BERWINDLEA "

SOME MODERN FEATURES

Speaking after the launch of the pulverised fuel steamer "Barwindlea," Mr. Hugh M. MacMillan, chairman of the builders, the Blythswood Ship- building Co.. Ltd.

Scotstoun, Glasgow, referred to the high hopes, which everyone concerned entertained as to the ship's future. Much has already

been written about the enterprise of her owners in designing her from the start as a powdered fuel burner, but in addition she represents the best and latest practice in the design and con- struction of ships intended to carry coa! cargoes. As Mr. MacMillan pointed out, she is fitted with wing ballast tanks all fore and aft under the deck, with patent steal hatches, and is as nearly ideal, he said, as la practicable for quick and automatic loading, stowing and despatch of cargo, as well as for good behaviour at sea. If this method of steam rais- ing proves as satisfactory as is anti- cipated, it will contribute greatly to the invigoration of the British coal- felds. Messrs. Eaplen and Sons, Ltd., owners' consult. Liverpool, are the

ants.

It then remained for the case to be brought before the Navigating Officers Pand of the National Maritime Board, in accordance with the rules laid down. Unavoidable delay has occurred in dealing with it owing to other press ing matters, which have been before the Board of late, but the case came up for discussion at a recent meeting when, after due consideration, it was Anally agreed that it was one which fell within the correct interpretation of the terms of the Annual Leave Clause, and that the officer's claimi should be met in full.

This was accomplished in creditably fast time and then hoses were brought to play on the fire with such effect that soon the "clear" signal was given. As much of the cargo as possible was re- moved before the hoses were brought into play, but quite a lot was necessari- ly damaged by water. These were also discharged later, and the work can- tinned until late in the evening. emall proportion of the cargo. was ac- tually destroyed by fire.

The First Discovery

A

It was learned on board the "Ganges Maru" that the fire was first discovered jet 11 p.ra., on Wednesday whilst the vessel was at sea. Smoke issued con- tinuously from the hold throughout Thursday and yesterday morning, but no flames could be acen.

The ship was bound from Bomby to Kobe, via Singapore and in the ordinary course would not have called at Hong Kong. However, fearing that the fames might fare up at any time, the Captain decided to change course and. make for Hong Kong.

WATER BOAT SINKS

Yesterday while water boat No. 1678 V was being loaded with water, she capsized and sank. In a report to the police the master states that the vessel was being loaded at Ting Kau near Capsiman Pass, One hundred and twenty tons of water had been placed In the tanks when the beat suddenly capsized. A strong wind was blow- ing at the time and this may have been the cause of the mishap Salvage opera- tiens on the sunken boat are proceed- ing
