cause Mr.. Proctor worked with Ericsson
at the Delamater plant when the Swed-
ish inventor was building the Monitors
engines. The craft itself was built at
Hoboken but DeLamater's turned out
her engines. The factory was at the
foet of 18th street and Mr.. Proctor was
employed there several years be1o. \
coming to Norwich In 1860.
Ericsson was also engaged in The ef-
fort to perfect an air engine. to utilize
| air for power instead of steam, as Is
now being done by a western inventor.
Mr.. Proctor worked with him on the air
! engine also. There was no talk then
| of an eight-hour day-Mr. Proctor re-
| calls that a days work then meant 10
hours, with s1.T5 pay; once when he
was offered IS to go south TO work It
was considered a princely sum.
Mr.. Proctor, who is 80. was born in
1 Dundee, Scotland. Sept. 2s. 1929, com
ing to America In May. 1850. In 1883
he married in New York Elizabeth Fra

SCHOONER BURNED AT SEA


Schooner Grace Clinton. owned by
George O'NeiI of Provincetown. Mass,
was burned at sea off Block Island early
Saturday morning and the members of
the crew, who were compelled to aban-
don the vessel, were rescued by subma-
rine S-19 and brought to the submarine
base at the navy yard. Edmund For
tin, engineer of the schooner, is a pa
tient at the sick bay at the base, suffer-
ing from severe but not fatal, burns
about the head, face and hands. An
other member of the crew was less Sc
vereiy burned and did not require hos
pitaI treatment.
The vessel caught fire about o'clock
Saturday morning about ten miles
north of Block Island, but the origin of
the fire is unknown. The fire was first
discovered in the bikge of the vessel and
inasmuch as the craft was equipped
with a gasoline engine, it is supposed
that in some manner, gasoline became
ignited.
Engineer Forth, upon discovering the
fire, made frantic efforts to extinguish
it and was burned about the exposed
parts of the body. The fire gained
headway with such rapidity that the
combined efforts of the crew were use
less and they were compelled to put off
in a small boat.
After being buffeted about on a ra-
Their rough sea for some time, the small
boat with the crew of the Clinton, was
| discovered and picked up by the SID
which CHANGED to be in that vicinity.
| The Clinton has a gross tonnage OF
! 80 tons and net tonnage o.
| Is; her length was 54.5 feet; breadth
/ Il feet and depth seven feet She was
| a gasoline schooner and her indicated
| horsepower was 80. She was built a.
Gloucester in 1915 and her home port
