When a strange craft was sighted COM

n new ocean liner on government
steamer for It's high topsides and mas
sive fittings loomed up like man-of-war
or some similar craft as II steamed
through the narrows at Fields point. ana
all sorts OF rumors were current TIL the
craft could be seen closer by the glasses
Then Il was seen that II was tug, a
tremendously overgrown towboat. IT is
true. but nevertheless a tug, big enough
TO be the grand daddy OF all such GRAFT
IL was the new ocean-going tug Paul
Jones OF the Thames Towboat company or
New Haven which was on It's maiden
trip, being fresh from the hands or the
builders
Captain Abe w. Huntly. late OF the Ma
than Hale was In the pilot house as the
big craft swept up the river and through
the draw at Point street bridge TO the
wharf at the Providence Coal company
Tho boatmen who were at liberty hasten
ed to the dock glad OF the chance to In
spect the big craft at close range and
many were shown over the Interior md
ing many things 10 marvel at both In the
engine room and the great space for stor-
age which the craft has.
OF $40 tons capacity, Captain Huntly
thinks he has a craft that is far larger
than any other towboat IN these waters
IL not In the world and she Is all Of 800
tons larger than the Valley Forge be-
longing TO the Reading company. which
was considered the largest OF Its kind be-
fore the Paul Jones took the water. When
the bunkers are filled she carries 600 tons
OF coal and there are tanks for $50 tons OF
water so that IL can be seen that the
craft Is capable OF carrying fuel for a
long ocean voyage, IL necessary. as only
a ton OF coal an hour Is required for the
boilers. The the engines are Neafey and
Leavy's OF the triple expansion type and
develope according 10 the captain, 1900
horse power. The dimensions OF the Paul
Jones will give an idea OF the room re-
ouired TO manoeuvre for she Is 1877 feet
long. 81 feet beam and draws II feet OF
water and when the craft tried to leave
the wharf II was found there was no room
to turn around and II was necessary TO
back down through the draw. at which
time the steam stearing apparatus did
good service.
Many other modern improvements
were added when the craft was fitted up
including an electric lighting plant and
sectional wheel There are also eight big
nre plugs placed at intervals around the
deck so that the craft would be very use
full In case OF fire along a harbor front
After the big tug passed through the
draw IL took tow OF light barges and
started on the return trip.
The Paul Jones carries a crew OF 10
men. She Is TO work in the Bermudas and
