at tae ase Pe SG iY" hak 0 28 : MARINE REVIEW. [June 13, TRADE NOTES. Mr. Stewart of the engineering firm of Stewart & McCurdy, Phila- delphia, recently purchased from Hall Bros. of that city a speedy launch that is equipped with one of the well-known Hall Bros. gasoline engines. The engine is of 3 H.P. The boat makes 9 miles an hour and has given such great satisfaction that Mr. McCurdy is commending the engine on all occasions. ; Capt. M. DePuy of New York, manufacturer of the DePuy Paragon 'boiler, recently installed in his canal steamer Acme one of these boilers that includes all improvements in the design. The boiler is 6x10 ft. Capt. DePuy says of it: "We are towing three consorts with this boat and doing the work with half the fuel burned on the ordinary canal steamer. The Acme made the run, with her tow, from Troy to New York--157 miles--in thirty-two hours, and consumed only 2% tons of egg coal. This remarkable showing was accomplished without covering on boiler or pipes. When the boiler and pipes are covered we expect to reduce the fuel bill by 10 to 15 percent." "A Short Treatise on Combustion" is the title of a very interesting folder dealing with the 'Hydro Carbon"' system of fuel economy con- trolled by the Steam Boiler Equipment Co. of New York. The folder is a reprint of a paper read at a recent meeting of one of the Pennsyl- vania branches of the National Association of Stationary Engineers and comes from Stuart & McCurdy, Philadelphia representatives of the ""Hy- dro-Carbon" system. This system of regulating fuel consumption is, on merit, winning its way, many large steam yachts having adopted it re- cently.

The Steam Boiler Equipment Co. of New York is located at No. 20 West Houston street, New York city, and the folder can be obtained by application to that address. Wooden berths in vessels of all kinds, and especially those engaged in passenger service, are gradually giving way to metal berths, and the change will be hastened by the attractive designs brought out of late by leading manufacturers in this line. Messrs. Leim, Irvine & Co. of 328 E. Twenty-third street, New York, make metal berths for all services from the first-class appartments of elegant passenger steamers to the special equipment of transports. They have just closed a contract for first-class berths for the steamers Korea and Siberia, building at the works of the Newport News Ship Building & Dry Dock Co. These, the manufacturers say, will be the finest metal berths ever put into a vessel. ITEMS OF GENERAL INTEREST. The John Schroeder Lumber Co. of Milwaukee will shortly arrange for the construction of a steamer of about a million feet lumber capacity. Miss Ruth Hanna, daughter of Senator Hanna, has been selected by the secretary of the navy to christen the cruiser Cleveland, which will be launched at the Bath Iron Works, Bath, Me., in August. __ The revenue cutter Mackinaw, designed for service on the great lakes, will be launched at the works of the William R. Trigg Co., Richmond, Va., some time during the present month. © Capt. W. W. Brown of Cleveland is the purchaser of the steel steamer Gratwick from Drake & Maytham of Buffalo. Associated with Capt. Brown in the purchase are Syracuse parties who are also interested with him in other ventures. The price is reported at $200,000. It is said that $705,000 was paid in all for the four Whitney steamers purchased a few days ago by J. C. Gilchrist and associates of Cleveland from the Whitney estate--$285,000 for the Whitney, $177,500 each for the Merida and Oglebay, and $65,000 for the wooden steamer, the Me- costa. A BOAT DETACHING DEVICE THAT WORKS. There are so many worthless devices advertised for life-saving pur- poses that it is a pleasure to commend the apparatus that really shows its worth in actual service. Another instance of the value of the boat releas- ing hook made by the Standard Automatic Releasing Hook Co. of No. 17 State street, New York, comes from the daily papers of New York city, supported 'by a letter of commendation from the master of the United States army transport Sedgwick. This hook is used on all vessels of the army transport service, as well as on vessels of the navy, vessels of the light-house institution and vessels of other branches of the government. A cry of "man overboard" was heard aboard the Sedgwick one morning last week as the vessel, making New York harbor, was steaming slowly towards the Narrows. The man overboard was an insane hospital stew- ard, who had managed, with his feet shackled, to escape a watch that had been placed over him and jumped into the sea. In exactly thirty-five seconds after the alarm had been given the forward starboard life-boat dropped from the davits and the drowning man was saved. Referring to the incident, Capt. H. J. Byrne of the Sedgwick says in a letter to the Standard company: "I take pleasure in saying that the account of this rescue as published in the daily papers is correct. The boat was lowered while the ship was under three-quarters speed and the promptness with which it detached when striking the water, made it possible to perform what I regard as one of the quickest rescues I ever witnessed. I wish to bear testimony to the reliable qualities of your releasing hooks, which have never failed us on occasions when called for. I have seen them work under most difficult circumstances and have never witnessed their failure. I hope this letter may be of advantage in bringing about their universal adoption." The Marine Iron Works, station A, Chicago, have just issued a new 48-page catalogue descriptive of their product, which they will send free on receipt of request. A separate pamphlet issued by the same company. devoted especially to "River Navigation" (shallow water stern wheel boats), will also be included if asked for. 1 PASSENGER STEAMER FOR SALE.
