THE MARINE RECORD- [Continued from 1st Page.] DKTiiorr, Sptctal It thtNarint Record.

Yo6V Id ilny (Sunday) the steambarge D. D. £al- vln passed down on her second- trip of the season with large cargoes of timber laden on (our large barges, beside her own freight, (roro the Bay, aggregating J0O.000 cubic feet, dint Is 20,000 on each vi'saol. 'J he couveu- encos lor ihipplng timber from Georgian Buy aro far better than ut many oilier points, as It Is not disturbed by rough Weather as It Is on the hike shore, w here It has to be ilnatpd out to the vessel nt anchor; and In- tlio event of violent weather a vessel may be two weeks taking on n cargo. There was a greater number of craft pass¬ ing here yesterday either way than on any previous Sabbath this sensqn, notwithstand¬ ing the reports that many are In ordinary. Numerous complaints are made this sea- con of the neglect of the keepers of fog sig¬ nal stations in not paying stricter attention Co the sounding of the whistle In thick or foggy weather, the fault being more on Lake Michigan than 'elsewhere. Can it be that the beeper sleeps at his post. It would al¬ most seem so, yet It does not always do to i present judgmont-too hastily. There have also been Instances where keepers of light¬ houses have been more or less dertlecr. The propeller Delaware, bound up, laden with metchandlse,left hero on Friday night, and on reaching'the locality of the St. Clair iaiiul, got ashore about one mile to the east- unrd of the light. There is positive evi¬ dence that the light lending into the canal n.ia not lit that night and tlmt the .same neglect had occurred on- former occasions. In this Instance It entailed an expense oJJ > o\ or $.">00 before the steamer was released, be#lde a detention of thirty-six hbuis. Last evening, at the commencement ol church services, when every bend Was boned In pTFayci' and all was as quiet as It should be In u house of worship, there came three of those unearthly screeches from tlio whistle ol a propeller passing down, which startled every one in the city, in Its remotest parts, to say nothing of those in attendance upon lellglous exercises. However soothing or iiMruotlve that pandemonium may have In en to those Interested, there Is no exouso, reason or apology for it, and It Is almost of nightly ooeuripnce. Someol these whistles iry far worse tl/hn others, and are sufficient lo lift the tln/rooT from n church. The schooner George Sherman, uliich dls ill ifged a cargo of wood at this port the lut- tei part of the week, whs libelled (or claims •Wcgatlug $8,507.07 mid w as Immediately tiul up. Those claims are for supplies, re- pilrs, towing and seaman's wages, all of which is.due to residents of Cleveland. The vessel Is a three-masted schooner, was built nt Cloveland and has been twenty-two years rflout. Sho is worth about $(.,000, but If sold nt marshal's sale would not rcnlUe more than half that sum. During the week past ten cargoes ol wheat have beon shipped from hero for Oswego und Buffalo respectively. The lowest figure was 1" Biillulo, at lj8c. The propeller Cauuda bus been lying at Windsor awaiting a char¬ ier with faint prospects of securing one. Freights from here to Canadian ports are chiefly on owner's account, und aru few and fur between. . Casting my eye on the passers-by this af¬ ternoon I saw two steamers that for some time past lmvo been almost forgotten, yet In 'holr palmy days they lanked among tlio Ihiest of the fleet. One, thcS. D. Caldwell, lias been nfloat twenty-two years, and atone llmo was one of the most popular on tlio Lake Superior louto. She has survived hosts of others as well ns neaily all the mus- "rs who oncd pulled the hells. The othei, 'ho Aioxes, bus boon twenty-eight veins In turvleo, and pHed litany yenis between lluf- !"lo and Toledo. Thero are to-day upward of' -1,000,000 bushols of grain on tlio passage to Buffalo on board of vessel) to lower laks ports, the Trojfeht on which Is no better tlmt) from De¬ troit t0 same pouits.- 'he ateambargo V. II. Kolcham arrived iro on Frlday'wlth one of hor englnos bro¬ ken. The accident took pluee'on tlio passage down, but she managed to reach Buffalo and return 1 ero with one engine. The steambarge Thomas W, Palmer claims to have made (lie run from the Sault to Do- trolt with two barges In tow In thirty-three hours. And here la another. The steam- barge J. H. Farwell wlili two bargoa In towi from Detroit to Duliith and returning by way of Mffrquette, In fifteen days. It took the old steamboat Superior thirteen days to go to the Sault and return, and she went It alone In 1822. A squall the other day drove the schooner Benedict to the Canada side of the river, where she fetched up alongside of a dock unharmed. The schooner Wawanosh has beert+egu- larly employed all season in irelghtlugcoal from Luke'Erle ports to Sarnla, and is lowed osch wny by the tug Jcislo. ' The new Bteel steamers building at Wyun- dotte have nearly all their machinery In and one will be ready for launching in about u week. They are line specimens of naval architecture and of mammoth proportions. The BChooner J. C. Hill has had her name ("changed to Dan Maybee, and it isjisserted has improved her looks. As she has been some twenty five years afloat, It ought to be encouraging to her owner, and tbls-too on Lake Michigan, where all the old lower lake traps seek a new lease of life. The large steamer City of Rome U here with her engine badly broken, which hap¬ pened ofl Presque Isle, Lake Huron, on ErU day. It was a sort of an explosion doing con¬ siderable dambge to her cabin, mockery- ware, etc., etc. The large Montgomery, fprmorly the propeller of that name, arrived hero on Sun¬ day laden With Iron ore tor this pbrt, w hich the consignees refused to receive. Her cap¬ tain yesterday employed the tug Oneldu to tow him to Lake Erie, tliuiico she will gull to Cleveland and discharge. The steambarge Ogemaw upward bound, ibroke Upr machinery on Lake St. Clair Sun¬ day, and returned to this port^.for repairs. Such accidents are of dully occurrence and more frequent than InJotmcrtimes. The weather bus b,ccn**very Haini fbFsev al days, with light southwest winds. A Detroit party has in hand the raising of the tug Belle King, sunk some years since, down at Put-In-Bay. Three times she -has been raised to the surlace, mid euqh time dlsuppeniod, owing to the chains giving away. To-day they took steamer again for the scene of operations, seemingly some¬ what more hopeful of-the task The sunken vessel Is worth $3,000., Captain S. A Murphy is negotiating w Ith M. Engleuiiui, of Manistee, to raUe the pio poller Ironsides, which foundered ofl Grand Haven a Ion yours age. It Is the opinion of the ownors of the sunken pinpeller that her hull is still good. The Ironsides was at one time the finest propeller mi the likes, and was engaged In the passenger and freight trutllc between Milwaukee and Giuud Ha ven. " J W.

Captain Ojson, of the B. F. Bruce, reports no ow ner found as yet for tl)o yacht picked up In Luke Huron on 'Ills-last trip. He has written to parties at several of thoports near where she Was found and will doubtless re. celve Information as to her ownership und the circumstances under which he was oast away, on his return trip. On Saturday luorning lust u six years old son of Captain Hpovur, of the schooner Helvetia, playing with a companion about the deck of the ves¬ sel as she lay In the slip between' the ore docks, went oveibnard. He was hardly un¬ der water, however, before his elder brother, Chup'ln Hoover, second mate of the ship, though only 10 years oldLwas overboard and after him and had the lad aboard again In a trice none the worse for his ducking. It was u prompt and plucky action, deserving of mention, though both son and father Insist that It wasa matter of course. Why wouldn't he? It's that quick comprehension of the thing to be done and such'promptnesa In doing it that makes successful men, the stud' heroes ure made of, afloat or ashore. The barges C. N Pratt, Captain J.
