Two years later Mr.. Harland was join
ed in partnership with Mr. Gustayius
Wilhelm Wolff, a wealthy German, and
in 1874 Messrs. Walter II. Wilson (de-
eeased) and William James Pierre
now Lord Pierre), pupils Of the firm
were also made partners in the con-
cern, which was subsequently foated
as limited liability company.
The business of the firm from the
very outset continued to increase by
leaps and bounds. In the year 1884,
exactly 15 years after Mr.. Harland
acquired the controlling interest in
the concern, there were launched
from the Queens Island yard AZ YES
sells, aggregating 105,625 tons burden.
In the three years ending 1890 their
total was 81 vessels, of 126,175 tons.

output, the figures being: In 1907, 81
2l0 tons; in 1903, 10000 tons, and in
1908, 106, 528 tons.
But perhaps one Of the longest of
several very tough tasks undertaken
by the firm of Harland & Wolff was
the lengthening Of the Castle line
Royal Mail steamer Scot (now the
Oceana, Of the Dutch Red Star feet).
1t was in 1896 that the Scot, a Green
steamer Of some seven or
eight thousand tons, was sent to Bel
fast to have so feet added to her length

that an examination Of Custer's body
showed that the wound which caused
his death was fired at close range, tbs
powder burns indicating plainly that
the pistol was held against the head.
Jackson was commanded by General
Reno to talk with the Indians after
they had been subdued b. the United
States troops in the hopes of finding
out how Custer was killed. The In
dians told Jackson that General Gus

Of General Miles, then being on a de-
tail along the Yellowstone river. Jack
son also secuted for General Miles
when he was running down Lame
Deer and his band Jackson shot and
killed Lame Deer, scalped him and
gave the scalp to General
Miles.
After the Indians had been driven
into Canada, Jackson acted as a guide
when General Miles burned over
large territory along the northern
of the United States and
drove south the buffalo so that the
Indians were forced to surrender the
following winter.

Several Of the government depart
ments have started on overhauling Of
their business systems without walt

what has been accomplished thus in
piece-meal fashion gives a forecast Of
what may be expected later. In the

:! :! : the most remarkable con

they have taken the lead in the con
5truction Of the largest ships afoat;
they have cut two of the finest, liners
on the seas in twain, and added con
siderable to their dimensions; and
they have built half a vessel, the stern

From the available record it ap-

was a wooden schooner Of $50 tons,
The builder being local Presbyterian
clergyman. This was in 1896, but it
was not until 1850 any serious attempt
was made in the shipbuilding line so
Tar as Belfast was concerned. In
that year Messrs. Thomas Barnes e

Iron works, erected small slip on
the now famous Queens Island, which
has long since lost its insular posi-
tion though still retaining the name
which was given it after the late
Queen Victorias visit in 1849, previou
TO which it was known as Dargan
Island The ironworks proved fa

stone to Belfast, but the small ship
yard thrived exceedingly under the
