Iff TIT 13 STJXDAY OTJFGOXIAX, PORTLAND, JULY 17, 1921 WEST LEWARK HERE . I m maiden VOYAGE Jhree-Deck Cargo Carrier Is First of Kind. five Are to be built Steamers tor Shipping Board "Will ; Be Only Vessels of. Typo In "World. 5 i The steamer "West Lewark, which arrived here yesteraay on her maiden voyage, Is a new entity in the marine vforld. She is the first of five 11.500 ton three-deck cargo steamers to be oompleted for the shipping board by tl.e L.os Anseles Shipbuilding & Dry tnck company at San Pedro, and these five steamers will be the only such Yt KSPls in the world. I The West JUewark Is here in the service of the European-Pacific line, rjianappd by Williams, Dimond & Co. of San Francisco and represented here bv the Columbia-Pacific Shipping cjmpany. The West Lewark and hyer four sis ter ships are built along the same general lines as the uo-ton steel earners, built in preat numbers at tfiis and other ports of this coast, with the exception that the new vessels are 3n feet 3 inches longer in the mid ship body, making the length between perpendiculars 430 feet 4 inches in stead of 410 feet 1 inches. Another Difference Xoted. Another Important difference be tween the two types of steamers is that in the three-deckers the fore castle, bridge and poop decks are continuous over the entire length, rnakinpr a flush deck vessel, of which the upper deck is the strength deck. "in the new steamers about 600 tons more steel is used than in an 8800 onner, with a resultant increase of about 2700 tons in carrying: capacity. The five cargo holds of the West Jewark are particularly spacious and free from obstructions. This effect nn been secured by locating: the wide-spaced hold pillars at the hatch corners only and making them of the built-up cylindrical type. Pillars of the 'tween-dock spaces are of steel tubing. Each of the five holds has one large hatch, except the forehold "which is equipped with two large hatches. Carjro Gear Dlatlnetlve. ; The cargo-handling gear of the West Lewark is one of the most dis tinctive features of her construction. She is equipped with 14 derrick posts, located between and outboard of each hatch, each derrick post serving two hatches except the two at the after end of No. 6 hatch. Five-ton booms, ranging in length from 37 to 44 feet, and in addition there is one 30-ton steel boom serving hatch No. 2. This boom can he stepped at either port or starboard derrick post. The foremost And aftermost " pairs of derrick posts re connectedat tho top by a lattice bridge and on these bridges topmasts have been stepped to carry the wire lees antennae and halyards. , Typical of the living quarters aboard the West I-ewark is the disposition of the crew in separate state rooms, two men to a room, instead of in the usual forecastle. All mess rooms and the officers' saloons are- located adjacent to the galley and separate dining sa loons are provided for deck officers and engineers. Officers" living quar ters are in a double-deck bridge amid ships. The West Lewark docked on her ar rival at municipal terminal No. 1 to tart loading miscellaneous rrelght for tho usual European ports of Lon don. Liverpool, Havre, Antwerp and Hamburg. MARINE BANGERS REMOVED Ocean Graveyards Robbed of Ter i rors by Radio Compass Stations. JUNEAU, Alaska, July 16. Many tmirtne dangers hidden in ocean fKravtiyarUs" alons Alaska's , coasts are to be removed by eipht naval j radio compass stations which will be 1'Uilt Aurinff the next four years. From i he stations ships at sea canfgret their I bearings and In tog and storms can proceed safely along- the coasts, i t)ne station, belns built this sum mer. Is at Soapstone point. Yakobl island, where ships from southwestern Alaska enter the Inside passage south bound to Seattle. In thepast ships ihave lost many days waiting for thick weather to clear so they could get ast Soapstone point and into Cross found. When the st:ulion is in opera tion, they will be able to pick up the entrance to Cross sound by wireless.! C Another ' station now under con struction is at Cape Hinchinbrook, at the entrance to I'rince William sound, on which Valdez and other southwest ern Alaska points are located. - According to present plans the Soapstone station will he opened next Vctober, after a crew of trained men is assembled and tests are made with hips at sea. The Cape Hinchinbrook station will be completed later. Care is being taken in construction of living quarters for the men at the Stations, for the points are isolated hnti the government is trying to off sot some of the disadvantages by at tractive housing. There will be a dormitory, baths, electric lights and other facilities. Both stations are located in parts of Alaska noted for hunting and fishing. Two stations are to be built each year until the eight are completed. 7 Steamship Force Expands. Expansion of the local force of the Williams Steamship company was an nounced yesterday by A. C. Callan, general agent at Portland for the Jine. W'illiam O. Roberts will be as t:tant general agent, J. S. Sammons soliciting freight agent, J. M. Van J Hiter manager of operations r.nd J. C. Nordin auditor. V . Marine Xotes. The itamr Clemence C.

Promises Made by General Mana ger for Company Appear Xot to He Idle Encouragement 0 That A. M. Kashiwa, general mana ger in the United States for Suzuki & Co., was not speaking idle encour agement a few days ago when he promised that 30 or 40 steamers of his company would call here this sea son began to be apparent yesterday when it became known that the Japa nese steamer Seine Maru, due here July 20 from San FrJncisco, will load for the account of her owners, Suzuki & Co. The innovation in this case is the purchase by this big Japanese com mercial house of a full cargo of wheat f. o. b. Portland for European con sumption, and it is expected that a considerable portion of the new crop will be handled in this way. This manner of doing business is expected to prove attractive to the local grain companies in that they can take their profit out of a sale with immediate return instead of having to await credits of 60 to 90 days, and also are Faved all the worry of chartering in the face of fluctuating freight rates and taking a chance on the exchange rates of foreign currency. The cargo of the Seine Maru will be supplied by one of the Portland firms, but will be exported by Suzuki & Co. Grain has been exported from Portland in the past to the orient in this manner, but hot to Europe. Though Japanese steamers have been employed extensively of late in carry ing wheat from Portland to Europe, they have gone in the past only under charter to local firms, not with car goes for the account of their owners.

' i Zj & : x -4 z.z ,; ,1 S I BDQO-TON WORSHIP IS DUE HERETODAY Kennecott Beats Norwegian Craft in San Francisco Run. BIG CARGO TO BE TAKEN Srstem of Preheating Fuel Oil by - Means of Steam Coils Is Among Unique Features. The 6000-ton American motorshlp Kennecott. operating- at v present in the intefcoastal service of Ihe "Will iams Steamship company, left San Francisco for Portland at 6:15 P. M. Friday, and if fine maintains the speed she- has shown on the rest of the round voyage to tho Atlantio coast and back she will reach the mouth of the--Columbia river at about 9 o'clock tonight and dock at Port land early Monday morning. She will be handled here by A. U Callan, gen eral agent for the- Williams Steam ship company. According to advices received by Mr. Callan, the Kenne cott beat the big Norwegian motor ship George "Washington by several hours on the run from San Pedro to San Francisco. Probably the largest shipment ever assembled here for Seattle will be placed aboard the Kennecott at mu nicipal termirral No. 1. The shipment consists principally of canned goods. Vessels of the Williams line recently inaugurated the practice of picking up local freight here for Seattle on their way to the Atlantic coast via Puget sound. Motorshlp 11 nil t at Tacoma The Kennecott was built by the Todd Drydock & Construction cor poration of Tacoma and is owned by the Alaska Steamship company. . As the first large ail-American Diesel-driven - motorship to- be built on the Pacific coast, she has probably attracted more widespread Interest among marine men than any other vessel that has plied the Pacific in recent years. And with the eyes of the shipping world upon her she has performed in a manner of which her builders and owners are proud. In design, construction and com pleteness of equipment, the Kenne cott is one of the finest motorehps so far built in any part of the world. She is of the usual well-deck or "three-Island' type of steel freighter. She has an allowed draft of 22 feet 1 V inches to the summer freeboard mark, with a resultant deadweight capacity of 6010 tons at that draft. Preheatina; System Unique. The machinery of the vessel con sists of two Mcintosh & Seymour-four-cycle Diesel engines of 1200 in dicated horsepower, and auxiliaries, all of which are electrical. The for ward and after peak tanks are fitted for carrying water ballast. The total fuel capacity is 1075 tons, giving the vessel a cruising radius of 22,000 miles. The tanks were purposely made large so that oil could be car ried as part cargo. One of the unique features of the ; Kennecott la a system of preheating j of the fuel oil which enables her to , run successfully on uelof 16.7 de grees Baume, the same oil that is j burned under the boilers of steam- j ships. This preheating is accom- ; pushed by means of steam coils in- j stalled In the silencers. The motors exhaust through the stack, and in this stack is a bead tank filled with water which circulates down through these coils in the silencers, and after ; being heated passes on through the Inside of the dally service tanks, where the il for the engines is pre heated to a temperature of 130 de grees. The pipes then pass on down through the inner bottoms and heat the oil there. Continued operation of the Kenne cott in her present intercoastal serv ice for at least one more round voy age is assured. She will be followed here by the Williams line steamers Willhllo July 30. Willsolo August 10 and Willfaro August 25. Abercos Off for Orient. The steamer Abercos. of the trans Pacific, service of the Pacific Steam-, ship company, departed from munici pal terminal No. 4 at 3:15 o'clock yesterday afternoon with a full cargo of lumber and general merchandise for the orient. Captain K. P. T. Wood, who has been her master for several trans-Pacific, voyages, re mains in command. Steamer Works Quickly. The steamer Robin Goodfellow, of the Isthmian line, made good yester day on the quick turn-around prom ised by C. r. Kennedy, her agent here. The steamer docked at municipal ter minal No. 1 at 5 P. M. and a pilot had been ordered to take her down the river again at midnight. Pacific Coast Shipping Xotes. VANCOUVBR, B. C, July 16. The Canadian Pacific steamer Princess Alice left, for Hkasjway with 200 pasuensers and a full load of. freight. There are 130 "round trippers to Ska r way and the re miander are for Dawson, Atlln and other points along" the Yukon, -four tourist par ties are included.

The big Blue Funnel liner Talthybius Hs completing her cargo for the far east at the government dock during the week end. It is expected that she will shift to Union bay on Monday morning for bunkers on her way to sea. . The local office of the Canadian-Australasian line haa been advitted that the freighter Waikawa passed Panning island on July 15 en route from Australia to this port. She will be due here about July 27. R J. Hickey, formerly first officer on the liner Empress of -Japan, has been ap pointed first officer on the Km press of Russia. R. O. Groundwater, formerly first officer of the big ship, has accepted a position at Hongkong. Captain W. Dixon Hopcraf t will command the Russia when he sails. Nine men of the crew of the steamer Canadian Rover, Captain Forsen, walked off the ship when she finished loading at Ocean Falls today and refused to pro ceed to aea. The ship haa a cargo of paper for San Francisco. Ail the men were signed up on the 12-months articles which have been In. force on all the government steamers which have come to this coast from the Atlantic. The men who walked off claimed the wages they were receiving were too low for the Pacific coast. In all probability they will come to Vancouver for trial. The Rover will not be delayed many hoars, it Is felt, as it t understood that men have been sent up from Van couver to take the place of the disaffected and they will arrive on the steamer Prince George. The Canadian Observer, Captain Cooper, was expected to proceed to sea tonight for San Pedro. ASTORIA. Or.. July 16. (Special.) A squadron of six American destroyers, uq der command of Lieutenant-Commander Philip Seymour, arrived at 5:50 this morn ing from Bremerton and will remain untU Monday evening or Tuesday morning. The vessels are tne Paui Hamilton. Stoddart. Reno, Parquhar, Thompson and Kennedy. The Dutch steamer Gorontalo, with cargo from San Francisco. Portland and Astoria, sailed at S o'clock this morning for Jap anese and Javanese ports via Puget sound and British Columbia. The tank steamer Kl Segundo. arrived at 6 o'clock last evening from California and after discharging 14.452 barrels of oil here, goes to Portland, where she will dis charge 13.994 barrels. , The steamer West Lewark arrived at 3 , o'clock this morning from San Pedro.

The British steamer Canadian Exporter will be due Monday from San Pedro. She Is to load lumber at Portland for Aus tralia. TACOMA. Wash., July 16. (Special.) It was expected that the motorship Boo byallo, which haa been in port for several days, would shift down sound tonight or tomorrow. Since docking here the Boo byallo has been under- a libel placed on board by a Seattle machine firm, but tt is understood that a bond haa been pro vided and the vessel Is clear of that In cumbrance. The craft la expected to load lumber here or'downsound for the south. The Boobyallo was being fumigated this afternoon. No word haa yet been received at Ta coma regarding the future movements of the motorship Bacol now in port. It was thought when the vessel arrived here from Shanghai she would turn about and go for another wood oil cargo. On account of the low freight rates quoted by other lines, it la said the Bacot owners find it cheaper to have their cargoes handled by the reg ular liners and keep their own boat moored here. The Bacoi is commanded by Charles Polndexter, captain, one of the old-time coast mariners who brought the vessel around from New York. After discharging California freight consigned, to Tacoma and southwest Wash ington firms, the President sailed this morning for San Francisco.
