THE ‘ ERMACK'

morning on a visit to Moncton.

~ nr

is Q-zoo tons. she is tinted up sinh suite- raoms, saloon, etc., for accommodation oi i passengers.

The Odessa,a small ice breaker,was con-

structed to work in the port of Odessa, in Southern Russia. Her dimensions are: Length, 155 feet; breath, 42 feet; depth, 25 feet. She has triple expansion screw engines and can cut through ice of about 2 feet thick.

CANADA SHOULD ACT. ,

It must be admitted that the time has

come for the Government. of Canada to take prompt action in providing an ice- breaker for the St.Lawrence. I would sug- gest the Gmstruction immediately ofaves- sei, not quite as large as the Ermack, but o_@bout the following dimensions:

Length . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ......_.250feet Breadth . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . _ . . .._ 50 feet Draught of water . . . . . . . . . .. .18 to 20 ft Fitted with three sets of triple expansion engines;-twin screws astern, and one

_screw forward.

Her duty would be to remain at Quebec

during the winter, and prevent the “key” being formed at Cape Rouge. Every time the ice-bridge formed there she should-cut itoutjand thus prevent' the formation of a. mass of ice, which has already caused serious delay in the navigation of the St. Lawrence to Montreal.

About the first of April every spring she

should commence her annual cutting out

:be relief of any stranded vessel in the

Y Straits of Belle Isle. on the coast of Anti-

"_ costi, or elsewhere.

I need not allude to the wreck of that

line steamer the Scotsman last season, to A prove the advantage of having our Jacques Cartier always on hand in case of emer- ,gency. Q

How useful she would also be in assist-

ing vessels late in the autumn, when ara- R ther too early formation of ice on the St. Laurance threatens to lock.up somlsqyes- sels all winter.

On one occasion the Ermack rescued nine ice'-bound steamers outside the port of Reval-a1_\d.&he has conveyed safely about ‘i one hundred Steamers into ice-bound ports

Our_Jacques Cartier would seldom have

to cut through the ice more than 24inches thick on the St. Lawrence.

I hope this important matter will be ta.- ken up seriously by the shipping and in- surance interests, and especially by our re- presentatives in Parliament and the Gov-

We cannot hope for uninterrupted win-

‘ ter navigation of the St. Lawrance, but we can save at least a month by having our Jacques Cartier built and at work as soon as possible.

The result attained by the ice steamers

oil' P. E. Island is a guarantee that power- ful crushers are adapted to Canadian waters.
