Water water and laundry of ships headlined in Boston news
In Boston the water tender Kelly of the collier Merrimac is missing after the ship sailed without him. Friends say he was aboard during the Merrimac voyage and later was kept in service off Santiago. Marblehead crew claim Kelly went for water and returned to find the vessel gone, leaving him on the island with minimal clothing. He reportedly wrote Washington seeking return after being shanghaied, while others speculate his fate. Meanwhile Aldermen approve a $63,511 appropriation for street watering and related matters as the city handles railroad land petitions and electric wiring permits.
