BARQUE SHAKESPEARE

STRANDED IN THE BALTIC. GIVEN UP AS TOTAL LOSS. (United fresa Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, December 21. Once a passenger cairier and later a well-known trader in Australia, the barque Shakespeare recently grounded in the Baltic and was given up as a total loss while bound for London with Finnish firewood. The British mate (L. P. Marshall), who was compelled to serve under a foreign flag in order to qualify as a pilot owing to the absence of any British square rigger, said: “1 am afraid we asked for it. We sailed from Pitea, in the Gulf, of Bothnia, on a Friday, with 13 of a crew. The ship’s cat deserted the last day in. port. The Shakespeare sprang a leak, and the pumps were unable to cope with the inflow. Fog and head winds continued till the vessel stranded on Friday.” The Seven Seas Club has the Shakespeare’s bell for summoning its members to dinner.
