LAST EDITION
FOR FLORIDA RIVERS.

Stern Paddle Wheel Steamboat
Launched sThis Morning From Pussy
and Jones's shipyard-Her Light Draft.
At H. 30 o'clock this morning the stern
paddle wheel steamboat st. Lucie, built
for the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West Railroad Company to run on the
Indian river, Fla. was launched from the
shipyard of the Pussy and Jones Com
pany
A few visitors had gathered to see the
launch, the party including several
ladies. None of the officers of the com
pany, except Captain William B. Watson
superintendent of construction, under
whose supervision the boat is being built
were present.
The new boat carried the national en-
sign at her bow and the American lack at
her stern, and after being cut loose from
take ways, slid into the water very slowly
and smoothly.
The tug Claudia laid in mid stream
displaying red flag, and as the new boat
entered the water blew a long blast on
her whistle and then backed around
caught hold of the new boat and towed
it to the wharf. The boilers will be nut
in at once and it is expected that the boat
will be finished by December 10 or 20.
Her dimensions are, length, 122 feet /,
breadth, 20 feet and depth OF hold feet
She is expected to draw about fifteen or
eighteen inches of water after beir q
completed
This light draft is necessary to freely
navigate Florida rivers which are very
shallow. She draws less than was ex-
pected ct this point in her construction,
only about or inches. Tho engines
have been put in, one on each side, there
being a crank to each end Of the paddle
wheels The boat is furnished with three
rudders and cupboard condensers.
