A fisherman came back from the salmon banks with $1,800 for his season’s catch—wanted to go east, and to sell-his trolling boat. Mrs. Lewis wanted $1,800 or something like it, and was willing to take a chance. She bought the boat, induced her husband to quit, and they went to Alaska fishing. They Knew nothing of salmon taking, however, and returned near- ly broke. A corporation wanted a tow of jogs from upriver—and the regular service could not deliver on time— all boats busy. The man and his wife towed in the logs with their fishboat—and received $100. That was the start. The woman converted the fishboat into a tug and went into busin She lived on board. She regained health, strength and weight. Recently she and her husband put in commission a large tugboat costing a bit more than $20,000— the fourth vessel in their towing fleet, all the others being small craft. They have contracts to keep them busy and to insure return of Principle and interest on their in- vestment, plus a comfortable return for their work and a sinking fund. Their latest craft was designed by Mrs. Lewis. The “Goldabell” {s 53 feet long ty 16 feet beam, propelled by a 100-horsepower Deisel fuel oil engine. U, 8, steamboat inspectors, passing the craft, pronounced it the staunchest and best appointed tug- boat on Puget Sound. In its hull Goldabell embodies construction and design ideas originated with Mrs. Lewis that are almost revolutionary. One of the annoyances of river tug: boating, over tide flats and sand- bars, the clogging of the water cooling systems of the power plants by sand sucked in the circulating pumps. Mrs. Lewis had eliminated this on the “Eva D.” and the “Mary Lucille,” two smaller tugs, by a cooling system of leading fresh wa- ter outboard into pipe coils laid snug against the underwater skin of the boat. Engineers sald this would be impractical with an engine such as on the Goldabell, but Mrs. Lewis had her way, and on the test run the Goldabell’s big motor ran 50 degrees. cooler than usual with direct circulation. Day by day, or during the night, for tugboatmen must work “with the tides,” or when water is high, Mrs. Lewis handles the wheels of the company’s boats. Naturally Goldabell, powerful, roomy, com- fortable—her ving quarters de- signed by the woman pilot with a fine eye to her personal accommo- dation—is her charge. With enor: mous log tows astern, the ship threads the river channels or the deep waterways of Puget Sound, wherever business calls, with Mrs. Lywis at the wheel. She has outlet in Goldabell’s liv- ing quarters for the feminine in- stinct for “home-tidying.” In port, or during the long stretches at the wheel in open waters, she has am- ple time for reading and other cul- tural development. And Mrs. Lewis declares she is ppy —$—< $40,000 DAMAGE SUIT FILED HERE BASED ON EXPLOSION INJURIES A damage sult for $40,000 has been filed by Sol Epperson against the Wyoming Iron Works company and the Midwest Refining company for injuries ho alleges he received De- cember 20, 1916, in an explosion of a still.
