6 THE MARINE RECORD. ENCOURAGING TO ENGINEERS. Whether it is owing to the persistent ap- peals of the technical press, the effect of the societies of engineers springing up all over the country, or to the natural instinct for self-preservation which dwells in mankind, we cannot say, but it is certain that serious attention is being yiven to the status of engineers, and thelr personal fitness for the osts they oceupy. We rejoice at this, for itecan result only in gocd to a class in this country who have never yet had justice done them. We mean, of course, men who follow the management of steam engines for a living. Engineers have not had justice done them for the simple reason that all have been lumped together; the good and the bad have been clussed alike, and the shortcomings of the poorest have been charged upon those better informed. Men who have a realizing sense of the responsibility of their charges have been classed with those who do not know the figures upon a steam gauge. Popular indifference to the status of engi- neers is not by any means confined to small consumers and stexm users, but itextends to very high places. Men are vo be found occuppying positions of trust and re sponsibility who can scarcely read or write. We have plenty of proof of this, and wouid, if we saw any end to be gained by it, mention instances, but we have no desire to impale individuals, for the fault of a system. They exist because of the indifference of employers, or ignorance of employes, as to what an engineer should be, but the time is rapidly coming when aman_ professing to be an engineer will have to show that he is such actually. What would be thought ofa steamship company that would allow one of their vessels to go to sea with a captain who could only write his name because he had practiced that graphic method of identifying himself cn paper? How much more re- sponsible a post has the captain of a ship than the chief engineer? We answer none at all; a fact too palpable that it needs no argument to sustain it. We said atthe beginning of the article that a better state of things is approaching, and we see this in the popular demand tor the examination and classing of engineers. Not alone among: the men, but from the public. This sentiment is also shown by the comments of our contemporaries in other parts of the country. They began to realize that an engineer: is a man of some im- portance in the community, or should be, and that the safety of every one in his vicin- ity depends upon how much he knows, not upon what hé pretends to know. The day will come, sooner or later, when every city and town in thiscountry will have its license system and its inspectors of boil- erg, and it behooves all who can in any way expedite its coming to do s0.—Mechanical Engineer. LAKE HEROINES. The Chicago Times is authority for the following on heroines of the lakes. It says: The ‘Queen of the Lumber Fleet” is often respectfully alluded to by the lumber deal- ers, tug owners, vessel men, and others who congregate at the exchange docks in Chicago. She is the daughter of the captain of the schooner Scud, is remarkable for her beauty, and, though now only seventeen years of age, aided last season in saving the crew of a wrecked vessel. Volunteers for the life- boat were scarce, and the young lady insist- ed that she could row, and that she could do better than any man who knew nothing about a boat. ‘The necessity was great and pressing, and she was reluctantly taken along. When the boat was going through the breakers the girl proved to be the best of the party at the oars, and the rescue was successfully made. ‘The “Mistress of Lake Michigan is Miss McKee, daughter of Cap- tain McKee, the keeper of the waterworks crib, tour miles off Chicago harbor. On stormy nights when the seas make the great crib rock to and fro, and the wind is moan- ing like a chorus of lost souls, the crib is not as pleasant a place as a comfortable drawing room ashore, and yet Miss McKee has been there alone through many a stormy night, has kept faithful watch of the light, and has sounded the fog bell regularly. It has oc- curred sometimes that a storm snddenly arose when Captain McKee was ashore in the city, and it continued all through the night, making it impossible for him to re- turn, On these occasions Mise McKee has taken the night watch herself, and her vigils have kept everything right. Not long ago myaterious noises were heard about the crib nights, which could not be accounted for, One dark, stormy night an unearthly scream or shriek was heard three times in succes- sion, and Captain McKee and his family cer- tainly thought it came from a human being. The boat was lowered to render assistance, if possible, but no one was discovered. The fear was that some small craft, with women aboard, had drifted out in the lake. The next day a large lake loon was found drifting about on the surface near the crib. It was this inei- dent that gave currency to the talk now and then heard among sailors and tugmen that the crib is haunted. Large parties of gentle- men and ladies visit Captain McKee’s lonely mansion during the summer months, and Miss McKee’s prepossessing appearance and her natural grace and accomplishments prompted sesmen to allude to her as the worthy “mistress of Lake Michigan,” and she is now generally so known. Well acquainted anda favorite in the best social circles of the city, the young lady is alsoan adept with the oar, and has a record of saving seven lives in individual cases. A short time ago a party were returning to the city from the crib in a sail yacht. <A fierce squall swept suddenly down upon them. The gentlemen were “summer weather”? sailors, and Miss McKee, who was on board as a guest, assumed command, The frail little yacht weathered the squall, but all hands agreed that she would have been lost had it not been for Miss McKee’s excellent sea- manship. Mrs. Frank Perew, the wife of Frank Perew, Esq., of Buffalo, takes a cruise now and then during the summer on board one of ber husband’s steamers, generally accom- panied by a party of friends or relatives. On one occusion she came to Chicago on the steamer John B. Lyon, which also had in tow the schooners John Hutchinson, Jogeph G. Masters, and Chandler J. Wells, the com- bined cargoes being about 6,000 tons of coal. ‘The tow of vessels, connected by lines nearly two hundred. feet long, presented a beautiful and imposing sight. It was called the “grand armada,’? and Mrs. Perew was called “Queen of the Lakes.’? She is still so called. ‘he lady is a Jewess. Miss Morgan, who resides at one of the east shore ports on this lake, has: saved, at different times, thirty-nine lives. She often helps ‘man’? the life-boat when volunteers are scarce, and she is an expert at the oars. Though not a large woman, she, is powerful and brave and daring. A season or two ago the government recognized Miss Morgan’s services by presenting her with a-gold life saving medel of the first class. THE RACINE FOG SIGNAL. Masters of steamboats arriving. in port yesterday complained of the man who runs the steam fog whistles at Ravine, stating that neither whistle nor any other signal was sounded Thursday night, although there was a dense fog on the lake. The captain of one propeller said he left Milwaukeeat midnight and the whistle at that point was blowing. He steered the usual course for Racine, and when his running time to the point had ex- pired he began to listen for the fog whistle. But he heard no whistle and thinking he had made some mistake he brought his boat to a standstill, and tried again to make out the whistle. It was not blowing atall. -As Racine and vicinity is one of the most dan- gerous spots on the Jukes on account of the deadly reef off the harbor, the steam service there Is an important thing for mariners. Four years ago the propeller Wissahickon got on Racine reef during a fog because no fog whistle was blowing at the time. It cost the Anchor Line Company, or rather thein- surance companies, several thousand dollars to settle the loss wn the vesge]. There is no excuse for failnre to sound the steam fog signal at Racine, because tl ere are two ten- inch sirens that are run by separate machin- ery.—Inter Ocean. Geo. B.
