"AT- THE
CRITERION SALOON,
A HORRIBLE accident occurred at
Eleele last Tuesday. A Japanese
workman was crushed to death
on tne wnarr Dy a six-ton piece
of machinery.. The huge piece of iron
had been discharged from the steamer
Kiihau on her last trip and was loaded
onto a car, having been turned over
to the railroad. , It was standing up
right and alone when the workman
stooped to arrange some gear. The
gear fouled in some way and the great
piece of iron fell suddenly over onto
the Japanese, crushing him flat and
necessarily killing him instantly. '
The body was beyond recognition and
it is said that portions of it were car
ried away in a sack. The Japanese was
one; of the plantation laborers.
AN OVERDUE SHIP.
Anxiety Is being felt as to the safety
of the ship Beacon Rock, now 65 days
out from Port PIrie to Wellington. She
left the Australian port with 1,150 tons
of concentrates and lead ores as bal
last and has not been heard of since;
Fine weather prevailed off ' the south
coast of .Australia for' some days after"
her departure, and since then strong
westerly gales have been experienced."
Latterly tthere has been ugly weatner
from th south and north, and it It
possible that she may have met with
a mishap. On the 9th Inst, the S. Si
Rotomahana sigh ted. ra.'jsbip off Cape
Campbell, " the identiy '"of which has
not yet been established. It is suggest
ed that the Australian Government
should despatch a steamer to search
the coasts and the Chatham Islands for
traces of the missing- vessel.
Recent developments in shipbuilding
have mainly been connected wltn
steamers; yet that the shipwright's
skill in constructing sailing craft has
by no means lapsed during these latter
days is amply proven by the case of the
fine six-master schooner George W.
Wells. '
The George W. Wells has just been
successfully launched from the . Bean
shipyard in Camden, Mass. She is the
largest vessel of her kind in the world
and is Nregarded among sailing cratt
with much the same Interest as .the
Oceanic and the Deutschland are
among steamers.
She has 2,750 tons net register, with
a carrying capacity of" ovjr 5,000 tons,
while she is 302 feet long In the keel, 343
feet long on top, 23 feet deep and has
a beam measurement of 48 feet.
She has a couple of full decks, her
frame throughout being made of white
oak( while all her planking and ceiling
is bf hard pine. Her keelson is remark
able, being 13 feet high aft and 17 feet
forward and built of hard pine timber
It is fastened with no fewer than
,J',f Pne'and three-ei.shths inch iron
boits. ' ' s
-The vessel's fittings Include a Hyde
v. IndlasB. operated by a 3Ch6re poweY
engine; two pumps, with a combined
capacity 'of "1,200 gallons -MWrtite;-a
stockless anchor, weighing 8.200 pounds,
and' a Camden r .anchor,' weighing 7,500
pounds, besides kedge and.stceajn an
chors. weighing respectively 900 pounds
and 600 Tounds, and, 200 falhprnp of Jwo
and one-half inch bar cnain.- i .
-"Heir-water tanks hold 7,000 gallons,
Her six lower masts are splendid sticks
of Oregon pine, each 119 feet long and
30 inches in diameter In. the partners
topmasts each 53 feet long, the foretop-
mast 28 Inches in diameter at tne cap.
The Jibboom is 75 feet long, 20 Inches
at cao: dlverboom 75 feet long. 18
inches in the slings;' other "booms, 42
feet long, 14 inches in the slings,
All the standing rigging is of wire.
set up with turnbuckles. '
The masts are named as follows be
ginning forward: Foremast, main
mast, mizzenmast, . spa.nkermast, Jlg-
germast, and drivermast. TheT vessel
will carry '12,000 square yards ,of the
heaviest duck, in the following pieces:
Driver, jigger,- spanker, mlzzen main
and fore sails, six gafftopsatls of the
same respective , designations, driver,
jipger, spanker, mlzzen and maintop-
mast staysails, and five Jibs.
In the after-house are the cabins and
i i i . .
nan. ii dozen siaierooms. besides a
chartroom.
Some idea of the immensity of the
vessel may be had from the fact that
over a million feet of hard pine were
used in its construction and about 100.-
ooo feet of white pine deck plank. In
deed, her material would make a load
for several average-sized schooners.
Not only is the vessel of remarkable
size, but -she is uncommonly handsome
withal, for her great length .takes away
all appearances of bulklness, so, that
she looks more like an immense yacht
Twelve schooners like her, ranged in
line, would occupy a mile of pier front
age, for from the top of her driverboom
to the tip of her Jibboom is about 425
feet. A schooner that would have been
considered large a score of years, ago
could not carry enough coal- to ballast
the George W. Wells. '
All this is vexy satisfactory as far as
It goes, but the most satisfactory Ihing
of all from the owner's point of view
is the fact that this magnlfllcent craft
should be a splendid monev-maker.
Carrying at least 5,000 tons of coal on
a draft of only 24 feet and with only 14
men all told for crew master, two
mates, steward, engineer and nine sea
menshe should easily beat her com
petitors at carrying men when freights
are low. A full-rigged h!p of eqinl
size would require" to carry at leas 3'
men all told.
LAUNCHING BOATS AT. SEA.
A patent has been applied ; for, in
Australia, , for an invention to provide
he safe and effectual launching
of boats from a vessel at eea, or when
wrecked upon a 'lee shore. It is a
well known fact that In a great num
ber of instances efforts to save the
lives of passengers or crew in such
a position are frustrated by the boats
being dashed to pieces against- tho
sides of the. vessel. The invention un
der notice provides for the launching
or the boats in quite a novel manner,
not parallel with the ship, as at pres
ent, but with head to" the sea. This Js
accomplished by means of',, patent
telescopic davits, which are made to
ran from the foot or step , of - the
davits, working on trunnions, ' one
i
man beine lowered in" the boat
its reaching the water he releases .one
end of the boat, causing it to swing
round and ride, facing the j gale. At
tached to the davLts will jbea canva,s
shute to lower passengers into a boat,
the crew, who will have to pull the
boat going first, "and taking their
position at .the oars. The passengers
will then be lowered until the boat
(has her, full complement, . when the
man at the bow, at a given signal,
disconnects the boat from the davit,
t-h davit soringine. ud clear of boat
bv the action of mechanism aboard
the sb.iD.-and the boat pulling to sea.
It Is the intention .of the. Jnventor to
offer this clever, device tQ anr Austra
lian syndicate. A number of old nau
tical men and retired tnaster mariners
have expressed thorough' confidence in
its practical .working, and admit its
necessity, as all . previous ? Inventions
to provide for the launching of. boat
at sea ihave failed io secure the cert
talntr of r& boat floating-free from' the
side of the . vessels -'i - '
