A Model Graft—Perfect in all Her ****“■ The John H. Cross is the name of a new three-masted schooner, now on her first voyage, under command of Captain Bawkijr, who ' has many warm friends in Brunswick:, won dar ing previous visits to oar port, as commander of the schooner bearing bis own name. Availing oneself of a hind invitation from the Captain to examine his new vessel, we on lasfc Tuesday afternoon boarded her at her dook. As we approached her we were struck with the beauty of her model and the perfect symmetry which manifested itself in every curve. She is a perfect model, and shows to a great advantage, bat it is close in side examination that brings to light her greatest points of superiority and ' .perfection. THE CROSS WAS BUILT At Waldoboro, Me., for and under the personal supervision and oare of her commander, who is justly proud of her, and is named in honor of a well known business man of New York, a member of the firm of J. A. Potter & Co. She is 1S3 feet long over all, (her keel being 135 feet long), with 34 feet beam and a depth of bold of 11} feet. Her registered tonnage is 404 tons (new measurement) and ihe ranks A1 for fifteen years. HEB HULL Is constructed of oak, Georgia pine and haokmetaok, with every attention paid and every precaution taken to insnre strength, as well as beauty of model. In addition to her main keel son, she has three others, each fifteen inches thiok, placed on top of each other, ranning through her entire length, and secured by enormous iron bolts, thus giving her, we may say, a keelson at least five feet deep, snd rendering any spring or nnstability almost impossible. Into these enor mous timbers are secured her masts, three magnificent sticks of Canada pine, whioh cost, in the rough, the Captain informs us, $1,000. The sperfal regard for strength manifested in her keel, is apparent in every part of her hull In every place where it is practicable, her timbers are double and even triple, and every pre caution is taken that she shall excel in strength. Every timber .was sought and cut in the woods to oooupy a spe cific place, and, consequently, every timber is exactly the right shape, with the grain of the wood running entire ly through it, and in ho instance has a timber been forced into position or cat into shape, either of which would have a tendency to create a defective spot Every portion of her hull is mortised and bolted into position.— In a word, she is as strong as solid timbers, iron bolts and science can make her. A prominent shipper of this city says that she surpasses any craft that he ever saw, he having ex amined her when her hold was on tirely empty. He says that he was udder the impression that he had seen strongly t>'uilt vessels,' but this excels them all HEB DECK Is of white pine,, constructed of pieces three and one-quarter inches square, which, were seasoned for twelve months before laying, and subse quently thoroughly oiled, all danger of warping, cracking and leaking be ing, therefore, removed. # THE CABIN Is (beautifully finished with ash and walnut, whioh is almost as handsome os our Georgia curly pine and walnut The cabin consists of two main rooms—the dining room and parlor, as we may term them— with apartments for the Geptaip and first and second mates, and two spare staterooms, with two berths in each, a pantry, and numerous little closets or lockers, and other conveniences, one of which is a plentiful snppiy of water, a la city mansions. The cabin is handsomely carpeted and furnish ed, which, toother with the high fin ish of the walls, heightened by suffi cient bronze to look neat but not gau dy, presents a truly beautiful and in viting appearance. The Captain has * .•I**, anfrit heeds bat' smiling Cue of woman to make it that heart desire as a home. The Captain informs ns that rfl wil accompany him on his next trip, so ^ moaa ± PteR a® *» THE TOTAL COST .1 u Of the Cross fas $28,800, for which amount she cOnld hot nttfflle built, as the contracts were made when the necessary material was much lower than at present. It is an intesesting fact to our people that three-sixty- fourths of this vessel are owned in Savannah, mostly by Mr. R. B. Rep- pard, who is one of the largest ship pers from this port, and five-sixty- fourths are owned by residents of our own little city, being divided between J. M. Madden, D. J. Dillon, 0. H. Dexter, Robert Christopher, colored, and one of the pilots. HEB COMMANDER. We cannot close this sketch with- ont a few words in relation to the man who oommands this beautiful craft. Captain Rawley was born in the year 1832, in the town of Si. George, Knox oounty, Me, and is a splendid specimen of the whole-souled New England sea captain. He has followed the sea for forty years, hav ing made his first voyage at the ten der age of ten years. He says of himself that he “came over the bow and worked himself aft,” having served in every capacity known to a merchant vessel He told us confi dently that of them all his preferences leaned a little toward his present po sition. In conclusion, we would say that we feel unable to do justice to either the Captain o. his craft, so dose this attempt with the assertion that the fortunes qf a nobler craft and a more gallant Captain were never linked to- longb there aw numbers of Le- Conte or sand pear trees in this sec tion, we Jbbve heard of no fruit so for until now. Jim Carter, our barber, To The Democracy ol Glynn, Gam- den and Charlton. It is with much pleasure and satis faction, that we, J. A. Lowther and Capt. R. N. Ring, the Committee ap pointed by the Democratic party, which met in convention at Owens’ Ferry, on the Satilla river, on thel2tb inst., to call upon Mr. James Thomp son, and notify him of their choice and election of him as the candidate for Senator from the Fourth senatori al district, can make a favorable re port of their interview with him on that occasion. He has accepted the nomination, and we now say to the voters of Glynn, Camden and Charl ton counties, to keep it uppermost in their thoughts that they have a good substantial man of the Democratic stamp now before them in the person of Mr. Thompson, the nominated and accepted candidate to represent the people of Glynn, Camden and Charl ton in the Georgia Senate, and that it behooves ns all, as Democrats, to stand np for our nominee, and do all we can to insnre bim a successful vic tory in the race now before ns, during this campaign, which is not to the swift, but to the vigilant, and aotive workers in the political contest be tween Radicalism and Democracy. Committee. Traders Hill, Ga., Aug., 18th 1882. A Need. We again make a special appeal for a wholesale diy goods establishment exolnsive. Merchants from the in terior frequently come here to buy their groceries (because they can bny cheaper here th gn in Savannah) bnt go on to Savannah for their dry goods, simply because we have no wholesale dry goods house, kept as snoh. Two years ago it was thought that a wholesale grocery establish ment wouTd do nothing here. The experiment proves that several have been successfully ran. The same would be true of dry goods, clothing, boots and shoes. Who will make the move? A Heavy Stock. Mr. A Y. Wood has on his yard to day 2153 casks spirits turpentine and 19525 barrels rosin, worth abont $105,000. Quite a nico little amonnt to be collected together in one spot Meanwhile he is continually making heavy shipments. •• believe, are the first raised in this vicinity, except, probably, on Mr. W. W. Hair's; .plip** ‘Thdie 'ehowp jfo (not yet ripe) measured four inches length and nine in dronm- ference. We may/ reasonably expect to hear of quantities of this fruit next year, at then are quantities of pear trees all over town, planted the season after those above mentioned. There is no reason why every lot in town should not contain several of these trees, for they certainly thrive well here, the seacoaat being its native home. Attention. Croakers. For your especial benefit we band you below a statement of the amount of shipping received here in the last few days by water carriage alone, viz: Sohoonor Lula Ammerman, cargo of coal from Baltimore. Brig Myronus, cargo general mer chandise from New York. Schooner Matilda Brooks, general cargo from Now York. ' Schooner H. and J. Blenderman, 5,000 sacks salt from New York. Now quit your croaking and go to work to help on instead of retard ench as this.
