ele A motor cargo boat, built by John I. Thornycroft & Co., of Southampton, carried through her trials satisfactorily recently. El Lobito, as she is called, has been designed for coasting work off Peru, carrying about 50 tons of cargo which will consist principally of cast iron pipe line. The dimensions of the boat are as follows: Length be- tween perpendiculars, 75 .ft.; extreme breadth over rubbers, 16 ft.; moulded depth, 8 ft. and extreme draught, 6 ft. 10 in. The hull has been built on the composite system, having teak planking on galvanized steel framing, and has been built under Lloyds supervision throughout. The decks are of Kauri pine. El Lobito is rigged as a ketch, and is to make the voyage out to desti- nation. Accommodation has been pro- vided aft for officers, consisting of a saloon with sofa seats which can be turned into berths. Two folding cots have also been provided, so that six people can be berthed. Power Cargo Boat for Peru The motors are arranged in a sepa- rate watertight compartment between cargo hold and the aft accommodation. At the after end of the motor space are paraffine fuel tanks of six tons ca- pacity. The top tank is used to give a gravity feed to the motors, fuel being pumped up from other tanks by a semi- rotary pump. Forward of the motor space is situated the cargo hold, 22 ft. 6 in. long, to accommodate long lengths of pipe. The total. capacity of hold 'is 50 tons. A hatch, measuring 18 ft. 6 in. x 6 ft. 6 in., has been opened in this space to facilitate handling the cargo. An electric and hand winch, designed to lift up to 2 tons, has been fitted on the upper deck forward. Current is obtained from a dynamo fitted in the motor room. A pitch pine derrick is also fitted on the fore mast for running cargo. A funnel has been fitted abaft the bridge, so as not only to simplify the exhaust atrangements by putting the silencer in the funnel, but to ventilate and also to keep the heat well away from the mo- tor room. The vessel is steered from the bridge by a patent hand _ steering gear, and is fitted with a hand capstan forward for working the ships' cables. The machinery consists of two sets of the builders' S/4 type paraffine engines, each having four cylinders, 814 in, diameter by 12 in. stroke, and together designed to develop 200 brake horse- power at 550 revolutions per minute. A speed of half a knot over the 8% knots guaranteed was obtained with the en- gines running at 470 revolutions per minute. An auxiliary set of engines is provided for driving an electric light engine, and an auxiliary air compressor. THE MARINE REVIEW POWER BOAT TILLAMOOK This is only a standby as there is a small compressor on each main engine for charging the starting bottles, and it is only so as to safeguard against the leakage of air when the boat is laid up the auxiliary compressor is required. Re- versing is obtained by an epicyclic re- versing gear, fitted at the after end of the engine. The whole machinery has been constructed to comply with Lloyds requirements. Passenger Power Boat Tillamook -The Nehalem & South Coast Trans- portation Co. of. Astoria,: Ore., has placed the new power boat Tillamook on the run from Astoria to ports on the Siuslaw river. Tillamook is one of the latest models of the type of freight and passenger gas-driven vessel which is fast becoming quite common June, 1913 on the North Pacific coast, and is ex- pected to do great things toward the development of the little shallow water ports on the Oregon and North Calj- fornian coast. Tillamook is a twin-screw, schooner- rigged vessel, equipped with two 175- H. P. Standard marine gas engines, a 16-H. P. Standard double drum gas hoist and a 9-H. P. Standard gas elec- tric lighting unit, and has auto steering and engine control from the pilot house so that it can be governed by one man. An engine room telegraph con- forming to the United States govern- ment regulations is also included in she equipment. There are stateroom accommodations for sixteen passengers with quarters for four officers and forecastle quarters for a crew of five men. Tillamook is 130 ft. over all, 28 ft. bean and has 9 it. dépth vot -hold.' She is built. of Douglas fr and Port Oxford: white cedar and is a product of the shipyard of Kruse & Banks, of North Bend, Ore The steamer City of Montreal, for- merly the China, which was consider- ably damaged by fire at Montreal recently, has been sold to J. H. Hall, Ottawa, by the Montreal and Lake Erie Steamship Co She will be thor- oughly overhauled and repaired and will be placed in service between Montreal and Lake Superior ports. The Navy Department opened bids on May 19, for the submarine tender Bushnell, the lowest bidder being the Seattle Construction & Dry Dock Co., Seattle, Wash. The. Kelley-Spear Co., Bath, Me. launched the three-masted barge Ir- win, 228 ft. long, 39 ft. beam and 19 ft. deep, for the Pennsylvania Gas Coal Co. of Philadelphia, Pa. POWER BOAT FOR FERU
