February 26th, 1890
—ONLY ONE.—We are to have but one vessel out of this port at the coming seal fishery—Capt. Levi Frost’s schooner, the Lizzie. This vessel is now receiving the necessary outfit, and will leave for the ice-helds on the 1st March should opportunity offer. Capt. James Parsons, jr., will be in charge of her. Capt. Frost deserves credit for his enterprise and we trust a good trip of seals may be the result of his venture. The ardent wish of our townspeople now is—would that we had more sailing vessels out at the Seal Fishery!
