MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
STANDARD OIL VESSELS DEPART
FOR THE SOUTH.

Barge 81 Combination of Labor
Saving Devices-Its High Foremost
Also Serves SmOlSe-Stack
which Carries Sparks Where Wind
Sweeps Them Ayvsy-wns the First
of the Standards Cheap Freight
ers-y1atters of Interest to shippers
and Mariners.
The Standard Oil Compauy's vessels
barge No, 81. in town of tug No. , left
yesterday for Jacksonville, where The bal
ance of the cargo of oil will be discharged.
The work of disciarging was delayed con-
siderably this trip, which kept the V ssels
here longer than they usually remain. Aft
er finishing at Jacksonville the vessels
will return North for ether cargoes.
The barge is a great lahor-saver, as
compared with the way the Standard for
merly transferred its oils from the river
to its tanks on the Thuuderb1lt road. AS
previously stated it is the first cheap
freghter of its kind The company bult,
and is 4 combination of all sorts of devices
for safety and economy in tie perform
ance of its work.
Aboard the barge is a powerful pump,
line, which connects the wEar eS and
yards The foremost of its four hugh lion
mastS is a combination mast ard smoke
stack. though in appe arauCe il canrot be
told from the others, and does not betr9y
its main use except when smoke from the
engine is TO be seen issuing f ON it 7 n
the combination mast is he best thing
which could be used fer the purpose is The
safety it insures the vessel and cargo by
carrying sparks high up where the wind
may more easily sweep them away.
Before the barges were puy into use
about two years ago the Standard brought
its oil in barrels by schooner to the Plant
System yards, where it was discharged
aud loaded on cars ana then transferred
to the yards and dumped in the tanks. Uu-
der the present system all the sixteen
tanks in the vessel may be thrown into
one by a system of pipes, connection made
with the pipe line, and the discharging
commenced in an hour. 1t rarely takes
over twenty-four hours to discharge half
the cargo of 10000 barrels. The pipe line
runs from Hunting's wharves to Bay, to
Randolph, and along Wheaton street to
the yards Nothing short of a very pow
erful pump would send the oil from the
barge to the tanks at the rate il is usually
discharged.
The Norwegian bark Colin Archer arriv-
y
is there for orders.
