The engine is fitted with a direet-acting steam, and a hand, worm reversing gear, also a steam turning gear at aft end of thrust shaft. The propeller is four-bladed cast steel, of sectional type.

The boilers, two in number, are of the Babcock & Wilcox type, and placed with a 12-ft. space between them to fire athwartships. The working pressure is 250 Ibs. per square inch, and the steam is superheated, the superheater being placed on top of boiler proper. The boilers-are fitted with the mechanical stoker built by the Duluth Stoker Co., the coal being fed into hoppers, passing from thence' on to traveling grates, the ashes being deposited at the back of boilers and MRS. A. B. WOLVIN. discharged overboard by means of steam-driven elevators. The boilers are fitted with a system of induced draft, having two 7 ft. 6 in. diameter fans driven by double 6x5 in. high- speed engines. To purify and heat the feed water before reaching the boilers, two Learmonth purifiers are fitted, also a large heater into which all the auxiliaries exhaust. There are the following auxiliaries in the engine room: The pumps, all being of the Blake type; one vertical cross compound simplex ait pump; two horizontal cross compound simplex ballast pumps; horizontal duplex pony pump; one horizontal duplex bilge pump; one horizontal duplex cooler pump; two general elec- tric generating sets of 15 K.

In every respect the vessel has been fitted out and built to meet the most modern MRS. J. C. WALLACE, requirements of the lake service, and there is not the slightest doubt but what she will fulfil every anticipation made of her. To the foresight, skill and ability of Mr. A, B, Wolvin, for whom this vessel is named, is due the credit of her hav- ing been built for the Acme Steamship Co., and to Mr. Jas. C. Wallace, vice-president and general manager of The Am- erican Ship Building Co., and his associates, is due the credit for the design of the general structure. It is the intention of Mr. J. C. Wallace to have the Wolvin establish the record cargoes for the great lakes during the coming season. He wants her to establish the ore record, the coal record (both hard and soft) and the grain record. She has already been. chartered for "her first trip. Her initial 'trip will be to take 12,500 tons of coal from Lorain to the head of the lakes, which will, of course, 'be by. far the largest cargo The cargo will be furnished b¥ possesses in herself 'unusual f. cilities for both loading and unloading, but. it is intended to. 'give her as well on this first. trip the utmost dispatch, in order. that both loading and un- loading © records" may be. 'established. The master of the steamer has not yet. been appointed, but Mr. Andrew Hass will be her chief. ene Foe feted The list of guests invited to. the launch' was 'as | ee Chas.
