Previous ‘to going to Preaqu’ Isle to blow up the schooner ‘Trenton, he sounded the buttom of the bay in several places, but without finding the raft. He found however, inside Cedar Island, ata Point far removed from the place where the raf¢ was supposed to be, four-large sticks of oxk in an excellent state of preservation, and will at once take steps to rave them, He is of the opinion that these sticks never belonged to the ratt, but thinks they were hauled out on the Ice by timber cutters and Went down before they could be removed. Vhe search P osecuted, CAPTAIN GOLDSMITH AND PROGRESS, The steamer Progress, which has been making rapid trips between this port and Exscunuba, leaves this port this morning for Buffalo, where she loads coal fur Milwaukee, a brief change in her sailing for the pact month or two, She would have got away Monday but for the breaking of an eccentric to her engine, one of the few slight miehaps she has ever had. Her master Captain L. B. Goldsmith is one of the most successful, if hot one of the oldest commanders on the lakes. The former is evidenced by the good THE for the raft will be further | time his vessel hug made this season, and the significant fact that while the ship Progress hails trom Milwaukee her master’s home Is In Kingsville, this state. ‘Nhat he is now sixty-four years old, and sailed ever since he was a lad of twelve years, undoubtedly es- tablishes his claim as among the oldest men on the lakes. The tirat cratt in which he sniled was the schooner called the Alert, and the next the schooner Columbue. ‘The latter was 2 vessel of about sixty five tons burden, and both were largely engaged in trade be- tween this’ port and Buffalo, sometimes ‘I'o- ledo, Detroit, and Chicago, and in the daye betore harbor tugs were brought into use und each vegsel made her harbor under sail. The first veesel Captain Goldsmith com- manded was the schooner Minerva, but in a year or two he came in command of the Flor- ida, which was counted among the twenty or thirty wrecks toward the close of the sexson of 1844, She ‘ound her grave nbout two miles from Point Abino, on the Canada side, hav- nginher at the time Akron flour, pork, hemp, and high wines. In 1855 Captain Goldsmith came in command of ‘the first steamship he ever sailed. pire State, which, in the following year had her engine taken out of her and put into a new steamer called the Western Metropolis and the old hull used for drydock purposes. The Western Metropolis, with the City ot Buffalo, the Michigan Southern, and North- ern Indiana, the firet two being 350 feet over all, and the latter 303 feet, were four tine passenger vessels sniling between this port and Buffalo, sometimes Buffalo and Toledo, and in other years making all three ports. They did an immense trade and passenger traffic up tothe era of the Lake Shore rail- road) when they were bought up by the lat- ter-e rporation. During these years on the lakes Captain Goldsmith sailed as mate one sexnson in the schooner Albany, which was Jost about two years atter she wae builtin a voyage between Mackinaw and the Sault in the days when schooners carried passengers. She had on board at the time she went ashore 125 passengers, all of whom were taken off, but the vessel herself, although nearly new, was abandoned by her owners.- Several vears afterward, however, with better wreck- ing facilities, she was got off by another company and is said to have done successful sailing for nearly twenty-five years. A schooner called the Scotia, built by Messrs. Gilbert & Haycox, at this port, at a point on the river just below Superior street, is an- other vessel with which Captain Goldsmith had todo. He took a band in rigging her out, and was so engaged when the news of the burning of the steamer Griffith was re- ceived at this port. ‘This dreadful calamity, which coat several hundred, passengers their lives, took place a short distance this side ot Willoughby ereek, in about the year 1857,— Leader.
