called, is a magnificent vessel of 1000
tons, with twin engines amidships OF
] ,250 horsepower each, and similar

the bow: for the principle of the new
type of ice-breaker is TO- draw out the
water from under the ice ahead by the
suction of bow screw, when the ice
collapses by its own weight and pas

by the impact of the vessel. As will
be seen from my illustrations, the first

inches of hard snow on the top-such

sixty-five inches In summer her bow

large propellers substituted for her
