A PRETTY VESSEL

ONE of the prettiest little vessels seen in St. John’s this spring is now at Baird, Gordon & Co.’s wharf. She is new, being only off the stocks a few weeks. Her builder is Captain E. Peddle, who also owns and commands her. She was built in Hodge’s Cove, S.W. Arm of Random, T. B., and is the work of competent builders, who have constructed her especially for bounty. Her name will be the Alfrida, and will be registered by Mr. Alcock. Her crew say that she is A Splendid Sailer and a most trustworthy ship, having been out in last Friday’s storm, and came through unscathed. The vessel will be used at the Labrador fishery this summer, and is now taking supplies for same. Captain Peddle has shown himself to be a first-class builder, and is to be congratulated on being the owner of such a splendid schooner.
