INSPECTED AND ADMIRED By a Large Number of People, WHERE SHE WAS BUILT, What She Looks Like, AND WHAT SHE COST. THE new winter steamer Stanley, built at Govan, below Glasgow, by the Fairfield Ship Building and Engineering Company, for the Dominion Government, from de- signs furnished by Captain McElhinney, Nautical Adviser to the Dominion Govern- ment—based upon what he could gather from the workings of ice-breaking steamers. in Hamburg and Gottenburg—arrived here from Pictou yesterday afternoon about four o’clock, and is now moored at Peake’s No. 2 wharf. A large number of people were in waiting to receive her, and as soon as she had been nade fast she was subject- ed to a critical examination. All were de- lighted with what they saw, and everything was pronounced pertect. The contract for the construction of the Stanley was concluded about the middle of July last, and she was handed over to Captain McElhinney on the 22nd Novem- ber—about five months after the beginning of the work. On the 29th November she left Glasgow for Pictou direct, and reached her destination in first-class order and condition on Monday last, after a some- what rough passage of eleven days. Her best speed on the run out was thirteen knots. At Pictou her crew, with the ex- ception of the three engineers and the cook and steward, were dis- charged, and she was given in charge of Captain Allan Finlayson, late of the North- ern Light, her future commander, who, with a crew from Charlottetown, brought her tu this port, arriving yesterday after- noon as above stated. Last evening Tut Examiner’s reporter visited the ship and was courteously re- ceived by Captains McElhinney and Fin- ayson. He found that the Stanley was all that had been represented to him by those who had visited her earlier in the day. The Stanley is schooner-rigged, built wholly of steel, and is classed Al at Lloyd's. She is 207 feet in length over all, 32 feet beam, and 17 feet depth of hold. She is 994 tons gross and about 400 tons register. Her cargo capacity is about 500 tons. Her engines are triple-expansion with an indi- cated horse-power of about 1900. The steering gear, which is of the most ap- proved pattern, was furnished by Messrs. Muir & Caldwell, of Glasgow. The steamer is heated throughout by steam, the pipes being of copper. She has accommodation for about 100 passengers, there being sleeping berths for 32 first-class and seating accommoda- tion for 68 second-class passengers. The saloon and other first-class accommo- dation is on deck, forward of amidships. The saloon is large, well lighted and hand- somely furnished—the finishing being in hard pine and black walnut, presenting a beautiful appearance. Along the sides of the saloon are arranged the staterooms for first-class passengers. The upholstery in the saloon and state- rooms is of Utrecht velvet. The cushions in the staterooms are so arranged that they can be converted into berths if required, and the rooms are separated from the saloon by curtains of chenille. The floors of the saloons and staterooms are covered with five-frame Brussels carpet, and the rooms are furnished with all the accommo- dations usually found in first-class steamers. The saloon has seating accommodation at table for twenty-two personte . Leading from the saloon are two large staterooms, one of which has been set apart for ladics. Both are handsomely furnished with every regard for the accommodation of passengers. A neatly-furnished smoking room, fitted up with tables, etc., is also on deck—a luxury which will be duly appreciated by travellers. Between the smoking-room and the saloon are the officers’ quarters, which are also commodious and comfort- able. The accommodation for second-class passengers is between decks aft, and is fitted with seats and dining table, and is well lighted and heated. There are also a bath room and several urinals on deck for the accommodation of first and second-class passengers. The pantry and kitchen are situated on deck, abaft the saloon, and are convenient- ly arranged. In the galley is a condenser capable of making 200 gallons of fresh water in twelve hours. — | ' 2S j N ' i | j ' = Charlottetown, Nov. 30, 1888—eod & wky nov20; The bridge is fitted with one of Chad- burn’s latest improved engine room tele- of the ship was $150,000. Captain Finlayson is well pleased with the Stanley, and feels confident that she will meet the requirements of the service for which she is intended, as well asa steamer can be expected to do. Following are the names of the officers now in charge: Captain— Allan Finlayson. Pilot—Archibald Finlayson. First Officer—Angus Brown. Second Officer—John Smith. Chief Engineer—John McMillan. Second Engineer—John Auld. Third Engineer—William Auld. Purser—D. D. Ryan.* Steward—James Smith. Assistant Stewards—Peter McLellan and John H. Burns. Captain McElhinney will remain on the Stanley until the Northern Light is taken to Pictou, which will probably be early next week. James Allen and William Cunningham, the cook and steward who came out with the ship, will remain on the vessel for a few days until the new staff get inte working order. Mr. Cunningham has had a large experience as chief steward on several of the trans-Atlantic steamers run- ning between New York and Liverpool, and Captain McEihinney speaks very high- ly of his skill and efficiency. The Stanley will not leave port until Monday morning, when she will sail for Pictou, between which port and Charlotte- town she Will run until further notice. While here she will take in ice-boats and other stores. We congratulate Captain McElhinney upon the excellent judgment and taste he has displayed in connection with the Stan- ley, and trust that the steamer and her pains-taking and popular staff of officers may meet with every success during the season. SMELT FisHinc.—An exchange says that fishermen on the north shore of New Bruns- wick make from $50 to $150 a week catching smelts. One man recently made $60 in a day and another $420 in a week. — ~~» KILLED BY THE TRAIN.—An aged spinster named McNamara was struck by the train at a Windsor, N.38., crossing, a few days ago, and was suv badly broken up that she died from her injuries shortly afterwards. ~ Tut Law Inaccesstpte.—The daughter of a Belleville, Ont. clergyman, handsome and well educated, did not care for teaching school, but thought she would like to study law. Her father consented, and straightway she left to consult members of the Bar. She wished to be articled, but lawyers discouraged her, and ifter visiting three or four gentlemen, con- cluded that a *‘ trust had been organized to thwart her ambition. ——_—_@———— Were He Coup Ger Dinner. —Artemus Ward used to say that he was once troveliing in an old Bourbon town out West when he met an Irishman who thus addressed him, ‘Can the likes o’ ye tell me where I can get a good dinner for 25 cents?” ‘Yes,” replied Ward, “ just around the corner there is a nice place.” ‘And will ye aliow me to ask ye one question more?” said Pat, [** Certainly,’ replied the showman. ‘*Well, since ye's been guce enough to show me where I can get the dinner for twenty-five cents, will the likes of ye plase tell me where I can get the twenty tive cents. Apvicz To MorTHers.— Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should always be used when children are cutting teeth. It relieves the little sufferer at once; it produces natural quiet sleep by relieving the child from pain; and the little cherub awakes as “bright as a button.” It is very pleasant w taste. It soothes the child, softens the gums, allays all paia, relieves wind, regulates the bowels, and is the best known remedy for diarrhca, whether arising from teething or other causes. Twenty-five cents a bottle. Be sure and ask for Mrs. Winslow's Soothin Syrup, and take no other kind. [April } ’88, VE Grip.— With the new year Grip enters up- on its thirty-second half-yearly volume, a fact which speaks eloquently for the merits of this unique and favorite Canadian journal. No former ‘attempt in humorous ‘journalism in Canada was ever successful, because in 10 former case was there the happy combination of elements essential to the success of such a venture. In the first place, an uncommon fertility of invention is required to keep a comic paper abreast of the times, and this must be backed up by an artistic ability equal to the task of interpreting the happy thoughts evolved in a popular manner. Secondly, there must be a so!id basis of right principle upon which to build. Truth, honor, fairness and good taste are all essential to the success of a comic journal as ot a magazine of the highest class. All these features have, from the first number, distinguished Grip in a high degree. It stands to-day alongside of the very best productions of its class in the world, and enjoys a fame far beyond the bounds of Canada. To Canadians it ought to be more and more an object of patriotic pride, and certainly but little can be said for the patriot- ism of any Canadian who pretends to culture and can afford the price, whose name is not found upon Grip’s subscription list. The sub- scription price is almost ridiculously low, when the rates of similar (and not equally able) journals elsewhere are considered. It is only two dollars a year, although the paper contains sixteen pages filled with bright o1 iginal humor of pen and pencil, and always gives, without stint, political cartoons on passing events, which for point, power and humor are certe:nly unsurpassed in any humorous paper of the day. For ourselves we can say that Grip is the very first journal graphs—with tell-tale showing the move- ments of the engines. There are also water ballast arrangements for trimmisg the ship when she is working in the ice, a large centrifugal pump being) so placed that the ballast can be shifted from one end of the ship to the other in a very short time. The ship is also provided with a powerful steain capstan and windlass; and is furnish- ed with four spare propellor blades of Forsyth & Miller’s patent annealed metal, which gs considered by many much stronger than cast steel. The ship’s fittings and furnishings are complete throughout, and the workman- we open and enjoy on the arrival of our week- ily exchanges, and we believe the same is true lof nearly every editor in the country.
