vo : Mhe Marine Reconil. report of the loss of the captain and rfmen of the life saving crew at the able, Mich., station, will certainly rorough investigation and possi- act of eongress that will deal severely vessel captains who imperil the lives ‘ fe Saving crews by false signals. The report which has reached Washington says that after the schooner Dewey was sighted, _ flving a signal of distress, the life boat pnt off to render assistance, but before the dis- tance had been traversed the flag at the peak of ae Dewey was lowered and an ensign was displayed at ber masthead as a signal that all was right It is believed that the = first signal was hoisted as a ‘‘blind’’ and tor the purpose of deceiving the life saving crew and securing the services cf atug. In returning to shore that boat struck a bar and capsized, Captain Flynn and two ot his men lost their lives in consequence, Superintendent Kimball has ordered the local superintendent to make a thorough investigation with especial reference to the alleged trickery of the crew of the schooner Dewey. He reports that Captain Flynn was one of the most careful and experienced officers in the service. Mr. Kimball says that as far he knows there is no Jaw to pre- vent the displaying of false signals of dis- tress. BILL NYE ON POLAR EXPEDITIONS. Everything shows us that the summer is gone and the twilight of the year is setting dowr upon us. We begin to wonder whether we had bet er run the furnace this winter or take the money and buy Cuba so as to have a winter resort, Speaking about winter resorts, a mili- tary friend of mine wriies we that he wouldn’t ask better than a commission to make a trip in search of the open Polar Sea. He invites me tego. I thanked him for the invitation and asked him when he wanted his men picked, be- tore or after the trip. While I woud like well enough to catcha few ;ickerel in the open Polar Sea and breathe the crisp, pure air of no degrees and no minutes longitude due west of a given point, I am all most p sitive that I will dig the clinkers wut of a large base burner this winter and write foamy, frothy, sunny, svothful poems for a dying world, While no one would more cheerfully enter in- to the giddy whirl of Esauimaux society, or load his stomach with cod-liver oil and old harnesses aud saddles with vinegar, in order that he might gratify a morbid curiosity as to whether the North Pole had a hot box or not, yet I shall not avail myself of the opporiunity tu go this winter, While few could more joyously contemplate a life where it would take a ninety-day note a lifetime to mature, I am free to say that I would rather, at present, climb a tall iree until the yayee gets by. The New York Maritime Register states that it is likely that ocean passenger steamers in the future will be fitted with twin screws, This would be a most excelent precaution against any very serious results from the breaking of a shafiin mid-ocean. Ifsuch a breakage happens at the present time, the steamer has to depend entirely upon her sail power until her machinery ean be repaired and do little better than drift along until a port is reached or assistance is given by a passing steamer. Under these circum- stances there is more or less danger to be appre- hended especially should the steamer become dis- abledin a storm, If,however,she possessed twin screws, though her speed might be considerably retarded, she would yet be able to continue on her voyage and be independent of the assistance of other vessels. To ocea» travelers this would present itselfas no mean element of safety.. The ado; tion of twin screws in passenger steamers would seem to be not far off and follows nat- urally upon the efforts toward both safety and convenience that tas cuaracterized the manage- ment of the great Atlantic eteam lines. The Tehigh Valley Transportation Company has drawings by G. B. Mallory of a new steel steamship which is to be bnili the ensuing win- ter if suitable urrengements can be made. She is to he 300 fet loug over all, 41 feet in molded beam, and 25 feet in the hold, witha full length water bottom, Her machivery is :o consist of & triple expansio, engine with cylinders of 214, 85, and 62 inches, the siroke being 48 inches, and four boilers wade of inch steel,each 12 feet by 11 feet 8inches, . laced athwartsni,;. The boilers are to carry 160 po nda pressure. A sec- tional wheel is t be used. Her capacity is to be 2,500 tons freight, besides fuel, aud she is to average fourteen miles. The mo iel is made ac- cording to the ideas of Capt. Henry, manager of the line. A writer in the November number of the Lon- don Nauical Magazine, maintaius by very plausible arguments thatit is bad economy for a shipowner to underman his yessei. He claims that an undermauned vessel makes much longer voyages tha. one carrying a ful. crew, and that the oss of time—or demurrage—with the in- creased cost of wages incurred in the longer yoy- age, are far greater than the additional wages of a full crew. This ground is certainly well ta- ken, It is very reusonable to suppose, nay it is almost certain, that a well manned ship will al- ways make better time than one undermanned, and under such circumstances it is more profit- able to the shi; -owner tv engage the full crew, setting aside eveu the prvbable saving in wear and tear and the increased safety of vessel and crew, ee Mr. R. W. Me[ntire of Buffalo nas lately taken the sub-coutract for doing a large amount of piling and timber work this winter on the Wel- jand Canal improvement at Port Dalhousie. Of the dredging work now iu operstion on that wa- terway Mr. ©. F. Dunbar of Buffalo has the first or upper fo r miles, McNamee of Montreal! has the fifth and seventh mile, and Beemer & Sulli- van, the latter a Hudson River mar, the sixth mile; Hingston & Woods of Buffaio the next five miles, extending through the deep cut to Alten- burg, Conlon Bros. of Thorold the next mile, aud Satton of Torentothelast mile. This record makes itap; ear that he Yankee side of the line is going to do most of the work on the Welland improvement, whoever gets the ultimate benefit from the undertaking. et te Under instructions from the House Committee on Rivers and Harbers, Chairman Willis has con- ferred with Chairmen McMillan, of the Senate Committee on Commerce, aud other members of that committee, respecting the feasibility of pre- paring the river and harbor appro;riation bi 1 in joint sessions of the two committees. While no formal arrangement has yet beeu made it is sated that the proposition was favorably received by the Senate committee, and that the probabili- ties are that a bill will be prepured under the wlan proposed, providing for amaximum appro- riation of seven and one-half million dollars, ess than one-half of the aggregate of the appro- priations made by the bill passed at the last ses- sion.
