Dominion liner fleet shifts and arrivals at port
Among cabin passengers arriving at the port is J. F. Masters, New England superintendent of the Dominion Atlantic Railway. The Dominion line fleet includes Boston, Prince Baward, Prince Arthur, Prince George, Yarmouth, and others. Changes next year may see Prince boats from Yarmouth and others routed between New York Halifax and intermediate points. Catalone's coal cargo from Cape Breton posts a strong total for the month and year. Adria, captained by Knuth, faced severe gales before docking near Boston Light. Vancouver of the Dominion line is slated to serve Europe from Liverpool today, while Phenix from Matanzas bears a scant coal bunk. Isle of Kent repairs proceed slowly as plans for a large tug fleet are proposed by Baltimore Drydock. Prince Edward heads south to Miami Havana with a 42-strong crew led by Captain Lockhart. Captain Stanwood leaves Prince George in winter quarters with other officers aboard.
