) | MARINE REVIEW. 15 Vessels Given Up as Total Losses in i892. The following statement shows that fifty-seven lake vessels having a carrying capacity of 28,708 gross tons and valued at $1,014,250, have been removed from the lake fleet during the season now Closing. In the statement no account is taken of the very large amount of losses through strandings, fire, etc. where the vessels were not given up as total losses. Vessels abandoned to underwriters and afterward released, or raised in eases of sinking, are also excluded. 'The object is to show simply the tonnage that has passed out ot existence. 'There is no reliable data regarding loss of life, but the total from all causes for the season would be close to one hundred: # s Capaci NAME OF VESSEL. OWNER. aaa Hoot avaltation * Treland, W.

It is now intended to put quadruple expansion engines and Belleville boilers into the two Northern line, twin-screw passen- ger steamers, upon which work is well under way at the yard of the Globe Iron Works Company, Cleveland. General Manager Gordon of the Northern line was in Cleveland this week and was accompanied by Mr. Miers Coryell of New York who will repre- sent the owners of the big passenger steamers in matters per- taining to the designing and construction of machinery. Work on some portions of the huils has been suspended in order to make changes necessitated by alterations in the plans for this extraordinary power. Belleville boilers are in use in French steamers containing a great deal more power than will be de- veloped in these boats, and there is no doubt that they are en- tirely practicable and will permit of a great saving 1n weight. Work of the Ship Yards. Work on the bottoin of the steel steamer Matoa of the Min- nesota line, which was ashore near the piers at Ashtabula, will probably make up the largest job of repairs of this kind ever re- quired on a steel vessel on the lakes. From bilge to bilge throughout the steamer's entire bottom forward of the engines 1s a battered mass of material, and at one point there was a space of about a foot between the keel blocks and the bottom of the vessel when she was placed in dock. Even portions of the up- per part of the water bottom must be taken out and straightened. The steamer certainly received very hard usage on the rocks where she was stranded, and the fact that she was kept afloat at all without extraordinary efforts after being released speaks well for her construction. It is announced from West Bay City that F. W. Wheeler & Co. will build on their own account a steel steamer of 328 feet keel, with triple expansion engines and other important features of modern lake vessels. The launch of the steamer Selwyn Eddy will take place at the Wyandotte yard of the Detroit Dry Dock Company, at 3 o'clock on Saturday, Dec. 3. The Eddy is asteel, straight-back steamer, 360 feet long, 42 feet wide and 24 feet deep. Hingston & Son of Buffalo launched a fishing tug 65 feet long a few days ago. The boat is for F. M. Driggs of Dunkirk, N. Y., and is named Puritan. Managers of the American Steel Barge Company are con- sidering the advisability of constructing another big dry dock at Superior. Stocks of Grain. The following table prepared from the Chicago Board of Trade report.of the visible supply of grdin on Saturday ,the 26th inst., shows with comparisons stocks of wheat and corn in store at points of accumulation important to the lake traffic : WHEAT, BUSHELS.

Around the Lakes. The new torpedo planter, now being finished for the United States government and which will be used at Willet's point and vicinity, has a Roberts boiler with 21 square feet of grate and 700 square feet of heating surface. The steamer Frank E. Kirby left Detroit Sunday morning at 9:30 went to Sandusky, loaded 162 tons of sugar, returned by way of Put-in-Bay and. arrived in Detroit at 9:30 the same evening. The number of miles run was 160. In another part of this issue is an advertisement for twenty engineers and pilots to run steam launches for C. P. Willard & Co., Chicago, in connection with the world's fair during next summer. The positions will be pleasant ones and afford an opportunity of seeing everything to be seen at the great exposi- tion. John W. Moore, for many years harbor-master at Detroit, died at his home in that city Saturday. From Chicago, the death of Capt. A. W. Rossman is reported. He was seventy-five years of age and had commanded lake vessels for over fifty years. Capt. Rossman was commodore of the fleet of the old Northern Transportation Company and was in the Goodrich line up to within a few weeks of his death. State of Ohio and State of New York are the names selected for the City of Alpena and City of Mackinaw when they begin running in the new line between Cleveland and Buffalo next season. General Manager Carter ofthe Detroit and Cleveland Steam Navigation Company says that the present officers of these boats will be given positions on the new D. & C. boats when they come out next summer.
