UnaIea Well Fitted For Towing,
The United States revenue cutter
Unalga, now shere and prepared to re-
sumo the voyage to the North Pacific
coast, is declared as well adapted for
towing of distressed vessels. The
new cutter, built on the east coast,
and row rounding out a tour of the
world, possesses a wide stean1ing
radius, as Is borne out by her recent
performance in coming from Japan to
the islands. The vessel has ma
chinery capable of sending her
through the water at rate of thirteen
knots an hour. II has been pointed
out, that a vessel similar to the.
Unalga would prove distinctly valu-
able to the work now undertaken by
federal officials in these islands.
