"The ship was placed in service early in O ctober. " GLENEAGLES was a very impressive and handsome vessel indeed. She had a very heavily-built hull, with a straight stem and a graceful counter stern. She was given a full topgallant forecastle, and her forecastle head rail was closed for most of its length. Her anchors were carried in rectangular pock ets set into her bows down near the loaded waterline and well back of the stem p o s t . Unlike the earlier GLENIFFER, GLENEAGLES sported a triple-deck bridge struc ture atop the forecastle head, with a closed rail around the front of each of its decks, and flying bridge wings on the upper level. There was a large, round-fronted pilothouse with many large windows and a prominent sunvisor, and additional protection for it was provided by means of a canvas "dodger" or weathercloth, which was stretched above the closed steel rail on the bridge deck. The pole foremast, of medium height, was stepped just abaft the pilothouse, and was pleasantly raked. Aft, there was a large, double-deck cabin, protected from boarding seas by a closed steel taffrail that ran around the stern. The lifeboats were placed on either side, supported on overhangs of the first upper deck, while the coal bunker hatch was set into that same deck at the forward end of the cabin. The smokestack was tall and very heavy, and rose out of the upper cabin, with three very large ventilator cowls in front of it to draw fresh air down into the boiler room. The pole mainmast, raked to match the fore, was set abaft the funnel. GLENEAGLES was painted in the usual colours worn by Playfair steamers. Her hull was grey with a red boot-top, and her forecastle and cabins were white. Her big stack was crimson, with a broad black smokeband at the top. The foremast was buff, while the main was black. The ship's name was painted in large white letters on each side of the hull, amidships. GLENEAGLES was enrolled at Midland, Ontario, under Canadian official number 152643. Her registered dimensions were 582. 0 x 60. 2 x 28. 3, and her original tonnage was 8233 Gross, 4780 Net.
