iron Works Company with Mr. J. F. Pankhurst as general manager, the incorporators being Messrs. M. A. Hanna, Leonard Hanna, H. M. Hanna and J. F. Pankhurst, by whom the business will be continued. The Globe iron shipyard is included in the new corpora- tion. The fire tug at Murphy & Root’s shipyard will doubtless be launched next week. They are now waiting only for the sectional blades of the propeller wheel. The boat is built in the strongest manner and is 80 feet over all, 62 feet keel, 23 feet beam and 10 feet depth of hold. The bed plate is in, the engine set and the sbafting in place. The engine is 18x20 and the pumping power sufficient to throw twelve 2!¢ inch streams. The boat will be plated with iron from the bow about fifteen feet back. The propeller wheel is one of the Kuhnstadter patern, sectional, and his patent screw steering pro- peller will be used. This is the first one of this patent on the lakes and was illustrated in the RecorD some months ago. Notwithstanding July has been the dull month of the season for a number of years, occasioned by the fact that the old crop has gone east to a great extent, and that the new crop has not been in shape to move, there is this season a strong and steady demand for tonnage, and freights rule firm and in some instances higher than during the early months. ‘The charters reported yesterday at this port are: Schooners Delaware and Hattie Wells, ore, Escanaba to Ohio ports, $1; schooners Eliza Gerlach and Gilmore, coal, Cleveland to Marquette, 50 cents; pro- peller Robert Wallace, ‘coal, Cleveland to Milwaukee,55 cents; schooner D. P.Rhodes, coal, Sandueky to Milwaukee, 55 cents; schooner Wauwanosh, coal, Ashtabula to Owen Sound, 50 cents, The schooner Hattie Welis takes coal to Lake Michigan. CLAYTON, Special to the Marine Record, i; The steamer Ontario, Captain J. B. Estes, with an excursion from Rochester, passed | down on Monday evening for Alexandria Bay. Captain Wm. Griffin was in town on Wednesday. His vessel, the C. P. King, is {loading granite at the Chicago Granite Works. The inspectors were in town on Friday | | and inspected all the steamers in port. | Excursions are brisk on the river now. | | Steamers go loaded every day. B. CHEBOYGAN, The tug Leviathan returned to port Satur- day after recovering the boilers and ma- chinery of the wrecked propeller W. T. | | Graves, and delivered them in Milwaukee, the work occupying ten days. ss EERIN CHICAGO, Special to the Marine Record. Captain D. W. Barnes, of the achooner Halsted, says that on his last trip to this port from Buftalo, after leaving Port Hu- ron the schooner was on the starboard tack, and did not go in stays or jibe all the way up to Chicago, Paul Pouliot, boat builder, has built a steam yacht, 20 feet over all, 5 feet beam, 2 feet 6 inches depth of hold, for Mr. Baker, of this city. She has been supplied with a. Shipman automatic steam engine, run. with kerosene for fuel, She will start this week for a crnise up the Mississippi river. ‘The schooner Colonel Ellsworth, Captain MeNaire, received a new bow sprit before starting on her present trip. The schooner Harvey Bissell, Captain 8. Murdoch, has received a new mizzen top- mast. She is now a full-rigged schooner again, and with the new cvat of paint she has been getting she looks quite young again. She isa large carrier. Nearly 38,- 000 cedar posts comprised her last cargo to this port. Mr. George Finney’s new purchase, the schooner Skylark, came out of one of the Chicago Drydcck Company’s docks Tues- day, after receiving new deck frames and decks and new stern frames and stern. She is at the company’s derrick, receiving new tain and mizzen masts, and is being con- verted into a three and after. She will also receive an outtit Of new sails. Captain A. J. Harding is on board, looking after the work. He will command her. We are pleased to state that Captain John Councer, who formerly commanded the Sky- lark, is recovering nicely from the com- pound fracture he received on his last trip on her, Saturday night while the schooner Mary E. Cook was coming up Lake Michigan Captain Edward Williams, her master, be- came involved in discussion with one of his crew and when near the edge of the deck load the vessel gave a quick lurch and both were pitched intothe water Captain Wil- liams was drowned. His body was recovered and brought to Chicago by rail. The sailor clung to a line that was trailing over the schooner’s stern, and was rescued after be- ing drawn through the water at a speed of twelve miles an hour. Captain Williams had sailed the lakes for over twenty years, and was 54 years of age. He was master of the Cook when she jumped over the Chi- cago breakwater three years ago during a terrific storm and the vessel and crew were saved from destruction. The vessel was flying betore a strong north- erly wind under a full spread of canvas, but as soon as possible she was hoveto. The yawl lowered and search for the missing men begun. Scarcely had the boat touched the water when the captain’s antagonist grabbed hold of the wale and was hauled aboard, After pulling astern of the schoon- er for nearly a mile faint cries tor help were heard. Then the moon came out from be- hind a bank of clouds, and the struggling form of the captain was discovered on the apex of a wave, The men bent to their oars with a will, but just as they reached the spot ‘the captain disappeared. An instant later the mate caught sight of his form just be- neath the surface and hooked a pike pole into his clothing. ‘Then the captain was drawn into the boat. He still breathed, but before restoratives could be applied he sunk back land died. The body was taken aboard the | vessel and the mate deciaed to put Irto the first port instead of proceeding to Chicago. | Accordingly he headed for Ludington and on reaching there Sunday afternoon turned | the body over to the coroner. The body | was put aboard of a steamer and sent to Chi eago for interment. Captain Williams was an Englishman, about 54 years of age. ' When a boy he shipped on board an ocean 700 Pus ANNUM N@LE Corixs 5 CENTS going vessel and has followed the life of a mariner ever since. He came tothe lakes more than twenty years ago, and for the last fifteen years was in the employ of Pardee, Cook & Company, managing owners of the Mary E, Cook. He was a big hearted, ‘generous man, but, as he frequently re- marked himself, his great fault was his passionate temper. He was a resident of Chicago, and lived at No. 123 Liberty street. A wife and four children survive him. His eldest son is master of the schooner City of Erie. The funeral took place Tuesday after- noon from the resid , and he was buried at Ockwoods Cemetery many of his old marine friends following him to his last resting place. At the Chicago Drydock Company’s. yard the schooners Mystic and Delos de Wolf were in dock to have leaks stopped; the steambarge Monitor for calking; the scow John Bean, Jr., received a‘new stern; the schooner Hattie Hutt new jaws to her gaft; the schooner James Garrett a new rudder; the tug Babcock was at the der- rick and had a line taken out of her wheel. At Miller Brothers’ Drydock the schooners George Steel and Emeu and the tug Commo- __ dore were in dock to have leaks stopped; the steambarge Robert Holland for a new forefoot, piece of new rail, and some plank in her bottom; the steambarge Annie Laura. for a new wheel; the tug Mosher tohave = her stern bearing fixed; the scow D., W. Powers for bottom calking; two of Mears & Company’s brick scows to have. leaks stopped; the tugs Hood and Ewing for re- pairs; the schooner A. P. Nichols réceived new mizzen mast, mizzen topmast and square sail yard; the schooner John L. Mc- Laren a new bowsprit, jibboom and head gear; the schooner O. R. Johnson a new jibboom, cathead, some new _ stanchions, bulwarks, and rail torward; the schooner Jack Thompson a new jibboom; the steam- barge Oswegatchie some repairs to her star- board bow; the schooner Mamie a new jib- boom; the steambarge IT. W. Snook was in dock and received a new wheel. The local inspectors at this port, having considered the affidavits of Captains Arm- strong and O’Day, in the case ot the colli- sion between the steambarges Milwaukee and Hickox, last week, when the former was sunk in Lake Michigan, have concluded to revoke the licenses of both captains, This decision will come very hard on Captain Armstrony, as 1t will prevent him from fol- lowing his occupation, Captain O’Day is differently situated; being part owner of the Hickox, he can act nominally as the commander through another person. Both captains have been lake pilots and have commanded steam vessels for years, and their many friends regret the unfortunate situation in which they are placed. Captain Jacobson and the crew of the schooner Coaster arrived here in a yawl on Saturday after a twenty miles pull through a heavy sea, and reported having abandoned their vessel in mid-lake, water logged. The Coaster left Muskegon with a cargo of slabs early Saturday morning. Shortly after leav- ing port the wind began to blow hard trom the northeast, and the vessel sprang aleak. All hands were ordered to the pumps, but the’ water gained on them steadily, and she became so unwieldy that Captain Jacobson was afraid she would roll over and drown all hands. Soon after his arrival Captain Jacobson learned that the Coaster, which had been left with her foresail and jibs ser, had been driven ashore six miles north of the harbor piers. ‘He went up to her dur- ing the afternoon and finding that she was in bad shape decided to strip the vessel and abandon her. ‘The Coaster was 4 smull ves- sel of less than 100 tons, and was built in 1867. ‘There was no insurance on her.
