A LONG-FELT want has been filled by procuring a new boat for ship missionary work in New York Harbor. It is named “The Sentinel,” and is thus described by Capt. J. Christiansen, who has charge of the boat and of the ship missionary work in the harbor:—
“The Sentinel” under Sail.
Inside of "The Sentinel" Cabin.
“The craft measures thirty feet from stem to stern, and nine and one-half feet beam. It has a cabin twelve feet long from the middle of the boat and forward. In the bow is placed a copper tank for gasoline large enough to hold about one hundred gallons. A six-horse-power engine of the value of $600 is placed in the after part of the boat. Mr. Wing, of New York, of whom the engine was bought, put it in its place free of charge. The machinery works well and propels the boat at the rate of about six miles per hour, and at the cost of only about two cents per mile. In case the engine gets out of order, the boat can be worked by a sail. The mast is so constructed, however, that it can be taken down. The entire cost of the boat complete, as seen in the illustration, is $1,350.”
We have information from Captain Christiansen that he can furnish excellent photos of the new boat for twenty-five cents each, postpaid. No doubt many of our readers would be glad to secure one, especially as the proceeds of the sale go to replace the expenditure of the General Conference in procuring the boat. Orders may be sent to Pacific Press Publishing Co., 39 Bond Street, New York City, N. Y.
