other life saving appliances for the
equipment of their passenger steam

latest and most approved makes and
when in place on the steamers, will
make the vessels acceptable in every
respect to the inspectors.
Besides the RATS there were three
line-carrying guns of the Lyle type,
These instruments have been used
with a great deal of success and were
selected for their excellence. They
are chiefly useful in dispatchirg lines
from vessels TO shore where the sea

They carry a hne a great distance

The Korea and Siberia.

Ii is said by a man who lately re-
turned from the East that the two
big steamers building forj jthe Pacific
Mail Company, the Korea and Sibe-
ria, will be when finished as fine as
any of the Atlantic vessels in exist
ence. They are being built by the
company at its Newport News yards
and are now nearing completion.
They are not built by contract but by
day labor and no money or time is
being spared to make them models
OF what can be done in an American
snip yard Ii is said that the Siberia
Will be the first one TO make her ap-
pearance here and that she will come
here from the yards by way of Porto

laborers and bring them around the

about four months. The Korea viii

months later. Both vessels will bring

OF the conversations of those who like
a good ship and know one when they

In the first place the Alta has
great carrying capacity and her rig
makes ii possible to operate her with
very small crew. Where yesseis
like the r. p. Rithet, the Mohican. the
Albert and others of much smaller
capacity need crew OF eight or nine,
the Alta may be readily worked with

port consisted Of twenty-four hundred

This is within ten thousand collars
Of what the Jane L. Stanford cost and
when the latter vessel is gone and
forgotten, the Alta will be a likely
vessel and able 10 carry any sort Of a

On her first trip from Glasgow .
the Colonies the Alta made the run
in eighty-seven days. and on the voy-
age from the Colonies here, although
she did not make a remarkably fast
trip on account of variable and baf-
ding winds. she made as high as three
hundred knots on several days run.
Captain Thronagel Is proud of his YES
sci and his mate is fairly in love with
the Alta.
Some OF the remarkable points Of
the vessel are that on a load line OF
seventeen feet, she carries twenty-four
hundred tons Of coal. this makes
wharfage and pilotage cheap in many
ports Having no tween deck. she
is a remarkably easy vessel TO load

Murphy on the Transport.

Francis Murphy made his appear
ance on the waterfront yesterday. He
was on the transport Warren in the
afternoon for q talk with the return
ing soldier boys and held very sue
cessful meeting on the deck of the
big steamer. The lecturer was well
received as he always is and he spoke
to the men in a way that interested
them and the longer he spoke the
more there were not listened. 1t was
a heart TO heart talk and it is hard
to say whether il was more enjoyed
by the men or the speaker. Certainly
both auditors and speaker seemed
an hour and when Murphy concluded
IL was apparent that the men were in
terested in what they hau heard. as
they wanted the temperance advocate
to come 10 them again and talk. Many
Of them promised to attend his meet
ing at the Central Union church last
night and they were true to their
word. for there was a goodly number
present to give their testimony and
take the pledge.
Since the lectures of the temper
snce advocate began the advent of
many blue ribbons has been noticed
among the workers along the wharfs
and while all the wearers of the sign
OF total abstinence are not men who
would be classed as drinking men still
their intention TO abstain from the use
of Intoxicating liquor is made appar-
ent and the little badge is often the
cause OF q question or a remark that

too should wear one OF the bits of silk
in the lapels of their coats. In this
way the good work goes on.
