they are more than paralleled by her
means of affording succor to disabled
ship or sailor. There is a machine shop,
manned by men experienced in quick
repair work, and hospital, thoroughly
modern in equipment and In charge OF a
skilled surgeon. A powerful derrick ana
other similar appliances make the Sene'
ca the equal of any wrecking tug now
af1oat. Diving apparatus renders pos
sible underwater repairs to damaged
vessels and as an alternative in case
damaged craft can not be put into
shape to limp into port under her own =
steam the Seneca has full compile
ment of steel and manila hawsers and
towing machines
Finally, to turn to yet another phase
of the Seneca's versatility, 1t may be
mentioned that this interesting new
good Samaritan of the high seas is, in
effect, floating life-saving station. she
has line-carrying guns, breaches buoys'
life and surf boats and, in short, all the
utensils of a modern life-saving corps,
and her boat crews are trained to han
die heavy-sea working boats under all
conditions likely to be encountered IN
rescuing imperiled persons from strand
ed or laundering ships. Moreover, the
Seneca will, at all times, carry an extra
supply of provisions for suffering mar
iners and has surplus quarters where
rescued persons may be accommodated
until they can be landed at some con-
venient port.
The Seneca is as powerful as she is
staunch. This is essential, for the snip
has been designed to be capable OF
steaming 5000 miles without once STOP
ping to replenish fuel or other supplies.
Obviously she will find her greatest
need for activity in stormy weather
and she has been designed accordingly.
Mention has already been made OF the
fact that her 1900 horse power, triple
expansion engines may, at any time,
be called upon to put forth the extra
force necessary to drag ship as large
or larger than the Seneca through long
leagues of unruly seas, and energy must
also be furnished to operate extra pow
erful wrecking and fire pumps. Incl
dentally, it may be noted that the crew
of the Seneca is as thoroughly drilled
in fire fighting as in life saving and a
ship af1re at sea will be robbed OF mucn
