224 foot instead of 7% lbs. All rivets in this vessel have been increased in size % inch over the former type. No rivet hole was punched to full size, each hole being reamed to fit the rivet. Altogether the new steam- er has been built to withstand pun- ishment and is another instance in which safety has not been sacri- to full size, each hole being reamed to fit the rivet. Altogether the new steamer has been built to withstand punishment and is another instance in which safety has not been sacri- ficed for profit-making. With 300 tons of extra steel worked into her structure, the Hanna will obviously carry 300.tons less cargo. The luncheon following the launch- ing at the Union Club was a highly felicitous affair. Mr, Harvey 2D. Goulder, who has presided at innu- merable functions of this character, acted as toastmaster, and was most happy in his introductions, for in this capacity no man excels Mr. Goulder. There were many speeches made by experienced speakers, such as Rev. Father O'Reilly, Col. J. J. Sullivan, Jugve Wins Le Day, J. Co. Wallace, Edward A. Uhrig, H. N. Herriman, W. H. Higgins, of Wheeling, W. Va., Robert T. Gray, of Detroit, but the address that attracted the greatest attention was that of Capt. Richard- son' himself, who reviewed his. lake career, touching upon the changes during his long life, expressing his views as to what a ship should be and ending with the remark that the Howard M. Hanna Jr. is the last ship that he will ever build. Those pres- ent were: Harvey D. Goulder, F. I. Kennedy, 1 ee Punham, Mr. Hickox, J. L. Forepaugh, H. N. Herriman, Mrs. W. F.

Vaterland's Funnels The quadruple-screw turbine steam- er Vaterland, of the Hamburg-Ameri- ka Line, holding the record of being the world's largest liner (58,000 tons), is commended by Captain Ruser, the commodore captain of the Hamburg- Amerika, who formerly held the com- mand of the Imperator. The latter vessel has been in charge of Captain Kier, late of the company's liner Amerika, since March. The Vater- HAMBURG-AMERICAN LINER VATER- LAND'S UNIQUE SMOKE STACKS land, it will be readily understood, has many unique features in her con- struction and equipment. Perhaps one of the most striking of these is that she is the first steamship ever built with smoke-stacks not running through the centre of her decks. About the level of the lowest pas- senger deck her funnels are divided into two smoke-tubes, which run up either 'side of the ship, and rejoin on the upper boat deck to pass into the funnel. The space occupied by ordinary funnels passing through the middle of the decks is thus left clear, and the passengers will occupy the June, 1914 full deck without obstruction. This will give a long central corridor on each of the passenger decks. Steamship Glenroy The steamship Glenroy owned by the Royal Mail Steam Packet Line, extensively damaged by fire at Port- land in March, has been completely rebuilt at the yard of the Seattle Con- struction & Dry Dock Co. well with- in the contract time of thirty-one days. The contract was secured by the Seattle Construction & Dry Dock Co. in competition with the prin- cipal shipyards on the Pacific coast, _the time and price for doing the work being very much less than that of the competitors. The contract for the repairs was one of the largest hand- led on the Sound for some time. Seventy-one plates were taken off, faired and returned, 25,000 rivets re- moved and replaced. All joiner work in the vessel was renewed, new bridge house built, flying bridge, captain's house and chart room all renewed; poop deck house renewed, port side of fidley rebuilt, nearly all of the in- terior furnishings of the super-struc- ture replaced, new teak deck laid. Ordered New Steamer The Canadian Steamship. Lines, Ltd., has ordered from G.. T, Davie & Sons, Levis, Que., a single screw ferry boat, to be called Longueuil, and to replace the present boat of that name. Her dimensions will be:--length over all, 16914 ft.; extreme beam, 43 ft. 2% ins.; depth moulded, 12% ft. She will have one Scotch marine boiler, and the engine will be fore and aft compound, 17-34 x 36. She will be built to Lloyds requirements, and will be constructed suitably for ice break- ing conditions. She will be prac- tically fire proof, all decks and super- structure being of steel. She will be fitted with all conveniences, and will be of a type representing the most modern ideas in ferry steamboat building. The machinery to be in- stalled in this vessel, is being trans- ferred from the company's steamer Dundurn, which has been dismantled at Polson Iron Works, Toronto. The Anderson Steamboat Ce, Seattle, has submitted the lowest bid at $91,500 for the construction of the Kirkland ferry. Other bidders were: McAleer Shipbuilding Co., $94,510; Seattle Machine Works, $105,000; Seattle Construction & Dry Dock Co., $95,000; F. Duthie & Co., $91,999.
