A New York city policeman was the

wives, the wife has an equal right to

as in nearly every case a drunken man
would be found too great a coward to
resist.

LIVERPOOL TUGS.

sells of Great Power.


An American skipper recently ex-
pressed the opinion that he could al
ways find at Liverpool a tug that
could pull the timber out of his vessel
or tow him home in less time than he
could sail there. This is high COM
pliment, and one which is well de-
served, for the Liverpool tug fleet is
undoubtedly the finest in the world.
British tugboats by no means limit
their labOrs now to home or even
continental waters. When steam
ship breaks down a tug has to be
sent to tow her into port, and the
Same thing occurs when "a vessel is
disabled by collision or dismasted
in Il gale.
Among the recent lows may DO
mentioned that of the Stormcock,
which took the sailing ship Arden
caplc, of ZOO tons, from the Brazils
to u home port, says the Leisure
Hour The same tug has also towed
the disabled steamship Sobralense

of / so miles, in 100 hours The
William Jolifle towcd the steamship
Reading, 2,O0) tons, from Gibraltar
to the Isle of Wight in little over
five days. The Jane Joliffe towed
the steamship Marcotis, of 5000 tons,
from st. Vincent to England in the
depth of winter, her best days run
being l55 miles.
The Sara Jolliffo left Minorca with
tho steamship st, Donate in tow on
February II, reached Gibraltar four
days later and arrived at Cardiff on
the 25th. The voyage from England
to Minorca and back again with her
tow only occupied twenty days. An
other Liverpool tugboat, the Path
finder, towed the Sindia, OF 5000
tons, from London to Liverpool in
! seventy-one hours. Some little while
back three tugs left Dundee, each
bound for Cardiff with vessel in
tow. The Blazer of Liverpool, towed
| the Balmoral Of 1000 tons. The
Maulesden, 800 tons, was towed by
the Flying Venture of Glasgow,
while smaller vessel, the Brablock,
was in charge of the Columbia of
London. Each vessel left Dundee at
the same time and each took the
northern way round through the
stormy Pentland Firth. The first
vessel to arrive at Cardiff was the
Scotch tug. followed two hours later
| by the Blazer, while the Columbia
brought up the rear at an interval of
eighteen hours. Allowing for extra
weight, the first prize in this inter-
csting race must go to the Liverpool
tug which towed b. far the larger
