Since the last issue of this magazine the new schooner, the George
B. Cluett, arrived in Boston on October 15th, upon return from her
summer cruise on the Labrador. The George B. Cluett is a beautiful three-masted
schooner but had not been thoroughly completed before she went north early in
August, when she was chartered by Mr. W. R. Stirling of Chicago; hence the schooner
was needing repairs, especially to her engine bearings, which necessitated her
spending a short time here in dry dock. Meanwhile, the Revered Mr. Halsey and
Mrs. Halsey had come down from St. Anthony for a brief furlough and to look
after the cargo which they were to take back on the George B. Cluett as soon as
possible. Mr. Halsey brought a complete list of the needs and beside these we
had in storage many cases of clothing, etc., which the Lorna Doone was unable
to take north in June. . .
There were also wedding gifts for Doctor and Mrs. Little, and a
consignment of goods for Dr. Greeley at Pilley’s Island, where a small cottage
hospital had been opened. . .
