arrived off Waikiki. A fresh
breeze springing up late
in the afternoon, the pilot decided
to sail the vessel into the harbor
without the aid of the tug. After
towing in the Paul Isenberg, the
tug went out again to the Allen,
but her services were not required.
The Allen was safely brought into
the harbor and anchored near

The scheme of towing great
quantities of logs in cigar-shape
RATS, which has been tried with
varying degrees of success between
Joggins, N. B., and New York, is
being introduced on the Pacific
coast, according to the Northwest
ern Lumberman. H. H. Robertson,
Of St. John, N. B., who is said to be
the inventor of the Joggins sys-
tenn, is constructing for the Fort
Bragg Redwood Company, at Fort
Bragg, large raft of timber for
transportation to San Francisco.
In making up the float a wide de-
parture is being taken from the
method pursued at Joggins. The
raft will be equipped with a rubber
and steering gear, and will carry
crew, with a full equipment of
signals for day and night use,
anchors, chains, so that the raft
can be navigated in case Of accident
to the tugs that are to do the tow
ing. The raft will be in the shape
of a cigar, will be $50 feet long, 36
feet wide in the centre, 81 feet
deep, and will contain 5000 piling
sticks.
