LUSMA'S
SAILING BEOi
In Port at New York Only 32
Hours 10 Minutes,
RUSH TO SAVE SCHEDULE.
Liner Was Hurried Back Without Un
loading Somo of Her Cargo Dock
Strike In England Had Delayed Her
Sailing.
On her last trip out from New York
the liner Lusltania broke the famous
record of her sister ship, the Maure
taula, which In tho rush last Decem
ber to land her Christmas malls in
England in time was unloaded, loaded
and coaled and steamed away from
the New York port within thirty-eight
hours of her arrival. The work of get
ting the Lusltania into port and away
again was accomplished in thirty-two
hours and ten minutes.
The reason for all this haste is that
the Lusltania had been thrown off her
schedule by labor troubles on the other
side, and it was necessary for her to
catch up with her sailiug dates t
bring home the host of Americans
who had booked their return trip on
her.
The Lusltania brought 1,019 passen
gers, and It took several hours before
the baggage of the last of these had
been removed to the pier and her steer
age passengers transported to Ellis
Island. As soon as this was done the
307 stewards fell to work putting
things shipshape. They had to clean
000 rooms and scrub several miles of
alleyways and many feet of stairs.
Jn tho engine room the force began at
once to tune up engines and get ready
for the run to Liverpool.
As soon as possible the big Lusltania
was breasted off from her pier and the
coal barges sent alongside. They
worked four on each side.
Filling the larder was even more of
a task than coaling the Lusltania. The
liner nrrived here with supplies low,
for she had carried more than the or
dinary complement of passengers, it
was nearly sailing time when the re
port was brought that the last of the
provisions were in the cold storage
rooms. Some of the big items on tho
steward's list were 10,000 pounds of
beef, 1,600 pounds of lamb, 4,000
pounds of mutton, 4,000 pounds of fish,
2,000 pounds of corned beef, 21,000
eggs and four tons of vegetables.
Almost as soon as each arriving pas
senger loft his or her stateroom stew
ards were gathering up the linen, and
even while tho passengers' baggage
was coming ashore tho bales of soiled
linen were being tossed to' the lower
pier. An hour after the liner had made
fast the wash started on tho way to
the laundry. Forty thousand pieces
went and were washed and back on
board tho Lusltania within twenty
five hours.
The Lusltania brought 843 tons of
cargo, and sue took out almost tne
same amount. JJeyond the removal of
some express packages there was no
attempt to load or unload. It was said
that there was only a small amount of
perishable stuff between decks. Part
of this cargo, it Is said, are lemons.
They are now on their fourth trip
across the Atlantic, and their value
as a commercial product is a question
which will be best determined when
they are unloaded. This consignment
of lemons, according to tho story told
on board, first crossed tho Atlantic
from an Italian port to New York.
When they were landed It was found
there was a better market for lemons
in England. So they made their sec
ond voyage, this time to Liverpool in
the Lusltania. When tho vessel got
there labor agitation had destroyed the
market. Tho lemons remained on
board.
On her record trip to carry the Christ
mas malls tho Mauretania was in port
thirty-seven hours and twenty-one min
utes. She arrived at her pier at 4:41
a. m. Friday, Dec. 10. She sailed at
'0:02 p. m. on Saturday, Dec. 17.
DRAWN BY 96 OXEN.
Farmer Drives Them to Cart Twenty
Miles to Grange Fair.
John Cavanagh, a farmer, who lives
In Portland, Conn., decided to take his
family to the grange fair at Haddam
Neck. There is no railroad running be
tween the two towns.
Mr. Cavanagh owns ten yoke of oxen
himself and by borrowing from his
neighbors managed to collect forty
eight yoke, or ninety-six oxen alto
gether. With these attached to a gayly
decorated ox cart he made the trip,
covering the distance of about twenty
miles in five hours. Tho services of
twelve drivers were needed to guide
tho animals on tho road.
Tho line of cattle stretched for more
than a quarter of a mile along the
road, and It took them five minutes to
pass a given point On his arrival at
the fair grounds Cavanagh found that
he and his cattle attracted more atten
tion than any other exhibit on tho
grounds.
Longest Telegraphlo Circuit.
Probably tho longest direct tele
graphic circuit yet established Jn practice-was
put In use for one hour or
more when a war correspondent at
Douglas, Ariz., recently wired to New
York by way of Los Angeles, El Paso,
Dallas, Kansas City and Chicago, a
total distance of over 4,000 miles.
