the yards of the Harlan & Hollingsworth
Shipbuilding Company of this city. Be-
meath clear skies and urged on by the
cheers Of thousand auditors the sturdy
little vessel slid from the ways ana
splashed joyousiy into the waters of the
Chrstiana mile from where it flows into
the historic Delaware. When the last block
was removed from its path the boat seemed
to pause upon the threshold. Miss Marian
West, daughter of District Commissioner
West, stepped to the bow just as the vessel
began its mad rush to the waves and broke
the bottle, containing water from the well
at Mount Vernon, saying she did SO, Il
christen thee Firefghter.

crossed in the winter of 1916, and 1t will be-
