McCormlck Co. interests of San Francisco, have under construction at their shipyard two five-masted auxiliary power schooners, designed for the lumber trade of the Pacific Coast. One of theso schooners now more than 70 per cent complete, is to be called the City of Portland. She will The cargo will be handled with four regulation steam winches with 130 pound marine boilers. The auxiliary power plant of these vessels will consist of two 4-cylln-der Uolinder engines of the seml Piesol type, each unit being 320 H. P. and 225 K. P. M., swinging a 4 foot blade 6x8 propeller. The speed by motor propulsion alone will be about S knots. sorbed at either foreign or domestic ports; that the loss of a Bhip of this sizo and capacity would not neces sarily cripple a firm's trade and lln nliy that the auxiliary power feature presents marked economies In operat ing costs over either a steam or sail ing schooner.

The other, about five per cent complete, has the ways already built. The vessels are dupli cates. The City of Portland is one of the largest wooden vessels ever built and is tho largest wooden, motor-driven boat in the world. This ship is 290 feet over all, 44-foot beam, and 22 feet moulded depth. Two million feet of lumber will be used In the construction of each vessel. The advantage of auxiliary power iu a lumber schooner are niuny and well justify the oust of engine instal lation. The saving in towage and the tima saving in the calm belts, and the greater speed at which the vessel travels are all dominant fact ors in Increasing the ship's earnings and utility. The saving in crew costs can be seen when only throe men are required in the engine room. limited.
