Newspaper Page TextFRIDAY, JANUARY 16, 1920, DAY'S SHIPPING NEWS News Up And Down Our Water Front Gathered by Our Seawise, But F resh;“‘ht'.er Reporter The liner Ypsilanti, from Ham burg via the northern route, entered port last evening enshrouded in a thick coating of sleet, the wireless tower representing a beautiful sight, with each steel member of the tall lacework encased in shimmering iee. Captain Maitland stated that about 300 miles off-shore they passed thru one of the fiercest sleet storms he had encountered for' years. ; The Clyde Line will in the near fu ture, as soon as the Government shall have turned back their steamers, put on two new 4000 ton steamships to make Brunswick, Marietta and New York. Capt. Kidd, in the old days, pirated for gold and like treasure. He would, nevertheless, have understood the ac tions of certain unknown persons yesterday, and have entertained a fellow-feeling for them. About three in the afternoon, in broad daylight, too, and right in the Marietta har bor off Fair Oaks, pirates boarded the Revenue Cutter Moorehouse, overpowered’ officers and crew still on the boat, then loaded onto a high powered launch, the bulk of a ship ment of whiskey which the Cutter had just confiscated from a small schooner caught after dark Sunday‘ within the 3-mile limit off Dodgen village. : Many persons witnessed the proce dure from a distance, but it was ac complished so deliberately that little notice was taken of it, it being sup posed that the pirates were persons engaged in legitimate business with the cutter. Owing to this the alarm was delayed and for the time the pirates made good their escape in the direction of the numerous islands and lagoons and intricate waterways along the coast south of Atlanta. It is assumed that within a few days all of drinking Atlanta will be off duty. The Schr. Laßelle has been libelled by local attorneys acting for the New York Shipbuilding Company for debt, and is temporarily in the hands of the local Court, pending proceedings to be brought Monday .next. From reports just ¢compiled for the calendar year just:ended, the gross tonnage handled by the port of Ma rietta for 1919 exceeded that for the previous year by 1,324,569 tons —and this under exceptionally hard conditions. o « We usually have to work hard for vhat we get, but occasionally some thing comes unsought to us that we didn’t know we wanted. Through the Marietta Chamber of Commerce #wve learn’ that the Italian Government has made representations to the United States Government concerniing the desirability of the establishment of a direct passenger and freight line be tween Marietta and Italian ports for the purpose of more efficient handl ing of the heavy and ever-increasing passenger traffic from the middle and western portions of the United States, which is now distributed through several eastern ports, and to‘ concentrate the traffic in products of South Georgia and Florida. The greater part of the latter have been handled through this port for several years, most of the remainder beingi handled through Miami. Government agents have recently visited Marietta to look itno the mat ter, going from here to Jacksonville, which latter port is endeavoring to divert a share of the business to it self. Some years ago Jacksonville showed every indication of becoming one of the great Atlantic ports, but‘ the great earthquake and succeeding tidal wave, which so greatly affected our own coast line, shallowed the St. Johns River to so great an extent as to make access to the city up the 16 miles of river impossible for deep seal craft. Of recent years Jacksonville has spent millions of dollars in an ef fort to open the channel to the ocean and Jreep it open and hopes soon to be in a fair way to get back part of the trade thereby lost. The Kennesaw lighthouse on top of the mountain is to lose its present keeper, John Smeadley, who will be transferred to the Roswell lighthouse Feb. Ist, and be superseded by Hor ace L. Simpkins, now in charge of the Alpharetta light. The Navasink, coastwise schooner, plying between Florida points and Baltimore, and loaded with lumber, from Miami for 8a1t0.,, began to founder from cause unknown, on the 6th instant, in the Gluf Stream off Titusville, Fla., and is now a derelict. All shinping is being warned by the Government to look out for her in the gulf Stream approximately off Jack sonville at the present time, and Government cutters are searching for her, and when located she will be blown up. : Her crew deserted her after using the pumps unsuccessfully, and the two boatloads were picked up several hours later by the Cuban steamer Habana and brought to Marietta. Next week’s sailings: 10th—Kachme, for Liverpool.

Clyde, Mallory and M. & M. boats on usual sailing dates. Airplane fish are clogging up the atmosphere just outside the harbor. Our truthful informant is the well known fisherman, of Kennesaw, Jim Mack, and it is assumed he was talk ing about flying fish. James stated he had great difficulty in dodging them and two of them, more affec tionate than the others, flew into his lap as he sat at the tiller. While this is not strictly ‘Port News’, James made a long trip over to.tell us about it and the recompense of printing it is due him. Yet, that the reader may know James, it is fair to say that whne we were on a fish ing trip to Kennesaw Inlet one day last year, we halted James as he was entering his boat and asked him whereabouts along the inlet the best fishing could be found. He informed us the fishing was no good there any more—that during the recent cloud burst all the fish were drowned. Preparations are already under way among the summer excursion steamer lines to handle what they believe will be the greatest business in their history during the coming summer. The various lines will cov er practically all the important ports of interest in foreign countries. On account of the restrictions im posed by the French Government during 1920, viewing the battlefields will be somewhat inconvenient and it is not expected that this diversion will be in full swing before the fol lowing year. Nevertheless, arrange ments will be made in ample time to care for those who desire to risk the inconvenience. Kennesaw Navy Yard News A fleet of fifteen of the most re cently constructed submarines is tied up at the docks of the Government's Kennesaw Navy Yard. Part of them will remain at the docks for the next two weeks, while the remainder move to Key West waters tomorrow. The superdreadnaught Oklahoma entered port yesterday and proceed ed to the Kennesaw Yard for slight repairs to one of her turrets, dam aged during gun practice several days ago, Scout Cruiser Des Moines left the vard Friday after a thorough over hauling. She has been in drydock for the last two months. The fifteen submarine chasers now on the ways are approximately 80 % completed and most of them are ex pected to be in the water within the ‘next month or two. New plates are being substituted in the’ port bow of the battleship lowa where a hole was stove in last month by the accidental ramming by battleship Illinois in a dense fog off Cape Henry while the two vessels were. in maneuver practice. It is reported in Government cir cles that the United States Govern ment, in connection with several for eign governments, has in contempla tion a plan for clearing a portion of the Sea of Saragossa of seaweed to render it navigable. This seems like a pipe dream but it is claimed to be now practicable at no great expense ‘and that it will serve a useful pur pose. - The merely curious and the dream ers are wondering how many dramat ic tales will be unfolded when those performing this job salvage the num ‘erous ships that have been driven by storm into this impenetrable part of ‘the ocean, and whose crews miserably perished ther®, unable to extricate ‘themselves. From the time of Colum ‘bus until the present day, ships have failed from ports and the world has never heard of them again. How ‘many of these will be discovered, as Removed by Lydia E.

But shucks! What's the use of dream ing? Let’s wzit and see. Perhaps the material for mytiads of novels lies there waiting to be used. 2 - The Government has purchased ad ditional land and holds options on still other land adjoining the Kennesaw yard and, it is stated on excellent au thority, intends in the near future to enlarge its yard and dock facilities. The climate in this section permits of practcally all-year-round outdoor work, and the nearness of Marietta to both raw materials and manufac tured products and the excellence of transportation facilities by railroad, highway and water, decided the ex penditure of a large appropriation by Congress in this location rather than on one or more further north, it is stated on the same authority. Additional hangars are soon to be erected for the navy airplanes quar tered at the Kennesaw Yard and to accommodate some twenty additional planes, with their crews, soon to be detailed. to this yard. Major Somers, ‘Commandant of the Army Airplane Field at Atlanta, is in consultation /here with Commander Freyson, of the Navy Field at Kennesaw, in connec ‘tion with the matter of obtaining ‘uniformity in certain construction !work in both fields. The gigantic airplane, Atlas, just ’completed in the Philadelphia Yard, will be flown to Marietta by her Commander, James R. Ewton, as soon as the finishing touches have been put on, and will form a part of the fleet to be aventually quartered at Kennesaw Yard, it is understood. Several ships of the line are ex pected in the harbor within the next few days, these being a part of the fleet engaged recently in practice south of here. It is likely, however, that all of these ships will join the remainder of the Atlantic fleet in North Atlantic waters without any considerable delay.

L THE MARIETTA JOURNAL filed Saturday in the Fulton counrts by Attorney Lawten Nalléy in be half of William E. Drewry, a former express messenger. Drewry was messenger on the run between Atlanta and Columbus and Atlanta and Fort Valley. He sued for alleged false imprisonment, de claring that on December 28, the two detectives took him into custody without provocation. He set out that the detectives kept him in custody for about an hour, taking him from place to place and searching his ef fects, holding him on suspicion of stealing. He was finally released, he said, when no evidence was found against him. He declared that he was arrested in the presence of a number of other persons and that he was greatly humiliated and embarrassed. Drewry was said to have resigned his position with the company follow ing this incident.—Sunday American.
