Cap Trafalgar was certainly a fine
vessel, fitted up with every conven-

travel She was, like nearly all Ger
man passenger steamers, provided
with guns, and when the war begun
was changed into an auxiliary cruiser
and sent out to prey on British and
French commerce. She soon met a
British cruiser, against whose power
full armament her guns were weak
and her sides like paper, so now the
fine ship, built with care and indus

The Star has received a copy of a
handsome memorial volume, con-
tanning the press notices regarding
the life and death of Mr.. Flagler
The Star is gratified to find its own
tribute to that good citizen, great
business man and real captain Of in
dustry is given a prominent place.
The Star was not one of the papers
that toadied to Mr.. F1agler. But it
appreciated the great good he did in
his life, and sincerely regretted his
death The compilers of the memor-
ial volume seem to have used the
entire good taste of estimating the
tributes to the dead by their face
value, and the result is a book that
any FIorfdian may we'll add to his
library.

FLORIDA AND CUBA
FERRY SHIP FLAGLER
Craft Which, Like the Overseas
Railroad, is Alone i'm Its Glass

TGmes-Union, 23rd: Miss Florence
Marie Beekwith, daughter of Vice
President ]. P. Beckwith of the Flor
ida East Coast railway, the Flagler
System, yesterday broke the bottle
over the bow OF the big new sea-go-
ing ferry boat and as it glided into
the water christened it Henry VI.
Flagler.
The launching, at the Cramp yards
in Philadelphia, was made the occas-
ion of real interest to officials OF the
Florida East Coast and its invited
friends because of its nearness of all
OF them to the man who built the
road and whose dream OF ferry con-
nection between the Florida keys
and Havana are about to be realized.
Practically all the executive family
of the company were present and the
launching was success. The great
ship is now ready to have the inter
Tor fittings and engines installed and
as soon as completed will be brought
to Florida and placed in commits
sion between Havana and Key West.
When the Henry NJ Flagler is ply
ing between the southern terminus
of the Florida East Coast road at
Key West and Havana, freight cars
Will be loaded in Cuba, sealed, and
sent thru direct to destination, any
where in the United States, without
reloading, transferring or handling
enroute.
1t is understood that bulk sugar
will be carried direct from the Cuban
sugar mills to the great refineries OF
the East, saving more than enough
in the bagging and handling cost to
pay the freight, in bulk.
Later it is proposed TO handle pas
senger cars direct to Cuban points
and then it will be that tourist par
ty taking sleeper in Montreal or
Boston or the Northwest will not be
transferred from his sleeper until he
reaches his destination in the Cuban
isle

Beginning of the New Era

The Henry M. Flagler marks the
ry steam vessels. 1t will be followed
later by a sister ship for the FLORIDA
East Coast railway, the two being
planned to give a double service be-
tween Key West and Havana.
In building the Florida East Coast
railway it was the dream Of Henry
NJ. Flagler to carry his road thru to
Key West and incorporate freight
service direct between the United
States and Cuba. To do this it was
necessary to transfer the loaded. cars
from Key West to Havana. AS there
is a strip of ninety miles of ocean
between the two points, the only pos
sible way is by means of a car ferry
line.
The vessel launched yesterday has
capacity of thirty of the largest
freight cars, loaded, and will make a
trip between Key West and Havana
in eight hours The general dimen-
sions are as follows: Length over
all, $50 feet; length between perpen-
diculars, 335 feet; beam, nodded, 81
feet; depth, % feet; breadth, of
deck, 81 feet; speed, loaded with
1900 tons dead weight, II knots.
The hull is built of steel, conform
ing in ever respect to the rules OF
the bureau meritas for vessel OF
| this special class.

hand, but Barney probably prefers
the lake because the water is soft.
Bets are up among Barney's friends
as to whether he will keep on with
his aquatic trips during the winter
or not, and the Star, having been
called on to hold stakes, became wise
to the story.

In addition 10 the purely CONNER
cial aspect of the vessel, attention
has been paid to the possibility Of
fitting it out as a gunboat and trans
port in case of war, there being
ample arrangements to mount rapid
fire guns of 5-inch caliber and small
er battery as may be required.
Valuable as Transport
AS a transport the boat would be
a most valuable acquisition to the
government, as in an emergency ii
would carry force of $500 to $500
men, a very valuable consideration
in case of war. Originally this vesz
sci was planned to carry thirty-six
loaded cars and when it's capacity
was limited thirty the original speci-
fications as to strength. ETC., were
still carried out, making it exception
al in its class and the most powerful
car ferry boat in the world. It's con-
struction has been watched with the

Four Railroad Tracks

The cars are carried on the main
deck, which is fitted with four rail-
road tracks The stern of the vessel
is of such shape as to fit neatly in
the docks provided at Key West and
Havana, whereby the cars are loaded
onto the vessel at the stern. Every
appliance has been fitted for the Sc
curing of the cars at sea. When the
cars are slowed the weight of the
cars are taken upon jacks fitted to
jack rails, thus relieving the trucks
from the surge and weight due TO
the rolling of the ship in a seaway.
On the shelter deck provision is
made for the quarters of the officers
and crew.
The machinery consists of two
triple expansion reciprocating en-
gines of standard marine design,
having cylinders 20. 321z and "a
inches by SO inch stroke. The en-
gines are to develop 5000 horse
