News of her predicament was sent to New London and -the T. A. Scott Co.’s tugs Alert and F. N. Beckwith brought her into New London Thursday night. Captain Olhson, who commands the Thorjen, has an interesting story to tell of his battle with the sea. The steamer was making her maiden trip from Quebec to New York. She car- ried no-cargo and started from the Canadian port on December 6 with a sufficient quantity of coal to complete the trip under ordinary circumstances. Soon after leaving the St. Lawrence river the steamer encountered a se- ries of gales. TFour times she was driven a long distance from her course and the fight with wind and sea speedily reduced her coal supply. It was evident that there would not be coal enough to make a harbor and the furniture was smashed up and fed to the boilers to keep her moving. The crew ripped the planking from the top of the cabin and used up every available. piece of inflammable material before Vineyard sound was reached and the anchor dropped. Scott's tugs put 25 tons of coal on the steamer and now she is taking on 75 tons more, with which to com- plete her trip to New York. The steamer was first taken into New Bed- ford harbor and then was towed to New London. The Thorjen was built at Port Ar- thur on Lake Superior. NOANK MAN MARRIED TITANIC SURVIVOR in Effort to Make | August O. Mueller of Stonington Ha: Port. Designed New Motor Craft. The borought has a new boat de- signer in the person of August O. Mueller, of Stonington, who has just completed a model for a motor craft, which is unique in some of its fea- tures. In his plans Mr. Mueller has departed from the popular V hot- tom type and is working out a theory of fiat bottomed construction, which he is confident will offer even less resistance to water than the V bot- tom style. For demonstration purpos- s he intends to install a portable mo- or. The craft is especially designed for fresh water sailing and it is due to receive a tryout on Lantern Hill pond as soon as the ice breaks up. Vhile he is being assisted in the con- struction work by Frank R. Tracy, the ideas embodied in this particular type are all his own. ESCAPED INJURY Christmas Tree Fell .

The -state steamship terminal at East New London will be entirely completed in the early and in full readiness for the volume of trans- Atlantic and coastwise traffic which is certain to come in' its direction. Un- der the provisions of the contract the superstructure should have fin- ished Dec. 1 but because of the extra- ordinary conditions which arose in both the labor market and in trans- portation facilities the contractor, the Scheidenheim Construction Co. of, New York, was wholly unable to keep up to the pace demanded. At the present time the warehouses are completed to an extent of about 65 per cent. Prior to the holiday sea- son a force of about 180 men was em- ployed but some of these laid off vol- untartly to enjoy a vacation and prob- ably will not’ return until after the new year. This situation and the stormy weather caused further delay this week. Certain materials required which should have been here seven weeks ago are still among the miss- ing. The main warehouse is two stories il:‘ hel!gg 8&% feegd;a?.l and 100 feet de. either s a single story shed 509 feet long and 50 feet %e. All are of “the type known as mill construction.
