He is described as a smooth-faced roan of rueauua stature with monkey-jacket and other clothing of the cm usually worn by sailors. Captain Nelson is the third man missed here within the past week. It was expected that the police would recover the body of the unknown man who was drowned off Cherry street bridge at a late hour on Monday evening, but thorough dragging of the river near the spot where cries were heard failed to bring it to the surface.—Milwaukee Sentinel, ISth. On last Friday evening the schooner Clara Parker arrived from Muskegon with a cargo of lumber, and on Saturday evening her owner, ti.

OP thk Pami.ico's Charter.—The "Toledo Blade of Saturday says: ¦•Tnis morning Messrs. Andrews & Southard made the best charter of the season, tor some time past thev have been making negotiations, and now they report tlie charter of the brig Pamlico to carry pine | lumber from Sheboygan, Wis., direct to Europe, at 80,500 ¦ gold. This is one of the besC if not the best charter, that has been made, and shows that although times are hard, we can still ship goods direct to Europe and make money at it The famlico is now at Buffalo loading with coal for Chicago. After delivering this she will immediately go to Sheboygan and commence loading. In four weeks another lake vessel will be crossing the briny deep. " For. Europe.—The schooners "Twin Sisters and Famlico have Both been chartered to carry cargoes of pine from Lake Michigan to Liverpool, England, or some other port on that coast. The Twin Sisters will carry 8-inch pmo piank and-the Pamlico square pine timber. Both of these vessels have been out beiore and came back safely, and it is hoped will do the same this time, in case the owners conclude to have them return. Captain Strachan, of the Twin Sisters, is an old and reiiabie navigator, having sailed out of Europe as master of large vessels for many years, and is thoroughly acquainted in that part of the world. The commander of the Pamlico is also a navigator and practical man, and is acquainted in nearly all the European ports. Consequently there is little tea r bat that both boats will make their trips with ss - of the Schooner Mass!lion Escape. -The Crw ^1 Our Port Huron dispatch says: "The bark Mas-sillon, with a cargo of limestone for Chicago, sprung aleak in the middle of Saginaw Bay and foundered yesterday morning at 2:30.

A telegram to the cUily p&floiS » few days ago gave a brief account of a ibrlllirtg &o>»»' ture on Lake Erie—bow the mate of the" schooner Chandler J. Wells (Mr, Maurloe Langan) was washed overboard at one o'olook In the morning, during a frighifel gale, how he was bravely rescued by the oaptaln and two of the crew In an open boat, mi how, after several' hours battling with the waves, they landed safely In Port Talbot, and were humanely oared for by Mr, Sanders, of that place, Following Is the mate's narrative of the adventure:—" I came on deck at twolva midnight. The vessel was heading up. We were ther nboul twelvexa fifteen miles bslow Rondeau, Canada side of Lake Erie, Captain Langan ordered me to get the anohor and chains ready for anchorage, so he oould run in under Kondeau Point and coma to anchor, as it was blowing a gala of wind down against us and a heavy sea running, I went forward and ranged the chains and got all ready to let go, when a sea struokme, carrying me clean overboard, outside the fore on {he lee fide, Oae of the sail-ore, Wm. MoGee, who was at work helping close by, was knocked down on the deck. The vessel was going about ten milts an hour, passing me taptdly. When under the lee quarter my brother, the captain, threw me the wheel oover, a wooden bos about 3 j or 3 feet squire, and about 8 or 9 inches deep. He hailed me at the same time, asking me if I had held of the box, I answered baok 'Yes, I have,' 'Hold on to it,' Save be, ' I will piok you up.' I got it under my chest and it supported me pretty well, and I could keep ray head towards the sea by swimming with rr.y legs just enough to do so, Oiherwiee I would have been swept off by the heavy seas, for some of them did sweep over me, nearly strangling me and taxing my strength. The box, siid the worss of cheer my brother the captais gavo, sustained me with the hope and lnspbod me with the feeling that I wculd be saved. The sky was clouded and overcast, It was raining hard, the air was cold, and it was as awfal and cheerless a night as well amid be. The sea washed over me like' a continuous waterfall. I kept as quiet as I possibly oculd, reserving my eneroiey, and was as self-possessed as one could be under suoh circumstances. It csuld not have been more than half an hour before I heard the oheeilng voice of my noble brother calling 'Mauiloe,' I oould not see the brat, but I heard his h»:l and I answered, 'Here; all right,' He answered again, 'Sang on; I w'll icon be with you.' Soon the boat could be seen by me, my brother, the oaptaln, standing up in the bow, the two others pulling. He hailed, 'la that you, Maarioe2' net seeing ma. I answered, ' Yej; be careful not to his me with the boat,' The cap-ttm soon caught me from the bow cf the beat, calling the second mate to aid him. They soonjarded me Inside the boat and saved me from an awful death. We ooali tee the vessel's red light and we pulled for hours to try and catch her, keeping our beat's head to sea and shipping a good deal of water. We need the cap oi McGee to ball it out, Soon after daylight, finding we could not catoh the vessel, she being out of Bight, we put the host before the wind for the beach, where we landed at Port Talbot. The boat capsized In landing her on the beach, catching the second mate and MoGee under her. The captain pulled them out and they got ashore In safety, badly exhausted, but all grateful to God for their deliverance," The shipwrecked mariners were taken to St. Thomas, and provided with a pass to Buffalo over the Canada Southern Railway, Their boat, manned by five of the orew, reached Buffalo harbour in safety. „F9B SAGINAW Af*B Goderich, Bay City, Tuwas, Alabaster, Caseville Port Austin, Port Hope, Smd Beach, calling at Goderich, Ont.
