, f ; , THE Marine REvIEw Fire Room or THE SCHOONMAKER 4 from which the observation room is approached. In keeping with the gen- eral scheme, the observation room is in fumed oak with Spanish leather and is equipped with writing tables, chairs and a built-in settee of splen- did proportions amidships on the after side of the room. A _ feature of the room is a Victrola finished in wood to harmonize with the fur- niture. The owner's quarters ate on the port side in rear of the observation room, consisting of one bed room and a bath room with white tile flooring and a shower walled in marble but no tub. The captain's quarters are on the port side aft of the observa- tion room. A stairway leads off the captain's room to a smoking room or lounge which is superimposed up- on the observation room. This might be called the passengers' pilot house, as it occupies the space usually em- ployed' for the enclosed pilot house on a. modern frteighter. This will probably prove the * most ~ popular room on the ship, especially with the men, as everything in it contributes to comfort and moreover the view from it is superb at all times. Super- imposed upon the lounge is the en- closed pilot house with outside rail- ing and compass. All cooking for the grill room for- ward is by electricity, the galley be- ing on the main deck beneath the passenger quarters and served by a dumb waiter. The electric stove was supplied by the Thermo Electric Co., of Cleveland, and the steam tables by Weber & Co., of Detroit. The stores are cooled by refrigeration, the ice machine being located in the dun- nage room immediately forward of the galley. In this system coils of extra strong pipe are placed in the boxes and liquid anhydrous ammonia evaporated within them at a very low temperature, the ammonia in evapor- ating taking up the heat. Brine tanks of ample capacity are provided to maintain an equality of temperature when the plant is not running.. The system also provides for making ice for table use in suitable size molds. The dunnage room also contains one Of the, sanitary pumps. [his room is a thing of joy to an orderly mate, so different from the old-style dunnage room. Extending the full width of the ship, it is spacious, light and airy, with a place for everything "Nasa. tat 17 it. November, 1911 and it is to be observed that every- thing was in its place. Unusual thought has been expended upon the design of the crew's quar- ters. The first and second mate are housed on the forecastle deck aft of the owner's quarters, with a joint shower. The forward crew are housed on the main deck directly underneath the passenger quarters and are sup- plied with all modern conveniences. The after crew, including the deck hands, are all provided with ample quarters on the spar deck aft, each room being provided with an electric fan. In fact, every room on the boat The sanitary arrange- ments aft are as complete as_ they are forward, there being showers and baths in each department with pri- vate bath for the chief and first and second engineers. A drying room is also provided after the boilers, where wet garments may be dried in a few minutes. The after end of the deck house aft is. given over to 'the private dining room for passengers and the crew's dining room, the private dining room being on the starboard side and the crew's dining room on the port side. The private dining room is decorated in fumed oak and the crew's dining room in light oak, and it is a mere question of taste as to which is more attractive. Capt. Fhemas H. 'Saunders, who brought out the Schoonmaker, says that she is the easiest vessel in a seaway that he has ever sailed, being unusually responsive and manageable, due undoubtedly to her greater beam.
