 Six weeks from the day the concrete was poured into the forms, the 1900 ton ship, christened Faith" took the water. The huge hull careening sharply as it slid sidewise down a steeply pitched incline, threw up huge wave in the narrow estuary. then righted sharply and rode like a buoy Not a hitch had marred the operation and a large crowd shouted itself hoarse.
 Engineers Are Satisfied
 Engineers declared themselves so satisfied with the launching and the manner in which the vessel responded to her immersion that it would be un- necessary, in their opinion, to give the Faith a trans-P Pacific towing tryout, as intended. There was no question. it was said. that the ship was entirely seaworthy. and it was announced that engines would be installed at once and the Faith put into commission as rap- idly as she could be fitted out.
 Two tugs rapidly took the Faith in tow for an iron works plant nearby.
 Enthusiasm Unbounded
