THE MARINE RECORD. ward lost on Lake Erie. A steamer called the Telegraph, 196 tons, was built at Dexter, subsequently taken to Detroit, and was burned at the head of Lake Erie. ‘The Ex- press was built at Pultneyville in 1839, She was commanded and partly owned by Cap- tain H. N. Throop. Her career ended in 1850. ‘The St. Lawrence was rebuilt in 1844 and her tonnage was increased at a cost of $50,000. She was retired at Clayton in 1850, The John Marshall, of 60 tons, was brought from Lake Erie to Lake Outario, and was wrecked off Stony Point, October 18, 1844, commanded by Captain Joel F, Tyler. ‘The Lady ot the Lake, 423 tons, was built at Os- wego in 1842, She. plied on the through line until 1852, when she was chartered as a fer- ry between Cape Vincent and Kingston She was the first American steamer 6n Lake Ontario with state rooms on the upper deck, Captain Root was for atime her master. The Cataract was commanded in 1847-48 by Cap- tain James Van Cleve, in 1849-51 by Captain B. R. Chapman and in 1852-53 by Captain A. D. Kilby. The Bay S:ate was first eailed by Captain James Van Cleve, and afterward by Captain John Ledyard; the New York was sailed by Captain R. R. Chapman; the Brit- ish Queen by Captain J. LaFlamme; Brit- ish Empire by Captain D. 8. Allen, and the Jenny Lind by Captain L. Moody. In 1845 there were on the American side of Lake Ontario seven sidewheel steamboats, six pro pellers and about 100 sail vessels, with an aggregate tonnage of 18,000 tons, and cost- ing $1,500,000. Of the veteran steamboat masters we know of but one of the old schoo; now living, Captain James Van Cleve, a resident of Sandwich, opposite Detroit, who commenced navigating on board the first steamer on that lake. The remarkable group of islands at the lower extremity of Lake Ontario are what is known asthe ‘Thousand Islands, com- mencing opposite Kingston, Ontario, and ly- ing partly in Canadian and party in Amer- ican waters, and stretching down the St. Lawrence from forty to fifty miles. Wolfe, orG rand Island, is on the Canadian side, is eighteen miles long and from one to six miles wide. Gage [sland lies west.of the latter, is three miles ‘long, having a light- house on the southwest end. Howe Island, in Canadian waters, is eight miles long and from Gne ‘to twe miles wide, lying near the Canada shore. The American channel runs east of Wolfe island, between that and Cape Vincent. Carleton island is in United States waters and contains about 1,200 acres of land. It is important that it commands the Ameri- can channel of the St. Lawrence. ‘The other islands of any importance are Grindstone, Well’s, Admiralty, Fleet Group, Old Friend, Indian Group, Amateur, and others of lesser importance. ‘The fish thereabout are abund- ant and of nearly all kinds, sizes and de- scriptions.

Messrs Felthousen & Russell], 139 to 141 Main street, Buffalo, are manufacturers of the famous patent fluted lens steamer and vessel signal lamps, headlights, anchor lamps, binnacle lamps, vessel torches, vessel supplies, pier lamps, etc.; also of French wrought iron cooking ranges and broilers. Felthousen & Russell have made the manu- facture of signal lamps a life-long study and their efforts have been crowned with well- merited success. ‘I'he patent fluted lens sig: nal lamps patented and manufactured by this firm, are the best ever made and have won great praise on ocean, luke and river through- out the world. ‘he red and green colors pro- duced by the fluted glass lenses used 1n these lamps are perfection itself, and can be seen ata greater distance than those in any other lamp manufactured,and any person who fails in distinguishing the splendid bright red and green lights, which are of faultless shade must indeed be hopelessly color-blind. Too much praise cannot be bestowed upon these celebrated lamps, and every truc=iearted sailor must feel thankful to the manutact- urers who help them to avoid death’ by col- lision and other disasters in the darkest of nights. The firm has manufactured over 10,000 of their lamps of all kinds, which is anexcellment proof of their popularity vmong vesselmen. They manufacture and keep in stock the French wrought iron cooking ranges of the following sizes: 3'3, 4'g,544,7% and 10! feet and make larger sizes when ordered. They are very compact, strong, durable and economical and have gained great praise from stewards and others who have used them.
