SEPTEMBER 19, 1901. THE MARINE RECORD. A.SHIP-YARD RECORD. A force of 100 men of the Detroit Ship Building Co., have broken the world’s record in fitting out the hull of & steam- ship with machinery and other equipment, The freighter Yosemite was. launched ‘a week ago Satur- day and work was begun placing in her machinery Monday morning; At noon, three days-Jater, the 1,000 horse power | engities' were in place; the huge boilers had been set, with” the aid of a°swinging crane; the smoke stack was in position aud smoke rolled from the funnel of the vessel while the great propeller was already under control of the engines. Three and one-half days were sufficient for the work that usually réquires from three to six weeks and Supt. Calder believes that there is no record either in lake or ocean ship- yards to beat this. * No'work was done ‘on the steamer at night. Every day that the Yosemite lay at her dock meant a $300 loss to her owners.and they have been saved in:the neighborhood of $4,000 by the rapidity with-which the boat and her machinery have been completed. ‘It can also be stated that Mr, Calder i is one of the most ex- pert practical engineers on the lakes, A self-made man, he can handle men to the best: pemantige and so as to ~— each move count. i - King Edward’s yacht Victoria and Albert, 4,700 tons, is 380 feet long and 50 feet beam. The German Emperor’s yacht is 382 ft. 6 in. long by 45 ft. 9 in. beam, and displaces 4,180 tons, has greater. power, and is the fastest of royal yachts, having made 21 34 knots on trial as compared with 20% knots of. King Edward’s yacht, The Czar of Russia’s - yacht steams 19 knots, the French President’s 18 knots, the Austrian Emperor’s 17 ‘knots, the King of Italy’s 14 knots, aid the King of Denmark’s 14 knots.

When the schooner» Rand was lost on Lake’ ‘Michigan, early in the spring, carrying down Capt. Ralph Jefferson, there was a'sefious question as to whether the $1,000 in-— surance on the life of Capt.’ Jefferson could.be collected.,., unless the body was recovered.” Weeks rolled by and, all efforts to find the body failed. The order was not legally bound to pay, but the treasurer paid to Mrs. Jefferson the money in full. The Kingston pilots are having considerable discussion among themselves in the press as to the 14 ft. channel in the St. Lawrence, and their respective abilities in taking vessels up and down. Outside the personal matters brought into correspondence by the pilots the important fact is brought out by officers of the Northwestern and the Northman, on . the Chicago-European line, that neither of these boats touched bottom while going through the St. Lawrence, and that the passage from Chicago to Montreal is perfectly safe and practicable for vessels drawing 14 ft. of water. The Northwestern went aground owing to a dredge and barge blocking the channel and not because of insufficient el tit of water. ‘ In speaking of the lumber trade, Fred Schrocdey, of the John Schroeder Lumber Co., Milwaukee, said: ‘Lumber business has been.good this year, the demand steady, and, 5 In all the higher — the prices better than for some time. grades especially have the prices been maintained, and only. in hemlock, of which there is a superabundance in the mar- ket, have the rates been weak.
