A SHIP WHICH IS ITS
OWN CARGO Of LUMBER
SOON To Be LAUNCHED

Vancouver Il. c., Aug. 2s,-A ship
that Is It's own cargo. a cargo Of lum'
Der that propels itself-such Is the
nature OF one OF the quesrest craft
ever known to the world which within
few weeks will leave Vancouver
mill on its way 10 England.
This old ship, the dream of John
Arbuthnot, former mayor OF Winni-
peg and now a resident OF Victoria,
Is being translated into fact by the
Furber Lumber Company, backed by
the great Cicker's interests OF England.
The ship-for It will be a ship, though
mill. .built--will contain or be composed
OF 5000 900 feet OF Douglas fir and have
an engine installed capable OF giving
the craft sixknot speed. Two months
after the vessel leaves Its builders
II is expected, II will have been dis
mantled to England, the lumber placed
ON sale or delivered TO buyers, and the
$40 900 worth of machinery, compasses
and other equipment on its way back
to British Columbia to be installed IN
another vessel of the same type.
Each vessel will be $50 feet long, or
90 feet beam. 80 feet deep and Will
draw 81 feet. The vessels may De
constructed by unskilled workers with
the aid of a few shipwrights. Similar
craft for Australia. using sails, are
planned. The vessels. although rough
~ constructed, Will have pointed bows
and will resemble ordinary ships, Regu-
lation quarters are TO be provided.

OF course, Is a new and supposedly
economical method OF transporting

of Lloyd's Insurance Company, issued
