THE MARINE RECORD, 7 PATENT METALLIC LIFE BOATS. John ‘I. Smith of 159 South Street, New York, is doing a large business in furnishing metallic lifeboats to his many friends. life rafts are advertised in the Marine Rec- ORD and we are glad to note his prosperity. A recent issue of the Sunday ‘Times, of New York, contains the following: The tiny cutter Dodge, which for some time attracted a great deal of attention at the shop of her builder, John ‘I’. Smith, 159 South street, was launched a short time since. She is 14144 feet over all, 34 feet heam, 3 feet draught and has one-half ton ballast. ‘The Dodge was fully rigged, sparred ‘and canvassed, and all sail was made immediately for Pottery Beach, Greenpoint, where she came to alongside her larger sis- ter cutter the Mona. Since then she has made several trips up Long Island Sound, and outside Sandy Hook, giving perfect sat- isfaction. She will go to Newport soon in charge of her owner, E. M. Paddelford, who has had her built principally for gunning and fishing parties. Smith has built a great many new boats this season for our erack yachts. ‘The gig for Mr. Rooseyelt Schuy- ler’s new yacht is an elegant specimen of a ship’s boat being finished in extra style in every respect. ‘Che metallic liteboat, of the largest size, which Smith is now bullding for the yacht Three Brothers, of Portsmouth, N. H., isan extra fine specimen of his pat- ent metallic lifeboats, She will be completed during this week. ‘The Bristow Life Raft is one of the best inventions yet offered the sea-going community for the preservation of life in cases of shipwreck. On Wednes- day last he shipped an A 1‘Bristow’’ to the owner of the handsome steam yacht Mer- * maid, of New Haven, Conn. The gig and cutter which are about finished for the steam yacht ‘Theresa, of New York, owned by Mr. Fiske, will bear the closest inspection. The same remark will apply to the gig, tender and barge intended for Mr. Alexander’s rack steamyacht Vision. The latter’ craft it may be remembered was built by Jacob Lorillard. ‘These boats are built without regard to cost; all the varieties of hard woods being used in their finish, and no ex- pense being spared in their brass works, up- holstery, etc. ‘The same description and re- marke are appropriate for the boats of Mr. Lorillard’s new steamyacht, as_ well as to those for the steamyacht Stranger. The lat- ter craft is one of the most elegant steam- yachts afloat in the waters of the United States in speed, model and equipment. She was built for the late Mr. Osgood, of the New York Yacht Club, and is the property of Mr. Jaffray. Tt ig understood that Chief Engineer Charles H. Loring will be appointed Chief of the Bureau of Steam Engineering, Navy Department, to aucceed Commodore William H. Shock, recently retired.
