" THE DAILY COOS BAY TIMES, MARSHF1ELD, OREGON, THURSDAY, JULY 11, 1907. -71JUHS 'A u ir l! BREAKWATER HAS RECORD Crew Substantiate Story of Fast Trip Between Port land and Coos Bay. FLAT TIME IS 22 HOURS Captain Mncgcnn Says Run From Columbia Uur Consumed Four teen Hours. There is an air of elation among tho crew of the steamer Breakwater which mado such e. sensational run from Portland to Coos Bay, and set a record for the run of 24 hours be tween the two places. The actual time, allowing for delays, was 22 hours. However, the record of 24 hours is sufficient reason for con gratulation, and the crew, from Captain to stoker, are all in hearty accord with the spirit which prompts the members to do their best in keeping up tho reputation established on this, the first run from Portland to this port. Captain Macgenn -was seen In the forward cabin, ana his grin told the story In detail. To bo certain there was no mistake, lie was asked if tho story was true. "Sure," said he, "we came from tho Columbia bar to tho Coos Bay bar, a distance of 174 miles, in 14 hours; that's going some. Quess I'll go out and see what my friends think about it." Chief Engineer Henry Young was seen in tho pit, whore he was busy looking over tho machinery and over seolng the clean-up. He also had tho Inseparable smile. Mr. Young was quizzed for a time, and despite tho epidemic of pleasure, was able to give coherent answers. Mr. Young informed tho scribe that the ma chinery stood the run without an ac cident, and that every bolt and screw was In its accustomed position. Mr. Young was asked regarding tho con sumption of coal during a record run, and said it required approximately a much larger quantity than under nat ural conditions and draft. Ho takes great pride in having his engine room present the neatest appearance pos sible and had tho assistants busy wiping and cleaning tho machinery and fixtures. Bort McCulIom, tho popular and obliging purser, was next scon, and his story was substantially tho same as already related. But thoro was moro to tell respecting tho repairs to tho ship, and it was readily an swered. Theso repairs had just been completed when tho ship mado hor way from San Francisco north ward last week. Thoro havo been eight berths added forward for a to tal of 92 passengers. Tho boat pre sents a spick and span appearanco, being nowly painted throughout, and tho brass work and othor fixtures aro kept In tho best possible condition. Tho bridal chambers forward were mado over into four rooms, where before thero wero but two. Tho en amel work in the forward staterooms Is green, and that in the rooms amld shlp, white, tho work being of ex cellent artistic effect. The Breakwater has always borne a reputation for excellent service In her cuisine, and passengers who came on this trip say It is being sustained. Tho run and the boat are certain to prove a popular means of traveling between Portland and Coos Bay, for 24 hours is rather faster than peo ple have traveled between theso ports. However, not detracting any thing from the performance of the Breakwater, it is doubtful If such running can bo maintained. The In tention Is nevertheless to hold to It If possible, and beyond doubt there will bo another record established beforo tho summer Is over. The Breakwater will leave for Portland this morning at 11:30. She brought over two hundred tons of freight on her initial trip. PERSONAL NOTES X Stutlt of rwtott n Capital utorh fully paliup sa.nnn.
