CARGO STEAMERS NOVEL RIG
Fitted with A Derrick Masts Set
in Pairs Ranging Athwartships.

There appeared in the East River the
other day a steamer having four masts
which were set not ranging fore and aft
in line amidships, as masts commonly
ate, but in pairs, one pair forward and
the other aft. and with the pairs as
thus set ranging athwartships, making
a strange looking rig. But a closer
view showed these masts to be derrick
masts such as many steamers carry.
only differently placed.
This steamer was the Norwegian
tramp Pollux. a vessel 257 feet in
length and of a cargo capacity of
about 1000 tons, For a vessel of her
size she has unusually large matches,
designed to take in engines or machin-
cry or other large pieces of freight. She
has one such hatch aft and another for.
ward. and forward of the latter IN
other smaller hatch.
The after pair of derrick masts rise
from the two forward corners of tho
big after hatch. the forward pair rise
from the two forward corners of the
big forward hatch and between that
and the hatch further forward. The
masts are supported by stays running
down from the mastheads of each pair
to the sides of tho vessel, and each pair
as a brace running across from mast
head to masthead.
Up the inboard side of each mast are
set step irons by which The masthead
can be reached. The masts, which are
sixty-ive feet in height. and theil
booms are all of steel. There is an in
dependent winch for each Mast.
Steamers with their derrick masts SC
placed are rare. The owners of this
vessel. which is about three years old
have another steamer of the same di-
mansions, built at the same time and
similarly rugged, this sister ship being
row trading in Chinese waters. All
officer of the Pollux said that there are
two larger steamers of recent construc-
ton. one q Swedish and the other q
German vessel, leach having seven OF
eight derrick /masts which are not
stepped in line amidships, but ranging
in two lines nearer the sides.-NeN

absolute rudeness. 1t is related that
one day a very voluble lady took her
daughter, who was Ill. to see him.
(which of you two wants to consult
me?' said Abernethy.
my daughter" replied the elder
woman.
Abernethy then put a. question to the
girl. Before she had a chance to reply
her mother began a long story. Aber-
nethy told her to be quiet and repeated
his question to the girl. A second time
the woman began a story, and a second
time he told her to be quiet; then she
interrupted him a third time.
Put your tongue out, he said to the
mother.
But there's nothing the matter with
me- she exclaimed.
Never mind. put your tongue out" "
he commanded.
Thoroughly oyerawed. the woman
obeyed.
Now keep it out" said Abernethy,
and he proceeded to examine the girl
