The protection which our government has afforded to chese craft against all interference from foreign vessels has built up a commercial _ marine, which is a remarkable evidence of at can be done by proper laws and proper e establishing on asuccesefal basis lines in going vessels sailing under the Amer- n his speech the other day, Sena- aking of this matter, said: “We ar statute books for a century ns of freight—-a da more than are taken igh the Suez canal. Our coastwise and "lake fleet is four times as large as the coast- wise fleet of Great Britain to-day and larger than the coastwise fleet of all the maritime nations of the whole world. The Chicago Inter- Ocean, facetiously allows the new yacht Frolic to leave that port under the following conditions: “Tet go your pike pole!” “Aye, aye, sir.” “Close reef your dolphin striker!”’ “Aye, aye, sir.’ “Now, keel-haul your ratlines and splice your cock-pit!” “Aye, aye, sir.”’ She had been moored to her dock at the foot E of Randolph street viaduct where the guests and proyender were put aboard. Thestart was made at 2:30 o’clock with a lively breeze from the east, under a mainsail, jib, jib topsail, and gait topsail. Associate Commodores Turner, Harris, and Osterhaus stood by the sheets as the trim-built craft gracefully shaped her » course out through the gap for the open sea, *“Captain,’’ yelled Assistant Commodore Harris, after the man who treads the quarter deck had hallooed forth the orders above quoted, ‘is * your mouth a freak of nature or was it the stroke of a broad-ax?”’ “Haul your face over to leeward,” put in Assistant Commodore Osterhaus, “and give the sails a chance.’’ This and a great deal more was said.

Their capstan Wind- which has power and speed arrangement entirely |indepeadent of the Windlass,and which makesa pirect connection with the Windlass, without the intervention of any gearing to complicate it and increase the friction. In all their styles of Steam Windlasses, the Amer- ican Ship Windlass co., makes a direct connection between the Engines and the Windlass without counter shafts or additional geaving. This saves friction and liability to break down, and conduces to durability and ease in operating. These wind- lasses also have a counterbalance for the engines, and an automatic lubricator for worm and worm gear. The engines are placed together in the most accessible position. The above improvements and others too numerous to mention, but which are fa- miliar to Masters, Owners and Builders, are cover- ed by Patents owned exclusively by the American Ship Windlass company.
