Pe MARINE REVIEW. II Waterways Guide to the World's Fair. For the convenience of owners of steamers and yachts who will bring their crafts from the coast to the World's Columbian Exposition at Chicago, the following information has been gath- ered from reliable sources. It will also be valuable to ship builders in taking craft built for ocean service to the coast. The most important and the only route available for boats of large size is the St Lawrence river and canals thence through the lakes to Chicago. 'The greatest length of a boat passing the St. Lawrence canals must not exceed 185 feet over all, the locks be- ing 200 feet over gates, and the boat must not draw over 9 feet. The statement of extreme length is verified by Secretary Allen "S0FARRAN'S POINT |, DICKENSONS LANDING HoMORRISBURG Z z z ° Q = O- red x a : arta u; <j =: PN " oh: < , oz og Zz Fees e © Oz WZ: OS r- E : 3 re Og a ee o < O nO: ik: zz i 2 ro) oY: oz ct 'Zz x ; Cin!

She went up the sound from New York, and a day's run off Cape Sable struck a fog that lasted 30 hours. 'After running the log out, soundings were taken and she was put out, when her course was shaped for the turn. She was coming to anchor, when the fog lifted and showed the lights they were after. Pilot schooners lay off Bic island, 150 miles east of Quebec, and a pilot was taken on. He ran into Quebec and furnished another pilot, who went as far as Montreal.

The yacht which will goto the coast building by the Globe company, is 185 feet over all without the jib boom, which will be removed to permit her going through. The following extracts from the log of steam yacht Peerless, which came through the St. Lawrence canals to the lakes recent- ly, will furnish valuable suggestions to masters of craft making - the same trip. The Peerless isa handsome yacht of 113 net reg | ister tons, owned by C. W. Harknessof New York, and com- manded by Capt. Averill. She is 166 feet over all, excepting a LAWRENCE RIVER TO CHICAGO. Cape Vincent. Capt. Averill advises that fuel and supplies be taken on at Montreal instead of Quebec, on account of tide and other difficulties at the latter port. He mentions the Robertson dock as a fueling place. At Montreal a customs officer will board the boat and ask'for a report of passengers and crew, etc. On account of having a pleasure yacht license the Peerless was not required to secure clearance papers at any port. It is necessary to call at the canal office at Montreal for a canal pass, which must be surrendered up at the last lock. 'There are no speed regulations on the St. Lawrence canals.
