1902. ] MARINE REVIEW AND MARINE RECORD. 31 the Macy's life preservers, but on account of the high seas run- ning at the time it was out of the question to pick it up. Capt. George King, who was commissioned by Herman C. Ralph, for the Macy's owners, to make the trip along the north shore of Lake Erie between Port Burwell and Long point, returned to Detroit, after an unsuccessful effort to recover some of the lost bodies. He found the cabin of the Macy on the shore 14 miles below Port Burwell and 2 miles back from the lake. It had been carried there by farmers. Other wreckage was discovered along the beach. 'the Cleveland Cliffs Iron Co. is about to install an electric power distribution system for operating mixers and blowers in its Gladstone, Mich., plant. They have recently purchased from the Westinghouse Electric & Mfg. Co. two 75-K.W. direct-current generators and eight 10-H.P. direct-current motors. 'The Pioneer Iron Works of Marquette, Mich., owned by the Cleveland Cliffs Co., will also be equipped with electrical apparatus, which will be used for the operation of mixers»and blowers, as in the Gladstone plant. Apparatus recently purchased from the Westinghouse Elec- tric & Mfg. Co. for the Marquette plant includes ten 10-H.P. direct-current motors and two 150-K.W. engine-type generators to be direct connected to two Westinghouse compound condens- ing engines. The company has also ordered a Baldwin-Westing- house electric locomotive to be used for shifting cars in its yards. Hon. Perry Beimont, who recently sold his auxiliary steam yacht watanella to Mr. M. J. Lawrence of Cleveland, and which has left for a southern cruise with her new owner on board, has commissioned Messrs. Gardner & Cox, naval architects of No. 1 Broadway, New York, to look up for nim a boat of about the same size as the Satanella, possessing more speed. Mr. Bel- mont's reason for selling the Satanella was primarily that the boat was too slow for his use between New York and Newport, and as his many business enterprises make it necessary for him to visit New York frequently during the yachting season, he desires a boat of good speed to utilize in this service. Wrecking Master Harris W. Baker of Detroit is figuring . upon taking a boat and pumps to the scene of the steamer C. B. Lockwood, sunk off Ashtabula, O., and recover the grain cargo which went down with the boat. A diver has returned after making an examination and reports the Lockwood's decks out but the cargo all there and deep enough down so that the action of the water will not carry it away. During cold weather the grain could be pumped out and this Capt. Baker says he will do if the weather moderates sufficiently to allow a boat to work above the wreck.

Allen Riveting Machine Works, 370-372 Gerard avenue, New York, on Dec. 1, delivered to the United States navy yard at Brewerton, Wash., one of their large-type jaw rivéters. © A similar riveter is also in use at the navy yard at Portsmouth, as well as in the works of the New York Ship Building °Co., Camden, N.

It is on Lake Winnipesanker, the largest of New Hampshire lakes. During the summer time hundreds of people congreg- ate there and a long time had to go from 10 to 12 miles for their mail. Now the mail is taken from the Lakeport office on the Dolphin, a steamer constructed for the purpose, and is delivered to the cottages along the shore. The steamer was constructed for this purpose by Dr. G. H. Saltmarsh of Laconia. "CLAM SHELL" BUCKETS 'now one. HOLE PATENTS The Webster, Camp & Lane Co. BUILDERS.
