rum and kept the senate in session al
night breaking all talk records by
holding the floor continuously ovel
eighteen hours. In trying to head him
off Vice President Fairbanks employed
the famous Reed rule Of counting q
quorum when the Democrats present
refused to answer to the roll call. Also
steps were taken to limit debate, con.
trary to the senate traditions.
The final official total Of the ses-
sion's appropriations is $1.0O8, 804, 1914.

Gasoline.

Our article upon boats would not
be complete were we to omit speak
ing of the oil used to create the pow
er in the motor boats. With one eX-
ception, the launch Eva, which is
equipped with a Kerosene motor, ali
of orr launches use gasoline. This is
at present bought principally of the
Standard Oil Company. 1t is brought
here in drums and barrels from Pen
sacola to the amount of about 700
gallons per month.
The usual formula for rating the
consumption of oil is a pint per horse
power per hour run, which at 20 cents
gallon will give an easy way of de-
termining the cost of operating a
launch; launch having an s h. p.
motor consuming about one gallon of
oil per hour, costing 20 cents. This
amount will vary with different
styles of engines but it is approx
mately correct.

Steam Boat Lines.

In the early COS the tax of placing
steamboat on the line between
Mobile, Pensacola, and st Andrews
Bay materialized, and the steamer
Cumberland opened the trade. This
boat was followed by the Govr Dix
the latter by the Gulf City; then the
Alpha; after which came the TarpOn
and lastly the ManteO.
OF steamers designed to ply solely
on St Andrews Bay we note the little
steamer st Andrews, brought here by
Capt Ferguson in 1887, and the
steamer Hattie, built by II. G.. With
Grill, to carry the mail on the East
Bay mail line. For the power in this
boat II h. p. engine was ordered.
When received it was found to be
but h. p, and as the company had
failed, the owner had to suffer the
loss, and fail in his effort to run the
boat by steam power.

Sailing Vessels.

In another portion of the PILOT
will be found list of the motor boats
upon this bay, and herewith we give
a list of the larger vessels propelled
by sails. These consist of the Jolly
Rover, Cuba, Cleopatra, Lucy H.. ,
Maxwell, Beckie Lee, Viola, Lavinia,
Jessie P, Mabel, and Catfish.
One of the natty sailing vessels now
on the bay is the sloop Jolly Rover,
owned by II. NJ. Felix. This boat was
built in Tampa in 1906; its length
is 81 - feet, beam H. feet. 1t has a
live oak frame, yellow pine planking,
and cabin finished in mahogany and
cypress. The boat was built as a
home for its owner and his wife, and
they have kept the boat looking as
trim and neat as any private home
could be kept.
OF sail boats, which used TO be as
numerous as the families located up
on the shores of the bay, there are
now but a few as compared with the
DAYS before the advent of power
launches. 1t is estimated that there
are now about 80 of this class of
boats in service.

Ships Ways.

Tradition tells of favored localities
upon this bay as being used by the
old time pirates and buccaneers, for
the purpose of heaving over their
vessels where the deep water comes
close to the beach, and scraping the
bottoms and doing necessary repairs
on them. Smack bayou is pointed out
as one of these spots, and the same
place was used in early days by our
boat men for that purpose.
The first ships ways erected upon
the bay were those built by w. II.
Parker, at Parker in 1900. These
have a capacity for vessels of from
% to 80 tons burthen, and have proved
of great convenience to our vessel
men. In 1906 the German American
Lumber Company put in ways at
Millville.

the attention of the Government from
