MARINE, 2 - -- The yacht Skylark was in port for a) few hours on Saturday afternoon, ° A wooden whitewashed day beacon hws been erected by the Collins Inlet L imber Co, on One Tree Islandin the » | western entrance to Collins' Inlet. The schooner Todman arrived on Saturday evening with a cargo of salt for local merchants. A portion ot the |eargo was CET at the town wharf. The steamer Cambria bas been taken off the dry dock at Port Huron and towed to Sarnia, where she will remain until the inzurance mattara are adjust- if|ed. The steamer will not go into com- mission again this fall. Beck's tugs Shawanaga and Cham- | berlain came in to go on the dry dock. The shoe of the former waa repaired and the bull caulked. The Chamber- g lain, which was the first to go on the dock, came off on Saturday after recel- ving some caulking. The steamer Carmona of the Brown Line, came into port Sunday morning about ten o'clock. This steamer has completed her season on the Windsor- Soo route and will go into winter quarters, It is probable that the winter will.be spent here. If so some Improve- ments will be made. The Parry Sound yacht, Emma, {arrived in port Sunday morning with "| a Tew @xcursioniste from Parry Sound. Shortly after her arrival the captaid _| was notified by the collector of customs not to leave port, having violated the law regarding the carrying of passen- gers outside of certain limits. On|® account of the day being Sunday, the captain waa not served with formal notice and he left in the evening for the northern port. Messrs. Noble Bros, Co., have décided to fit out their steamer J. J. Long and '} put herinto commission immediately. The present arrangements are that the steamer will make two trips each week asfarup as Newport, making Owen Sound the terminus of one trip and '| Collingwood of thé other. Capt. Thos- Hill has been engaged as captain, and Mr, W, Bemrose as mate. It is expec- ted that the steamer will leave here on Mondays after 'Asrival of Toronto trains. . Another tidal-wave-struck our-tittie | bay on Thureday evening sweeping everything before it. 'The water along the beach rose to the height of four feet above ita usual heigh® washing boate and loge off the shore like _|matches, and moving boat houses away out of their position. Crowds '| gathered 6h the shore to witness this strange phenomona, and many and varied were the opinions expressed as | tc to the cause. This is the second orla third one within the past year that/R '| bas visited us, each time doing more or less damage.--Gore Bay Guide. ol The Mackinac season is over and the| M E ™ Se & mw a a a oo -- oe, = = Ct ee -- ee Bee | + a Lael ma =k &F ope large steamers City of Collingwood and Majestic have gone out of commission. Both ateamers did a large businees, the number of passengers carried exceed. | ,; ing any previous year. Owing to/,, these steamers being taken off the Soo | (-, route come changes have be made in the sailing days of the others, The}, City of Midland now leaves on Tuee-/ ;, days, the Pacific on Thursday, the/ ~ City of Parry Sound on Fridays and | sy the Atlantic on Saturdays for the Soo] 7, and intermediate ports. The Northern | y Belle which is now doing the entire business on the North Shore will leave here at half past one o'clock on Mon- days and Thursdays. It is expected hee that these arrangemente will be con- tinued until the close of the season, ra The steamer Pacific came very near /;,, meeting with a serious accident on her {trip down this week, says the Gore Guide. In coming down the Sault River, she was caught in a heavy fog. Unable to proceed with safety she ran her bow into the mud on the bank of |" the river, a echeme resorted to quite '|frequently by boata caught in like predicament. The river was, however, very narrow at thie point, and the current strong, and her bow had no '}sooner struck in the mud than her stern caught by the current swung round down stream and she lay broad- side on the bank. Inthe meantime a steam barge, grain laden, which had followed her down the river, tried the -|game experiment on the other side of '|the river directly opposite the white liner, with the aame result: "Her stern swung round with. great speed and eo great was her length that. ehe just 'Thrushed the side of the Pacific as she ll passed. Had her length been but two 'or three feet greater, or the ricer but '}a little narrower, the lighter craft '| would" certainly have been badly wrecked. As it was, the.share was eo. '| close, the captain says it fairly made [hie bair stand on end. ' 24 Ort fF ee 2 2 PA Pee ee Pear Pal
