New Tug ANNA Il. Fay Haa to Adam
don Her Voyage.


The voyage OF the Boston & Alaska
Transportation Company's new twin
screw tug. Anna Z. Fay. TO her field OF OPP
GRAFTON In the far north, has been post
poned indefinitely.
The Fay left Seattle the latter part OF
last week for Dutch harbor, which place
Is to be her future headquarters. When
half way between here and Port Townsend
the engineer discovered that try as he
would the steam could not be kept up
Coal was repeatedly shoveled into the
furnace until the door was red hot, but
Notwithstanding every effort Of the en-
gineer. the steam could not be made to
rise above seventy-five pounds. Despite
this circumstance. however. the captain
determined TO pursue his voyage. and the
tug continued on her way. moving along
al a speed OF about three knots.
Port Angeles was finally reached after
a tiresome run Of sixteen hours, and the
officers and crew of the Fay decided that
they had had enough OF IL. After a con-
sultation. II was decided TO return to Sc
attic. which they did. arriving here early
yesterday morning.
The engineers state that the tugs boil
err Is not large enough 10 contain suffi-
Gent amount OF steam necessary TO oper-
ate the machinery. A new boiler OK larger
steam capacity Is now on the way IRON,
Chicago. Upon It's arrival the small one
will be taken out OF the tug and the new
one substituted.
