The Globe Iron Works has the contract for the engine. Notice has been given thata spar buoy has disappeared from Surprise Shoal, Geor- gian Bay, and will not be replaced this sea- son. The schooner Nellie Gardner, ashore on South Point, Scare Crow Island, is a total loss, being without insurance. She will be stripped and”abandoned. Messrs. Grover & Son supplied a new mainsail and jib for each of the schooners David Wagstaff ands. H. Kimball, anda new mainsail for the schooner John O'Neil. It is rumored that the cargo of the steam- ship Davidson, ashore at Thunder Bay I[s- land, Lake Huron, consisting of 1,500 tons of hard coal, has been sold by auction for $70. Captain H. Andrews, of the schooner Nel- lie Reddington, in port on Tuesday, is one of the oldest masters on the lakes, having sailed since 1840, and being master thirty- | three years, The steamer D. D. Calvin has received her measurement, Canadian register, and is loading coal for Broadwell, after which she will go to Garden Island and receive the fin- ishing tonches to complete her. The steambarge Escanaba, in winding around the river bed on ‘Tuesday, did con- siderable damage, among other things tear- ing away the mizzengaff of the R. Halla- ran, recently in Globe drydock. The schooner Spy, wrecked at Good Har- bor and abandoned by her owner, has been purchased by Captain John Evenson, cap- tain of the life-saving station of Chicago, and Oli Hunson, who will wreck her. The pile guards to all the railroad bridges have been completed, and the work of driv ing new piles and bracing up the guards to the other bridges under the direction of Mr. ingle, who has the contract, is progressing finely. In Globe drydock the R. Hallaran received a new forefoot and had her topsides calked ; the Chisholm had her bufts calked; the tug. Florence, which sunk in the canal recently atter having a bout with the waves, was ealked all over; the-E. C. Roberts. is in at | present for calking. A slight fracas took place on the steamer Jarvis Lord, while unloading oxe at the docks in the old river bed, between the mate and some of the crew. ‘I'wo of the latter were Finlanders and set out to work or not, or go ashore and get: drunk, etc. ‘The mate protested against. boarding them under such circumstances. Trouble ensued, and in the fracas one of them was knocked down with a piece of ore, The enrollments at: the custom honse, De- troit, during the quarter ending September 30 were as follows: Permanent enrollments, sail vessels, 146; tonnage, 32,415.92; steam- ere, 138; tonnage, 34,504.53; iron stenmers, 7; tonnage, 5,327.95; barges, 11; tonnage, 2,926.19. ‘Temporary enrollment, sail vessels, 2; tonnage, 458.27; steamers, 2; tonnage 436.33.

Murphy’s wrecking tug is render ing assistance. She is ore laden for Cleveland. lofarise are dimly distant. DETROIT. Special to the Marine Record. The steamer Chief Justice Waite has dis- continued her visits to this port from ‘Toledo. Every vessel should carry a life preserver on her quarter with heaving line attached. In case of a sailor: falling overboard he van reach it sooner from that part of the ship. The Gladiator and consort, wrecking schooner Johnson, are at work rescuing the schooner George Sherman ashore in Ham- mond’s Bay, while the Michigan is held here awaiting further orders. ‘The ferry stexmers are each in their turn undergoing an overhauling at the Detroit drydock, preparatory for the winter service. The schooner Reuben Doud fs. also in dock atthe same place for.general repairs. The body of Fred Chapin, the Jad who was accidentally drowned from the steamer Gar- land September 16th, in the Detroit river, was recoveied a few days since and forward- ed to Flushing, Mich., where his relatives reside. ‘The steamer Spartan, so long delayed here since the completion of her repairs, is still a sojourner at this port, and there is a bure possibility of her going into winter quarters if something ts not ‘vomplistied toward her release. Captain John Pratt, a sailor of earlier times, and first mate of the propeller Detroit, commissioned in 1861, and also of other craft, visited this city on Friday last and found many old friends. He resides in the interior of this State. Murphy & Co., of this city, have two of their largest tugs engaged in transferring rafts through the lakes. The tug W. A. Moore is enroute with one to be landed at Cleveland, The Andrew J. Smith also has one for Port Colborne. The tug Bob Hackett, while on Lake St. Clair on Sunday morning, took fire in her upper works and was more or less damaged. Through prompt action on the part of the crew it was soon got under control. Ske wiis towed to the lower drydock in this city for repairs. Every vessel’s yawl should have her name painted on the stern, Not unfrequently a yawl is found on the beach with no name by which to identify to what vessel she be- longed. Itis hoped that vessel owners in the future will pay more strict attention to so important a matter. Arrived at Detroit October, 1818, schoon- ers Gen, Jackson, 90 tons, Captain C. Blake; Pilot, 27 tons, Captain T. Rumage; Salem Packet, 28 tons, Captain Sam Ward; Michi- gan, 132 tons, Captain Walter Norton; Ran- ger, 16 tons, Captain R. A. Naper; General Wayne, 85 tons, Captain James Rough; Ex- periment, 29 tons, Captain Simeon Fox. Prices current at Detroit in 1818 were as Flour, $8.50 per barrel; pork, $26 follows: for ties to Buffalo. The Canadian vessels Lincoln, Grimsby, Clyde and Clinton soon atter secured cargoes of wheat to. Kingston at 8c; the Senator Blood, 3c to Buffalo. ‘I'o Ogdensburg 6 is offered, and to Montreal, 7igc. Staves are the same as last reported, $6, $8. $10, with rare shipments. .'There is at present a considerable quantity of timber on hand here for shipment to Montreal, and if not sent soon will remain over until the ensuing spring. The sidewheel steamer’ Keweenaw has returned to her first love. She was built at Marine City in 1865, for Captain Eben Ward, to ply in connection with his steam- ers in the Lake Superior line, and. com- manded by Captain Albert Stewart. During the panic of 1873 and subsequent period, there were many who were struck and went under. The Keweenaw, in the meantime, has passed into various hands, unti] a few days since she reverted into the hands of her original owner with othere, and has already taken her place as formerly. Captain John 8. Sloan, who was one of .the. parties to the purchase, has assimed command, and on Saturday she took her departure for Portage, Lake Superiots#" contectton with Ward’s Lake Superior line. ‘The propeller Ontario, belonging to the Lake Superior line of boats plying between Sarnia and Duluth, with 150 passengers and a valuable cargo on board, on Friday last ran aehore during a dense fog on the east’ shore of Luke Huron, when about eight miles west of Port Elgin, and owing to the threatening appearance of the weather, was soon after scuttled. Her passengers were all safely landed on the beach ‘and camped in the woods adjoining. By acard they place much credit to Captain McMaugh for his good sea- manship during the critical period of the disaster. The tug John Owen, by permis- sion of the Canadian authorities, has gone toher relief. The Ontario was built at Chatham, Ont., in 1873, is 700 tons burden, and valued at $40,000. At this writing L am unable to state ‘What the prospects are for her release or insurance. Since the time of going ashore the weather has been in her favor. A violent gale set in on Friday last vary- ing atintervals to northeast, and continues upto the present with but little or no de- crease. Quite a number ot craft are quar- tered from the storm in the Straits, while at Sand Beach on Lake Huron and also at Port Huron a large fleet are weather bound, On. Lakes Huron and Michigan a series of dis- asters may be looked for, although at pres- ent but two are heard from. The schooner Nellie Gardner, downward bound, in tow of the propeller John Pridgeon, laden with 39,000 bushels of corn from Chicago is the first victim beard trom. ‘The storm becom- ing yery_yiglent, her tow line was cast adrift per barrel; whiskey, $39.50 per barrel ; bedi, Aime. tamer, When, soon after her rud- 10 cents per pound; corn, $1 per bushel; potatoes, 75 cents per bushel; turnips, 50 cents per bushel; cheese, 16 cents per pound ; lumber, $15 per M for first quality; butter, 26 cents per pound; port wine, 50 cents per t gallon. The official emoluments of the De- troit custom house from October Ist, 1818, to May 31st, 1819 were $195.20. There has been but little or ro change in freights since my last report, and prospects The schooner Felloweraft, a Canadian craft, after a delay here ot four or five days for grain to Kings- ton, gave it up and proceeded to Bear Creek der was disabled at Thunder Bay, and she drifted ashore at or near Scare Crow island, and ina short time she became a total loss with cargo. The Gardner was a staunch built cratt of 565 tons burden, and was built by P. Lester at Marine City in 1873, and was refastened in 1877. Her valuation is about $16,000. She was owned by John Pridgeon, of this city, who had no Insurance on her. The insurance on the cargo is $21,- 000, divided up among the “Big 4” compa- nies—the Thames and Mersey; Union, of Philadelphi; State, of Pennsylvania, and {Continued on sih page|.
