COLONIAL BEACH, Va,
September 5, 1902
The most successful season in the history
of this resort is now drawing to close.
BY the middle of this month the majority
Of visitors will have returned to their homes
and only the permanent residents and
few who have come here for the fishing
and hunting which are now excellent in this
vicinity, will be left.
So prosperous has the present season been
that already plans of considerable magnt-
tude are being formed for the coming year
having in view the betterment of the trans
portation facilities between here and Wash
ington. Where the present time necessary
to make the trip from Washington is from
five to six hours, it is proposed to shorten
this from two to three hours. The plans,
as at present outlined, contemplate the for
nation of stock company which Is to
purchase a boat to run from the Beach to
Pope's Creek, Maryland, and there connect
with the Baltimore and Potomac railroad.
1t Is stated that the railroad company has
offered to run train from Washington to
Pope,s Creek I'M one and half hours, and
that the3 boat will be able to cover the
twelve miles between there and the Beach
in another hour II these plans are carried

Success of the Trial on the
Mariposa.
1T. WINCHELL'S REPORT
INFORMATION OF VALUE TO THE
SHIPPING WORLD.
Mean Speed Attained by the Vessel
3.5S KnotS-About 27S Barrels
Consumed Each Day.

The report of Lieutenant Ward Winchel.
United States navy, the expert detailed by
the Navy Department to observe the eff
ficiency and installation of the Oil fuel
system as fitted to the Oceanic Steamship
Companys steamer Mariposa, has been re-
ceived at the Navy Department,
The report is an exceedingly interesting
one and contains Information Of great
value to the shipping and naval world. The
value of the report lies in the fact that it
contains positive information in regard to
the evaporative efficiency of the boilers and
shows wherein the installation of the Mari
posa differs from that of other vessels.
The gross displacement of the Mariposa
Is 8, 100 tons. The average horse power de-
Yeloped was about .. 4S1. The average dis
lance made each day by the ship was 3o4
knots. giving a mean speed of 1913 There
was consumed each day about 2TS barrels Of
3 720 pounds per hour. 1t practically re-
guired liz pounds of oil per hour to secure
a horse power and while this result has
been secured on shore in highly efficient
engines. the consumption Is practically 80
per cent less in weight of combustibles than
would be required of coal. The ship re-
Quired 262 hours to make the voyage from
San Francisco to Tahiti, while only 26O
hours were required to make the return

A Remarkable Voyage.

The voyage of the Mariposa was remark
able in many respects. She made the voy
age between San Francisco and Tahiti and
return, distance of 7,O9S miles, without
any extended sea trial. There had been
three short preliminary tests Of the ma
chinery. The first trial was one Of four
hours duration, where coal was used. and
which simply tested the engine and boiler
joints and the general working Of the ma
chinery. The other two trials were of
eight hours duration, each with liquid
fuel as a combustble. Even on
the last preliminary trial 1t was
noted that certain changes were need
ed as to the details of installation
and these Improvements were directed
to be made. AS result. the final touches
OF the oil fuel installation on the Marposa
were not completed until a few minutes
before the ship started for Tahiti.
The machinist at work on the several
parts of the system knocked off work
just before the gong was rung for the
people to Ego on shore. The trip was not
only tribute to the skill and efficiency Of
the mechanics on the Pacific coast but it
showed the enterprise of the Oceanic
Steamship Company in boldly meeting the
question of the application of oil fuel in
stallation to their fleet Of vessels on the
Pacific ocean.

Force of Men Reduced.

By the use of oil as fuel the compile
ment of the ship had been reduced from
eighty-one to sxty-five. thus decreasing the
force in the engine room from thirty-s six
to twenty men.
The crude oil was atomized by means OF
an air compressor which had a capacity
of 1000 cubic feet of air per minute COM
pressed to thirty pounds
The Mariposa has eighteen furnaces in
her boilers. only twelve of which were used.
Two burners were installed in each furnace,
although all the burners were not in use
except at short intervals when the engines
were run at full power.
The report of Lieut.. Winchell shows that
special precautions had been taken in VEN
tilating the oil fuel tanks and that the
company had used every safeguard possible
to free these compartments of fumes and
explosive gases Only one days supply Of
coal was taken on board the ship a safe
guard FOR reaching port in case there was
a complete breakdown of the oil-fuel in
stalatior. THIS shows how confident the
managers of the Oceanic Steamship Com
pany were that successful results would be
secured. There were checks and counter
checks placed upon the oil consumption,
since the reserve supply of oil was not very
great.
The. engineering experts at the Navy De-
partment are most interested in the fact
that a careful inspection failed to show
any bad effect of the flame upon any part
of the boiler. After reaching Tahiti after
the run of 3, 43S miles, the tubes were swept
by ;Scrapers, and all the refuse collected
barely filled two ash buckets, and some of
this stuff came from the coal which had
been used on one of the preliminary trials.

Character of Engine Room Men.

Particularly interesting is Lieut.. Win
chelps opinion as to the character of men
that should be employed in the fire rooms
where there is oil fuel installation. 1t
neither requires physical endurance nor
previous training with coal fire. The men
placed in charge of the contrivance, how
ever. should have mechanical aptitude and
possess readiness of resource and nerve.
The senses of sight, hearing and touch
must be exercised at all times since it is es-
sential to keep a good lookout on the fur
mace to note by the sound the working of
the blowers and the completeness of COM
bustiOn and to check by the sense of touch
the workings of mechanical contrivances.
If fewer men needed in the fire rooms
1T is requisite to secure men of high intel
ligenCe who can judge quickly as to the
tendency toward impairment.
The experience on the Mariposa shows
that II is essential to keep a constant air
pressure for atomiZlng the oil, to make
provision for maintaining regular tempera-
lures of the oil combustible, and to keep
steady watch on the oil strainers.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1902-09-06
Regulating the Oil Supply.

The principal difficulties encountered were
in the regulation of a supply of oil to the
heaters by the pumps, and this caused the
variation of the temperature of the heated
oil, thus influencing the flow through the
burners. Some difficulty was found from
the choking of the strainers by foreign
matters ard impurities in the oil. The
simple installation of duplicate strafners
on the next trip will obviate this difficulty
thus permitting a clear strainer to be
switched in while the choked one is cleared
of its obstruction.
The speed obtained on the return trip
was much higher than that attained on the
trip to Tahiti This was due to the fact
that the firemen became better accustomed
to manipulating the burners. 1t affords
substantial evidence of the fact that the
work of operating the burners will become
easier rather than more difficult on trips
of great length.
The company had wisely taken the pre-
caution to arrange the burners so that
steam could be used as the atomizing agent
in case the compressor became impaired.
On one or two instances during the voyage
the compressor did need overhauIng, and
the oil was sprayed by steam while these
repairs were being made.
