South Norwelk,‘ Where Power
Wes First Applied to Oyster
Vessels, Now Has the Larg-
est Steamer Ever Buillior
the Business, Equipped
Throughout With the Most
Modern; Conveniences and,
Appliances
South Norwalk has the honor _ ,of
first applying power to the oyster
industry, and of now being the home or
the largest vessel ever built for the
oyster business.
Captain Peter Decker, in the Early
Bird, in 1872, hauled the first oyster
dredge by steam. Since then the oyster
fleet has grown to gigantic proportions
.'Vessels have been increased ,In site
and equipment. large passenger steam-
ers have been converted into oyster
boats. until the fleet is very numerous
and of great capacity, developing an
industry of much magnitude. it is not
many years, since it was thought quite
visionary to predict that the time
would eventually come when oyster
boats would be built large enough to
carry a th0usand bushels of oysters.
and with appliances that would load
them In a day. That time was reach-
ed long ago. and larger vessels have
followed in rapid succession, until one
has been built, the Standard. which
hails from this «port, capable of carry-
‘ln six thousand bushels of oysters,
and the largest ever built for the pup
pose of catching and carying oysters.
rI‘hls vessel is the property of The
Standard Oyster Company, and was
built during the past year at the yards
of A. C, Brown & Son, Tottenvllle, and
came into this port yesterday after-
noon. The Standard is 114 feet long
and thirty feet wide. Her construction
is of the most substantial and thorough
character, the model being specially
designed for se‘aworthiness and ample
accommodations. for cargo and con.
veniencesnd contort of crew. while
her lines: and adheral‘conformution Is
of the most boatlike character.
Beginning below decks, first comes

tilated Wild“ , wt, me ya com-

lowar tier of which are mi. ,0 to fold
over, providing ample clothing lockers
for the occupants. in addition to this
there Is another row of smaller lock-
ers across the bulkhead. This depart-
ment is steam heated and supplied
with hot and cold water.
The boiler room comes next. in this
there is a three hundred horse power
boiler with double furnaces. This is
lighted and ventilated by a large sky
light, and affords plenty of room for
stokers, and bunkers for thirty tons of
coal.
The remainder of the lower section
of the vessel is used for water tanks
and such storage purposes as are
necessary. -The tanks are placed in
the bow and stern of the boat and are
connected by pipes operated by a
steam pump. and are thus placed to
be used when necessary to keep the
host properly trimmed, tho water be-
ing changed from one end to the other
when required. The forward tank has
a capacity of 7.000 gallons and the two
after tanks 2.850 gallons each.
The main deck ls covered the whole
length. The forward section In for

On cncii side is the hoisting apparatus
for two drcdges. which are bundled
from this dock. Everything connected
with this apparatus In of the most mod-
ern kind.
Noxt comes the engine room, in
which is installed a tin-cc hundred
horse powor engine. built by Miller
Brothers, of Jersey City. as won the
boiler. Everything connected with
this department. is fully unto-date.
This is the eighth oyster boat engine
and the one hundred and sixty-first
marine engine built by this successful
firm, which has just signed a contract
for two iron-hullsd fire boats for New
York City. with centrifugal pumps
driven by turbine engines. capable of
discharging fifty ions of water one
hundred feet high per minute. On
this, the trial trip of the Standard.
her power department worked with oil
the efficiency and smoothness that
could possibly be expected or tiesired,
‘ making the first run niniost without a
hitch or for. and securing the highest
praise fromboih engineers and tire-
men. n
, Aft of the engine room are the hitch
on and appointments and the cabin.
The kitchen would delight the most
exacting cook and housekeeper. it
is 12 it. by a it, with range, sink, etc.

- The cabin is twenty-three feet long
(and twelve feei'wide, and has eight
, may berths. and a large dining table.
Over this there is a large skylight.
Notwithstanding the large dimensions
“at this apartment, there is threefoot
neuter deck on both sides of it.
;On the upper deck are the pilot

open, it being designed to cover the af.
ter part of it with on awning in the|
summer. which will make It very
pleasant.
To sum it all up, neither pains nor;
expense have been spared to make
the standard a model oyster boat. and '
special consideration has been givenI
to the comfort of all who may be ein-F
played on board of her.

Upon her arrival at the dock of The

Matthew Corbett Requests Transporta-

Norwnlk Club from Vlce~President Cor-
bett, of the Club Company. A very
pleasant. female voice inquired of the
secretary: ‘
“Mr. Corbett wants to know If the
club is going to provide conveyance
for the hospital invallds to attend the
smoker tomorrow night?"
Secretary Fitch, in his softest. voice:
“Well, the club would be delighted to
accommodate the invnllds. but don't
know just how it. can be done."
The pleasant voice: "Mr. Corbett
suggests that. Captain Fogg Smith
bring the Addie V up by the way of
Gosling Brook."
Mr. Fitch: “A most admirable sug-
gestion, and one that would be ac-
cepted but for luck of faith in the
ability of Captain Smith to pilot the
Addie through the tortuous channel
without the Clarence as a tender. Un-
fortunately the Clarence is chartered.
We'll try, however, during tomorrow
to get Mr. McMullen ti lay a pipe line
to the hospital and give the lnvullds a
shoot the shoots through it."
And then the receiver at the hospi~
inl returned a merry laugh, and it Is
surmised Messrs. Corbett and Havi»
