girl who had aroused the royal enmity
was far on her way across the border of

The letter was from her royal lover. He

to America until such time as he could

HANDLING COAL IN LONDON.
A "Derrick POntoon" Which Distri-
butes Five CargOes Daily.
From the London Mail.


From the London Mail.
Infinite as is the variety of the shipping
that finds its way to the Thames, there is
due to arrive in the river to-day a craft
whose UNUSUAL appearance will excite the
curiosity Of the longshore population.
All o'clock yesterday morning there
left the Tyne, in charge of three powerful
tug boats, a large steel structure known
in shbbuilders' parlance as a derrick pom
toon, which, given good voyage, wiz haul
up to its berth to-day at the coal depots
of William Cory Son, limited, at Chall-
ton. This derrick pontoon, which has been
christened Atlas No. 3, Is specially intend
ed to facilitate the discharge and distribu-
ton of the sea-borne Goals.
The pontoon measures 500 feet In length
by AZ feet inches in width and IL feet
inches in depth, and her outfit of machin-
cry is of such an ingenious and powerful
character that she can claim to be the only
craft of her kind in the world Atlas No
has, indeed, been specially designed to
carry out a specific purpose, and when
she is safely moored at her berth London
ers will be able to see their coal handled
at rate which cannot be equaled at any
other coal-importing center.
At Charlton there are now two floating
derricks, but they are simply ole ships
converted for the purpose. The new der
rick pontoon Is shipshaped at the ends with
poop at each end, and has four lines of
rails running nearly its entire length. On
one side-the side y~s~sER, will present it,
self TO the river, al which the steam col
liers are to lie-there are nine hydraulic
grabs, with Weighing machines attached
running on one pair Of rails With these
grabs, when collier arrives alongside, the
coal will be hurried out Of the holds, weigh
cd and registered, and then swung round
and discharged into nine corresponding
chutes travelling on another pair of rails
and from the chutes the Goals are shot out
on the opposite side of the pontoon into
barses.
In the course OF a day Il Is estimated that
this derrick pontoon will be able TO handle
In this way about 900 tons Of coal, or the
cargoes of four to five ordinary steam col
lers.
Nor does this exhaust the equipment OF
Londons new coal distributor. There Is a
complete set Of workshops on board, SO
that repairs can be done by the STAFF, a
large kitchen, with range and grin, and
separate dining rooms for the llghtermen,
private cabins for the captain and engln-
eer in charge, and handsomely fitted d.
rectors' room, while the electric Hight Is
fitted throughout.
The Cory Company imports and Dispatch
cs over London and IT'S environments be-
tween five and six million tons OF sea-borne
coal per year This vast quantity Is used all
most entirely for household. manufactur-
ing and bunkering purposes. and leaves
out Of account another two or three mill
lion tons imported by the great gas CONF
panies for lighting purposes. and also the
large quantity Of rail-b0rne house coal
that comes Into the metropolis from tho
Yorkshire ana Midland coal helds.
