The Maiuaitita was, of course, the center of attraction, being the biggest and handsomest of the quartette. She is a modem and beau tiful vessel of steel, frame, decks and spars, equipped with every new and useful thing that can be incorporated in a strictly up-to-date government craft. Captain Albert Barron brought her out, and she was officered for the voyage by the following staff First Officer, E. W. Bartow; Second Offi cer E. G. Freeman; Chief Engineer V. L. Brown; First Assistant Engi neer Thomas McGrath; and Second Assistant Engineer L- S- Brooks. She carries a crew of sailors and fire men numbering 23 besides these gen (lenient. The Maruanita is elegantly and comfortably quartered throughout, with every possible convenience, being principally done in mahogany, maple, brass and plate-glass; she has patent baths and toilets; steam heat ing raditors; electric lights and fans in all quarters; powerful patent winches, sounding machines, and cranes for handling all the utilities of the service and the finest of launches and boats; her life launch being a 35 horse power automobile which eas ily makes 12 knots an hour in any kind of a sea a boat my venture in. She has steam steering gear, with telegraph engine indicators, Hyde windlasses, and all modern appliances j for systcmizing and simplifying her work in all directions. Her engines are of the latest pat tern; being triple twin-screw type, with piston valves employed through out; one condenser for both en gines; duplicate feed pumps, one cir culator and one air pump; fresh and salt water sanitary pumps, separate: and an fire and general utility pumps. along with steering engines. She has two turbine driven dynamo, one of 10 horsepower and the other of 120 horse-power, for lighting the ship; and an evaporating and distilling plant that produces 2000 gallons of imon-?pure drinking water every' 24 hours. She has a one-pipe heating systes with radiators all over the vessel, the first of its kind to be installed on these vessels, and fine bank of Scotch boilers; and her proud chief reports that every detail of her mechanism worked like charm for every mile of her vast journey around the "Horn." She is a "pippin", and will be an ornament, as well as a splendid utility, on this big station. On the way out she demonstrated her caps city for towing by hauling the No- 88 for a distance of 1475 miles at single stretch, to save the fuel of th plucky little snip she was convoying. The bunker capacity of the Manza nita is 125 tons for a 12-day run. In describing one of the other three, the fleet of lightships are practically covered. They are "all of a piece," class, build and equip ment; stout and sturdy and sea worthy to the last degree; clean and irderly and possessing every device They do n6t differ radically from the hips now in service here, save in such later utilities s have been de vised and applied in the course of their newer construction. They are officered as follows: No. 88 Captain, S. M. Tonning hrst officer, Charles Ward; second officer, Charles A. Modaar; chief en gineer, Walter Cassell; first assistant engineer, ueorge tsnnn; second as sistant engineer, Ernest Lof. Her crew numbers 11 besides these off) cers. She makes eight knots an hour at sea, and carries 100 tons of coal. No. 92 Captain, George H. Toon; first officer, Fred R. Bergman; sec ond officer, Jacob Nelson; chief engl neer, Charles Harrison; first assist. ant, Fred Valden; second assistant, George Frey; crew, coal tonnage, and speed the same as the other lightship. No. 93-Captain, W. H. Phillips; first officer, Eric Nelson; second offi cer, Charles kludge; chief engineer, Charles Steele; first assistant, W. C Farnham; and second, assistant, Ed' ward Meyers. In all respects she is the mate of her sisters, differing from mem only in oeing painted a warm buff instead of a flaming red. These gentlemen are all looking for an early departure for the East, all of them being men of families, and thouRh they each and all have the kindliest word possible for the Pa cific, San Francisco, and Astoria, they ire a unit in their desire to get back home. They are, in the main, all young men well trained to their posts 'and competent in the last degree, as their success in bringing this frail fleet over the vast course they did, without loss of maty bolt or spar. The Morning Astorian wishes them luck and safety on the return journey.
