6 THE MARINE RECORD. ENCOURAGING TO E! .N^Sir: EERS. Whether It la owlnjc to the pereUtent np- penln of the teclinlciil press, the effect of tho societies of engineers anrliiRlng up nil over tin' country, or to the immriil InAllnut for gelf-prescrvntlon J*lileh dwellg 111 mmiklnd, we ennnot any, but It Is certtiin time serious Attention Ib belnic itlven In tlie^tntUBof ' engineer", Mid their porsoiml lltnesn for the poBt« they ocuupy. We rejoice at this, .for It enn reaiilt only In good to n class In this . country who Imvc never yet hud Justice done thenn We menu, of course, men who follow the nHMiigemeut of Bteum engines for n living. Engineers hnve not had jumlee done them' for the simple irnson thut ull have been lumped together; ,r'e (Eoad nnd the bud imvc been classed nUkc, nnd the Khortcamlnjjs of the poorest Imvc been churned upon those better Informed. Men who Hilvc x renlizing sense of the responsibility of their uhnrges luive been clnsscd with those who do not know the figures upon a steam gauge. Populnr Indltlerenco to the status of engi¬ neers is not by any menus confined to small consumers nnd ste'im users, but it extends to very high places. .Men are 10 be found occuppylng positions of trust nnd ro sp'onslblllty who can scarcely rend or write. We hnve plenty of proof ol this, nnd would, if we snw nny end to be gained by it, mention instances, but «e" have no desire to Impale Individuals, for the fault of a system. Thev exist because of the liidltietotice of employers, or Ignorance of employes, as to what an engineer should be, but the time Is rapidly coming when a man professing to bo an engineer will have to show that he i> such actually. What would be thought of u steamship company that would allow one of their vessels to go to sea with a captain who eould only write his name because lie had practiced ihnl graphic method ol Identifying hlro.6elf en paper? How, much more re¬ sponsible a post has Ijic ruptaln of a ship than the chief engineer? We answer none at all; a fact too palpable that id needs no argument to sustain It. ) We said at the bediming ol the article that a better state of things is npproachin'g, and we Bee this In the popular demand lor tho examination and classing of engineers. ^ot alone among ~ilie" men, but Irom the publlciJ!hi8Jentlmciit.isjilBOjltoviiLbyJhe_ comments of our contemporaries in other parts ol the country. They began to reallzo that an engineer- is a man of Bonie lui- poitance In the community, or,: should be, and that the safely of every one in his vicin¬ ity depepds upon how much ho knows, not upon what ho pretends to knoly.*. The day will come, sooner or later, when every city and town in this country will pave its license Bystem nnd its Inspectors of boil¬ ers, and it behooves all who can In any wny expedite Its comlne to do so.—Mechanical Engineer. LAKE HEK01NE5. . The Chicago Times Is authority for the following on heroines ofcthe lakes. It says: The "Queen of the Lumber Fleet" Is often respectfully alluded to by the lumber, deal ers, tug owners, vessel men, and others who congregnte at the exchange docks In Chicago. She Is the daughter of the captain of the schooner Scud, is remarkable for her beauty, and, though now only seventeen years of age, aided last season in saving the crew of a wrecked Vessel. Volunteers for the life¬ boat were scarce, and tho young lady Insist¬ ed that she could row, and that slie could do better tlia'n nny man who knew nothing about a bout. The necessity was great and pressing, and she was reluctantly taken along. When the boat was going through the breakers the girl proved to be the best of the party at the oars, and the rescue was successfully made. The "Mistress of Lake Michigan Is Miss McKee, daughter of Cap¬ tain McKee, the keeper of the waterworks crib, lour miles oil' Chicago harbor. On stormy nights when the seas make the. great crib rock to nnd fro, nnd tho wind Is monn- ing like a chorus of lost Bonis, the crib Is not as pleasant atplaco iib a comfortable drawing room ashore, and yet Miss McKee has bcon there alone through many a stormy night, has kept Inithful watch ol tho light, find Iiiib sounded the fog bell regularly. It has oc¬ curred sometimes that a-storm suddenly arose when Captain McKee was ashore In tho city, and It continued all through the night, making It Impossible lor him to re¬ turn. On those occasions Miss McKee has taken the night watch herselt, a nil her vigils huve kept everything right. Not long ago mysterious noises were heaid about the crib nights, which could not bo accounted-lor. One dark, stormy night an unearthly scream or shriek was heard three times,In succes¬ sion, nnd Captain McKee and his family cer¬ tainly thought It Came from a human being. Tho boat wns>lowcrcd to render assistance, If ppaslblejiut no one waa discovered. The fear wag thlat some small orufr, with women abonrd, hnu drifted out in the lake. The next day a large lake loon was found drifting about on the surface near tho crib. It was this Inol-' dent that gave currency to the talk now and then heard among sailors and tugmeu that the crib- Is haunted. Large parties oh gentle¬ men and Indies villi Captain MuKoew lonelv mansion -during tho summer .moifths, and MissMcKea's prepossessing appejrfancu and her,, natural grace and accomplishments prompted sesmen to allude to her as the worthy "mlsiresa of Lake Michigan," and she Is now generally so known. Well acquainted and a favorite 'in the host social clrolesof the city, the young lady It also an adept with, tho oar, and hns a record of saving nevon llvci.ln individual cases. A short time ago a party were returning to the city from the crib in a snll yacht.. A flerco squall swept-Btiddonly-down, upon them. The, gentlemen were "summer weather" sailors, and Miss McKee, who was on board as a guest, assuhied command. The frail little jacht weathered the squall, but all hands ngrecd that she would hnve been loet had it not been (or Mlej McKee's excellent sea¬ manship. Mrs, Prank .Perew, the wife of Prank" Perow, Esq., of Buffalo, takes a cruise now and then during the summer oh board one of her husband's steamers, generally neenm panled by a party of friends or relatives. On ono occasion she came to Chicago on the Btcamcr John B. Lyon, which also had In tow the schooners John Hutchinson, Joseph G. Masters, and Chandler J. Wells, the com¬ bined cargoes being about 0,000 tone of coal. ■Tho tow of vessels, connected by lines nearly two '.hundred leet long, presented a beautiful and Imposing sight. It was called the "grand arinndn," and Mrs. Perew wnB called "Queen of the Lukes." She is still bo called.- The lady is n Jewess. Miss Morgan, who resides at ongfof the cast shore ports on this lake, has saved, at different limes, thirty-nine lives. She often helps "man" .the life-boat when volunteers are scarce, nnd she Ib an expert at the onrs. Though not a large woman, she.Is powerful and brave nnd dnrlng. A season or two ago the government recognized Miss Morgan's services by presenting her with a gold life Saving rredel of the first class. THE RACINE FOG SIGNAL. MaBtors of steamboats arriving In port yesterday complained of tho man who runs the steam fog whistles at RaGlne, stating that -neither whistle nor any other signal was Bounded Thursday night, nlthough there was ii dense fog on the lake. The captaln-of one propeller said he left JIIlAy.nuk.ce nt midnight and the whistle at that'point Was blowing. He steered the usual course for Racine, and when his running time to tire point had ex pired he began to listen for the fog whistle.
