Captain Joseph Kemp of the tug Vesta secured the 3600 ton coal laden Louise B Crary from Baltimore with assistance from the schooner Pallas off South Boston. The wind bound fuel fleet marks one of the first arrivals of calm weather coal lighters, while two new four masted ships, William H Yerkes and Thomas S Dennison, each carrying 5000 tons, approach the harbor. Both vessels launched last August are commanded by twin brothers Willard Wade and Millard Wade, sharing launch month, tonnage, brokers, shippers, and freight rates, making their first port call a mirrored event for local mariners.
