That probably accounts, for the fact inat tho vessels Seeking shelter al tills pint last night did not attempt to cntti iln-ru. The lower bridge tendeis, however, wero kept very busy. We think It Is snfe to say iliat no vessel can conic the dodge on, the Clevelauil break water that the jumping schoonei at Chicago did, as no one has yot 'been able to get any where near it ill a gale. It Is believed that if a vessel were headed directly for the end of tho breakwater It would be impossible in strike It, owing to tho current. Preparatory to getting away, jcsteiday the steamer Smith Mooro done, slight dam¬ age to the schooner M. S. Bacon, striking' her on the starboard bow. Captain Wu.

Captain Thomas Murphy, sub-contractor lor tho building ot tho new steamer Waldo Avoiy at Wheeler* Crane's yard, Bay City, has returned to hU home, and is now look- lug tor a good place to go Into tfio shlpbulld. lug business.

Much repair work will bo done at Lorain during (he approach¬ ing w Inttnynnd It Is possible that tbe schoon¬ er M.

The Globe Iron shipyard now presents the busy aspect'contingent upon tbe laying of tl 0 keel foi a new Iron fi eight steamer, which will be to great a extent a duplicate ol the Win Chisholm just launched, that |« she will be 240 feet keel and 2113 feet over all, 87 tcct beam nnd -33 feet depth of hold. We will fui ther note the progress trom time to time. It lias been the custom of this Arm, after having secured a good gifligof men for iron shipbuilding, to keep them nt work, nnd oonsldi'i Ing that the growth and pros- parity of the country, widths promise of the demand for-lake steamers In years to come will warrant the enterprise of a llrst class boat, they do not hesitate to cutoi- upon Its construction. Tho steamer Pearl will lay by at Detroit foi a tew davs. vuLuru. Special to the Marias ltecord Williams tSrUphnm have secured the con tract fur tho Improvements to bo made to the harlioi this fall.

The Heiald thinks ;here Is no reason why tin' shipbuilding industry ar that poit should not > lol<l as large a profit to the capitalist as any other Investment. I'bero is plenty ol oak growing within fitly miles of Uuluth, and- the swamps are full of Tamarac tor knees Iron tould surely be secured up in this legion as cheap as an) whore else on tbe lakes. All It wants issninbody with capital alid a ceitaiu degiee ol push to Inaugurate Iliat Industry In Uuluth, and trhcrois not the slightest doubt that It would prove a pa) jug investment. illIHer & Montague arc loading the Celtic with wheal.

There was a great fulling oft In the num¬ ber of lumber vessels on the market this week. * J. B.

The stpam barge Oscoda, Captain Alex Sin¬ clair, arrived Monday with 620,000 feet of lumber iioin Au Sntiblfi. She also brought along the barge Win. Young with 320,000 feet ol lumber. At the Chicngo Diydock Company's yard tho*tug Rebel w as In drydock for n "now shoo and calking; the propeller Cuba for a new ' wheel and cnlklng; the stenmbargo Swallow for a new stern bearing; the Schooner Lotus to get n leak stopped; the steaiiibarge R.

Vesselnien are looking very blue In con¬ sequence of the very low freights, which are unexampled al this season of the year, nnd many of them are talking seriously of laying up their vosscls as they do not sec any chance of Improvement. At Allllei Brothers' drydock the barge Mnrlnette waj In to get a leak stopped; the tug Black Ball No. 2 Is getting six new frames and considerable new plank,, now stringers, covering board mid'rail on her staiboard side; tho schooner M.

Sfeciat to the Marine Record A Inrge qunntlty of coal Is being brought to this port and considerable delay 1» expe¬ rienced iu consequence of the poor arrange¬ ments for unloading nt some of the coal yard docks. Tho new stoambarge Waldo A. Avery nr- - rived at this port Friday with over 18,000 bairelsof suit from Bay City, where she wig bulk by Wheeler & Crane.' She hns a very One appearance and fs flttcd with every modern improvement. Her owners, Mos6r». Hawgood and Avery, wero on board, as wns also Mr. Wheeler, her builder, and they were justly proud of their very hnndspme ship: /VtWolf & Davidson's shipyard the pro¬ peller .1. I;. Hind is in drydock. She was badly hogged and has been straightened. Her hull is being strengthened by the addi¬ tion of one extra bolt In each strake and frame. Her arches and scarp arc also being refiistened with extra bolts She will also get about thirty feet of new frames and one- half of her bottom miiile new, which will make her stronger and better than she wns before going oil the reef. The scow.OJdfol- lo.w was on tho dock for calking. Soma life has at last been infused Into Mil* waukee tugmaii, and vessels will profit ac¬ cordingly. Heretofore there havo been two lines at this port, but for years there has been a compact between them that has pre - vented actlvo opposition. Now a new boat, the John Evnnsnii, has been plaeed In ser¬ vice, in opposition to the regular lines, and die lattor have concluded to put on two extra boats to do night service. It Is quite proba¬ ble that In the future the Milwaukee tugs wlll-occasloiiiilly go below North Point nf- tei tows. The schooners Joseph Paige and C. C. Tru in pit, which are temporarily laid up at Milwaukee, on aooiim of tho dullness In freights, arc at the shipyard receiving ex- .tensive repairs. Tho Pillge is receiving en¬ tire new decks and hatch combings, and the Trumpfl part new duckfs and general repairs. The cost ol the work on the Trumpfl will Ijc about |700. 11. J Hamilton has purchased the lug A. S Piper from George bpear tor $.'1,000. On account ol (he dullness In freights the schooners LIbbic Nan, Spartan, James Gar-" rett, M. L. Collins, and Supply have been stripped, and the Itasca and II. M. Scovu placed In ordlniuy. The atennibiirge D, C. Whltnoy grounded nt the Northwestern Fuel Compnny'sdock, aniriii attempting to work herself oil, un- deimined the dock, which gave away with several hundred tons of coal. The new stcambarge Jois is being rapidly got rondy., The carpenters are very busy nt her cabins nnd pilot house. J. Sheriffs hns built nnd put in her engine, which IS high pressure,, 20x24, and the bollor, 7x13, hns boon sunjHlcd-by Johnson Bros,, Ferrysburg.

Gllmore, loaded with coal iindoll for Elk Rapids, ran ashore about 0110 mile north of Sand Bench, Tues¬ day forenoon. A tug nnd lighters went to her assistance and got hor afloat at 1 o'clock in tho alternoon. Tho cnptaln thinks she is uninjured. 1
