70 Make Her First Dip From Wolf
& Zwickard'a lard.
Lightship No. 70 waa successfully
launched from the ways at Wolff &
Zwickard'a yard, at 11:30 yesterday
morning, and ia now moored at the
contractor's wharf to receive her boiler,
masts and spars. Three thousand peo
ple, standing on the East Water-street
elevated roadway, the roofa of surround
ing buildings and the Madison and M or
ison Btreet bridges, saw her enter the
water. Not an accident nor a hitch
marred the event.
An bour before the time ' Bet for the
launching the drenching rain which bad
been pouring all the morning ceased, as
it for the occasion, and . the eun came
forth and shown warmly down till noon.
.This started crowds of people, across the
bridges, and soon every available space
Ion the platform about the ship was
rtaken, and the spectators overflowed on
the river banka and into the torpedo-
boat sheds, every crossbeam of which on
the Bide toward the ship was swarmed
with men and boya. ;
Shortly after 11 o'clock, Miss Dorcas
Merrell, who bad been requested by the
contractors to christen the vessel,
mounted the platform at the bow, ac
companied by her mother ; ani father,
Commander John P. Merrell, inspector
of the 13th lighthouse distiict. F. Wolff,
president of the Wolff & Zwicker iron
works, and a number of invited guests
were also on the platform. Taking the
champagne bottle, which was suspended
by a red, white and blue cord from the
J starboard bow, in her band, she made
ready for the moment when the ship
should Btart.
"Meanwhile, both ax and lever had
manfully been plied," and in a few mo
menta those on board felt the vessel
shiver a little and then by watching
stationary objects, saw that Bhe had
started. When she was a yard out of
port on her first voyage, ; Miss Merrell
held it high above her head and cast it
energetically at the retreating ship. It
waa shattered into a thousand piecea and
the lightahip was "numbered."
A brief summary of her dimensions
and equipment follows;
. Length over all 125 feet ; beam 23 feet
6 inches; depth, 13 feet 6 inches; dis
placement, 589 tons. : The vessel will be
