WILL LAUNCH SUBMARINE NEXT week
Eben Low Designs New Style of Oil
Tanker---Changes in Local Lights
Mauna Kea From Ports
Freighters Away Today

launched in the harbor the first yes
sci of the submarine type that has
been seen here. 1t has been built TO
the order of Eben Low and viii be
used for taking oil to the cannary of
Libby, Mcneil & Libby at Koolau.
Low is very proud of his powers
as designer and is hoping thar the
experiment will be a success. The
new craft is shaped like a cigar and
the only thing showing above water
will be a part of the whaleback end
the manhole. When it moves through
the water it will resemble in every
detail a submarine almost submerged.
The craft, which is to be called the
Richard Rooster, will hold 275 bar
rels OF oil and will be towed to the
cannery by Lows boats. 1t has
heel and bilges and Low hopes that
there will be no trouble about 1t roll'
ing. On the bow a swivel has been
fixed and the tow line will be attach
ed to this.
The practice of towing an oil tank
down to the cannery IS not a new ore
but the former craft was blunt-nosed
AFFAIR and very little speed could be
made. BY adopting the cigar shape
Low hopes to be able to make much
better time on the run down.

ments fall through a great fight Is
