Captain Flood says the Durr carries a very large cargo,on a light draught of water, and is a very small fuel consumer, and a success in every way. The splendid new steamship John M, Nicol, recently built by F. W. Wheeler, Bay City, arrived here Friday morning, with salt: from Bay City.

The nearest Lake Superior port to the Aposile islands, where James , Corrigan’s steamer Australasia and consort George are ashore, were not encouraging to people interested in the boats. The wreckers were compelled to remain at Bayfield all day on account of a northwest wind. The location of the boats on Michigan island is not known here, bat it is more than probable that they suffered somewhat from the weather. The coal heavers have been in session all day long at the Knights of Labor hall, con— sidering ways and means to get the higher prices wanted by the West Superior coal men ! rior strikers gaye their cause of grievances, and speeches were made to the effect that the men should receiyé 50 cents an hour instead ! of 40 cents on both sides of the bay.

These men come dozens and droves upon the opening of na! gation, secure positions as mates and second. mates, and in some cases are appointed mas~ ters before the steamer leaves her wintering port. This present spring, in particular, they can be counted in tens; they have their pilot’s and master’s license all right, framed and placed in a yisible part of the steamer’s cabin or hallway; but the query 1s how did they get them? What is the lake pilots’ association doing, when they do not question the matter and make investigation concerning these of— fenders? When did these men reside in this country the stipulated length of time to be- come citizens and receive their certificates of citizenship, or have they never been admitted as such; if so they haye never got them right- fully or legally. There are many new men who could be pointed out known to have never lived in this coun ry this spring previous to their coming now; but, as f am. nut a detective, it is not part of my funeral to name them. As they all read the MARINE Recorp this hint may benefit some of them to become duly recognized citizen seamen; otherwise, I say, watch them, for more will come, to the detriment of older and able lake pilots.
