Mysterious Disappearance of Schooner Captain Amid Westbound Plan
The Calais lumber schooner Tiron, Capt William Hooper, arrived May 2% from Calais Me with 109000 feet of lumber for Cambridgeport owner William H Woods. Hooper collected about 191 for freight then boarded a car toward Bowdoin square with Mate Harry Main. He told the mate he was going as far as the cars would carry him and vanished. Hooper, 29, had a blameless record rising from before the mast. Main telegraphed owner H Q Boardman awaiting instructions. A well dressed man fell overboard near Lewis wharf possibly the missing captain, who may have mistaken the vessel’s location.
