The propeller Roanoke is at this port re- ceiving freight for Duluth, and as the weath- er has set in warm and pleasant her pros- pects are good for a successful voyage. Cap- tain W. H. Bogart, her commander, is de- serving of much praise, if not of a medal, for the humanity displayed at Long Point, in rescuing the crews of the schooners Lead- ville and Blazing Star. While the storm was raging he was lying with his steamer at Port Colborne, and hearing of vessels in dif- ficulty at the Point, he set out for their re lief.

In addition to this fact it may be remarked that in making up the statistics for the season one of the great- est of difficulties isin obtaining the amount of. losses vessels have sustained, for the in- stances are very rare that the correct figures can be reached. ‘Io illustrate: A captain was asked what the repairs of his vessel amount- ed to by going ashore at Port Colborne. His_| reply was $500. On writing to Buffalo for the exact figures they were found to be $1,600.
