MARINE REVIEW. "aay Arthur Orr is the name given to the steamer building at the yard of the Chicago Ship Building Company for Elphicke and others of Chicago. The schooner launched Saturday at West Bay City by Capt. James Davidson is named Dundee. On or about the 18th inst. the last boat of the Northern Steamship Company's line will leave Cleveland for Duluth and Superior. Freight intended for shipment by this line must be in possession of the company not later than the r5th inst. On her last trip to Marquette the steamer Continental with her consort the Grace Holland, passed up St. Mary's river by night. 'The run was made without difficulty, as the ranges were found to be all right. 'This is the first time the feat has been at- tempted by a steamer towing a consort. A third slip and docks for handling coal and ore in the old river bed portion of the Cleveland harbor will be constructed this winter by the Pennsylvania Company, which operates the Cleveland & Pittsburgh Railway. 'The slip and docks will be built according to the plan under which two new slips were re- cently constructed. During her cruise of nine months in different parts of the world the steel steam yacht Wadena, which left the yard of the Cleveland Ship Building Company late last fall and is now on her return up the Canadian canals from the Atlantic, did not meet with a single accident to her machinery. Not even so much as a hot journal marred the voyage, and with a little over 1,000 tons of coal, she.accomplished 29,067 miles. In October the record of coal shipments out of Buffalo for any one month was beaten, the amount carried by lake being 546,523 tons, against 354,508 in October, 1891. In September of this year shipments were 377,562 tons, and for the season to Noy. 1 they are 2,344,432 tons, against 1,977,878 for the same period last year. Shipments are already ahead of those for the entire year of 1891. Trade Notes. During Columbus week the flag manufactory of De Grauw, Aymar & Co. was taxed to its utmost, until there was not another piece of bunting to be had in the Unfted States. There is not a sea, river or lake port that this old established ship chandlery firm do not sell more or less in this line.--Marine Journal. . In describing Cornfield point light vessel built by F. W. Wheeler & Co., West Bay City, Mich., Industries of London says: "A peculiar feature of these vessels is their centre hawse-pipe made at an angle of 45 degrees through the stem, to reduce the stress on the cables when riding in heavy seas. 'The heaviest cables are 2% inches in diameter, the others z inches, and 250 fathoms have been supplied. These cables are worked by a steam windlass, constructed by the American Ship Wind- lass Company, Providence, R. I. The "Globe" Patent Steam Steering Engine. COMBINED STEAM AND HAND STEERING, PATENTED JAN. 7, 1890. IT IS THE most compact engine and gear on the market, requiring only 5% feet forward and aft and 4 feet athwartships. 'The wheel is 4% feet in diameter outside the rim and 5% feet including the spokes. The steerer is self-contained, the ? base forming a drip pan and having outer bearings, complete, all ready to bolt down to deck. The engine has two steam cylinders, 7-inch bore by 6-inch ' stroke, and is geared to drum shaft with a ratio of six to one. | All the working parts are adjustable for wear, and provision is made for taking up all lost motion. The gears are cut and work almost noiselessly. All parts of the valve motion are connected to the engine direct, are made as simple as possible and are positive in their movements; they are not affected by the springing of decks. The steam chests, valve stems and piston rods are all in plain sight and easy of access. The valves are of the slide pattern and will always remain tight. The drum is grooved for chain and the chains are led either above or below the drum (depending on which deck the engine is placed) and to the ship's side, thence running aft and connect- ed to sliding blocks, or to the usual hand steering purchase. In the wheel house are placed two large steering wheels, coupled together, either of which can be used to steer by steam or by hand, and there is no clutching or unclutching of wheels when changing from one motion to the other--they are always ready. The change from steam to hand, or vice versa, can be made instantly in the wheel house and there is no danger of blocking as the shifting parts can not foul each other or break the engine. The motion for steering by steam or by hand is conveyed through the one upright shaft, thus making the steerer complete in itself without a complication of rods, rope belts, etc. The movement of the steering wheels one-sixteenth of a spoke will start the engine, which movement is sufficiently close to steer by steam at sea. 'Io move the rudder from hard-over to hard-over the engine makes from forty to fifty revolutions, using 35 pounds steam pressure, and at this speed the steerer has am- ple power to put the rudder in any position at the maximum speed of vessel, and as there is no racing backward and forward, it will not wear itself out or consume large quantities of steam. Complete arrangements for oiling are provided and at acces- sible points. The indicator is located at top of wheel stand, works posi- tively by gearing and is not liable to become disarranged. A small binnacle lamp is placed on the wheel stand, throw- ing light on the indicator but in no way interfering with the lights in the binnacle box. Automatic stops and a signal bell are provided for the pur- pose of checking the movement of the wheel and warning the wheelsman at hard-over positions of the rudder. The machine is connected up complete and tested before - leaving the works. The entire apparatus is compact in design, thoroughly and substantially built of the best materials, has a 'neat and attractive appearance and is in all respects the most successful steering machine now upon the market. Not the least of its merits is its almost absolute freedom from noise in operation. Over one-fifth of all the boats built on the lakes during the last three years have been equipped with the Globe steam steer- ing gear. Over one-eighth of all the 1,000 to 2,500 ton steamers on the lakes are equipped with Globe steam steering gear, and 61 per cent of all that class of vessels of the United States are owned on the lakes. The tonnage of the steamers having Globe steam steerers amounts to about 65,000 tons. Following is a list of them, and it will be noticed that it in- cludes the very best class of lake steamers: J. H. Devereaux, Saxon, W. H. Wolf, German, Fred Pabst, Briton, Ferd. Schlesinger, Marina. Cambria, Masaba, J. H. Outhwaite, Virginia, Ira H. Owen, Tonia, Corsica, Maritana, Wallula, | Mariposa, Caledonia, Schuylkill, Corona, Samuel Mather, North Wind, Uganda, Italia; Pathfinder, Vulcan, Samuel Mitchell, Parks Foster, City of Genoa, Castalia, City of Naples, City of Venice, George T. Hope, Roumania. St. Lawrence, Hiram A. Sibley, Norman, Republic, A smaller size, suitable for small steamers, tugs, ete., can now be furnished. One of this type will be placed on the United States light-house steamer Maple, building at Elizabeth, Nal.
