LAUNCHED. AT | o'clock yesterday
afternoon the props were knocked from
under Capt Olney's twin propeller. and
she slid gracefully into the water. AS
soon AZ she commenced to move down
the ways. Miss Josie Jackling broke a
bottle of sparkling champagne over her
bow. and the captain unfurled her bur-
gee. . blue banner. on which. in large
white letters was the word Susie" the
name of the new craft. Steam was up.
and as We stated before, as soon as she
struck the water she was ready to pad
de her own canoe. After little turn
around she came back to the ship yard
and took on some wood preparatory to
making a little trial trip. A kcg Of
Mehlhorn's excellent beer was on hand
and by the way it disappeared We
should judge it was heartily enjoyed by
the numerous spectators. The ma
chinery works we'll, aud reflects credit
upon its builders-the proprietors Of
the North Pacific Iron Works. and the
hull is handsome. and will answer we'll
the purpose for which it is intended.
