She made very good work of a hard Job. In the first place, the ship refused to be launched, She seemed deter+ mined to remain in the ways. Hun- |dreds of pounds of grease had been smeared under her keel and the last blocks had been cut away, but etill she refused to glide into deep water. Hundreds of men worked about her keel with sledses, giant hammers and crow bars, She seemed reluctant to leave her safe and comfortable berth on the waterless shipway of the Downey Company. Fully an hour elapsed before the huge bow, by sway- | ing gently, gave the first sign that} the Strathnaver was going to her} own. i During this long wait, Miss Car- negie, Roswell Miller, the man she is to marry, his mother and sister, Charles M. Schwab and a dozen others stood unprotected in the launching platform and merely laughed at the | inclemency of the weather. ‘The deluge | drench them all, but it bothered not one of them. When Miss Carnegie climbed down | from the platform built about thy bow of the Strathnaver she was quit! satisfied that the ship had been started on @ successful career. In her girlish eyes there shone @ fubi- lant spirit that grew as she watched the merchantman swing out into the stream. Miss Carnegie was very wet.

Schwab, | As she stood on the platform wait- ing for the vessel to move toward the water an army of ‘ship workers gave her cheer after cheer. They cheered as though they saw in her| the spirit of real democracy and a new relationship between employer and employed, On the advice of her fiance Miss Carnegie declined to grant an in- terview, and when photographers asked her to pose after the launching | Ensign Miller objected, | “You have been photographed enough for one day, Margaret,” he sald, as he Jed her to one of the upper floors of the Downey Administration , | Building, where tea was being served. | HURLING BOTTLE LIKE THROW- ING HAND GRENADES, Evening World reporter Miss e confessed that hurling a quart bottle of champagne against the tough bow of an American freighter is no mean sport. “When I picked up that heavy bot- tle of champagne I realized that it! | required nerve to smash it,” said Miss Carnegie, “It meant such an awful! explosion, 1 felt the way some of our | soldiers must have felt when they| were throwing their first hand gren- | ades, I wasn't sure just what tho bottle was going to do.
