QUEEN OF THE SOUND
Steamer Puritan Hse Outlived Her
 Days of Usefulness.
TO JUNK HEAP

Another Of the once famous Sound steamers has been started on the way to the scrap heap. This time it is the Puritan, once considered the Queen of: the Sound,'' for she was in her time one of the fastest and most lux urious boats plying in the passenger service on Long Island sound. The
 Puritan has been laid up at Stoning- ton for several months. She has been ordered disrnantled by the Nav
 igation company officials and will make no more trips between New York and Fall River or any other port. She may be sold to be cut down to q coal barge or burned to get out the metal in the boat.
 The Puritan for many years ran be- tween New York and Fall River and in her day she carried thousands of wealthy New Workers for passengers between New York and their summer homes at Newport. Newer and faster boats that have been put on the sound lines since the palnny days of the Pur- itan have re1egated the Puritan to the rear as 7 first class passenger steam CT.
 The Puritan was built at Chester, Pa, in 1889, and was a boat of 4,593 gross tons. She is 4O3 feet long and her engines were or 7,500 indicated horsepower. She was a side wheeler, and for Q. boat of that class was in her day considered to be very fast.
 When the steamer Richard Peck came out in 1892 the New Haven boat and the Puritan had several tests for speed down the sound The Peck was one of the first of the twin screw boats to come into the sound passenger ser vice, and although the Peck won one or two races, it has always been said that the Puritan in subsequent races beat out the Peck and recovered the distinction of being the fastest boat on the sound and also the title of Queen of the Sound
