FEBRUARY 20, I902. THE MARINE KECOKL. REPORTED BY THE LOOKOUT. The National Association. of Marine Engineers have elected the following officers: Grand: President, TI. J. S., Milne, Kingston; secretary-treasurer, J. A. Morrison, St. John; conductor, F. S. Henning, Toronto; doorkeeper, S. Beatty, Collingwood; auditors, Robert Craig and Bro. Gillie, Kingston. The matter of invading some of the ports is being con- sidered by the Independent Towing Co., at_the head of which is L,. S. Sullivan, of this. city, says the Toledo Blade. It is said that the Independent has. deals pending for some large tugs, which it intends to place in ports which are now entirely controlled by the Great Lakes Towing Co. Arrangements have already been completed for an addition- al tug at Buffalo, the Delta, which was purchased at Cleve- land last fall, will be added to the company’s fleet at that port. She is being:overhauled at a cost of $3,500, and the other tugs, the Butler and the Pallister, are being put into excellent condition. The steel steamer Etruria, built on the order of the Haw- good “Pransit €o., Cleveland; was launched from the yards at West Bay City, Saturday. She measures 434 feet over all; 414 feet keel, 50 feet beam; and is)28 feet deep. She will have. triple expansion engines with cylinders 22x35x58 inches, and’.with.a.42-inch stroke. The launching of this boat marks the beginning-of the rehabilitation of the Haw- good fleet, and also.practically the re-entrance of the com- pany into the lake business. The new steamer will have Capt. Thomes C. Ellis as her master, and R. B. Buchanan, of Cincinnati, as her chief engineer. Capt. Ellis is.one of the old mariners of the lakes, and has seen much service. The cost of the work to be done at the Milwaukee ship- yards this winter is increased by nearly $100,000, by the ex- pense of the repairs on the two Pere Marquette boats which went aground during the winter at Ludington. The total cost of “the grounding of the car ferry was estimated at the time.as being about. $50,000, including the-wrecking ex- pettses. The ferry is now in the south drydock, being put in shape for service at the earliest possible date. Her hull will be repaired and, she will then leave the dock to make room for other vessels: ‘The No. 3 was towed across from the ‘schooner. Ludington Friday, and she will go into drydock for imme- diate repairs. The decision, of the owners of the Mary: E. Boyce, to remodel that steamer will bring the additional work to be done here to $100, 000 above wee estimate made early in the winter. Marine men agree that Eagle river is he pine: for the new life-saving station and not Hagle harbor, says the Houghton: Mining Gazette. In a letter to that paper, Blight & Son, of Eagle river, say that the steamers Hudson and Fern went down off Eagle river, and not in Eagle har- bor, as has been so ‘many times reported. Also the, Col-, orado'and Pickands struck the reef in a fog at that ‘place and went to. pieces. The little steamer Fern was getting out the iron from the Colorado and the Pickands when a storm came up and she could not get away. No vessel can strike the reef at Eagle Harbor unless it runs on the beach. At Eagle river the reef is about one mile from shore and ex- ‘tends from Five-Mile point to Sand Bay, and in some places has only four feet of water over it. Eagle harbor and Eagle river are nine miles apart. The Milwaukee Evening Wisconsin says: An opinion of much interest to vessel owners was handed down. by Judge Seaman, in the federal court to-day, wherein the. court holds that ‘continuing secret liens upon vessels tend to incumber commerce, and connot be encouraged. . Be- - cause. Mrs. Anna Wagner, cook of the steamer: Toxteth, permitted her claim for wages as cook to run over two sea- sons, the court disallows the claim for services for those years, cutting down the claim from $210.67 to 43.33. Mts. Wagner was ; the wife of the master and managing owner of The ‘Toxteth was a pleasure yacht, and was brought to. Milwaukee last June, having been chartered ‘by Attorney John F. Burke, for a cruise about the lakes. When she reached Milwaukee she was seized by the mar- shal, and sold at auction. Mrs. Wagner filed claim for ser- vices at the rate of $20 per month, for services of 1899, 1900, and 1901. Judge Seaman sdys she-allowed her: claim to run, and: gave no public intimation of her claim, and her action comes within the ban of the rule that secret liens must be discouraged when their allowance will take the ° fund from bona fide lien holders. Mrs. Wagner’s claim for services rendered in roor is allowed. mat U. S$. Encrnerer Orrice, Buffalo, N.Y, > February I, 1902.
