terrific storm struck the vessel after round
ing Cape Horn. January 2S but the high seas
dfd no damage demonstrating that the turret
design makes a good seaboat
The Inverness was built by William Doxford
& Sons Of Sunderland, England, who control
the patents on the turret design, and Is 366 rect
long, so feet wide and feet deep She draws
but 21 feet Of water. One advantage OF the
turret design is light draft. Another is hold
without beams and stanchions particularly
valuable for loading lumber and grain.
The capacity of the turret is about l21s per
cent greater than the ordinary steamer OF the
same tonnage The design resembles the
American whaleback, but has wide nat bot
tom. The steamer has eleven feet OF free
board and the narrow deck is high above the
waterine.
The Inverness is a sister ship to the Claw
erly, which brought a partial cargo to this
port about three months ago. The Claverly Is
now under a second charter to carry coal to
Mexican ports firm British Clumbia. Captain
Venus said today that the high price of coal
on this coast is the probable cause OF the
owners of the Inverness seeking charter to
India, where a number of her type are en-
gagged in oriental trade.
The Inverness took 10000 tons Of coal for this
voyage which cost fifteen shillings. or about
one-third what coal costs ON this coast Snip
pers are getting the benefit of low freight rates
on this coast, but the owners of big coal burn
ing steamers find the oriental trade more
profitable
