<DIV align=left> Norfolk, Va., April 17--Capt. John Twohy, who
is well known by all of the coal operators in the Flat Top coal fields, launched
several days ago at Newport News, Va., a new tug boat to be used in docking the
steamers at Lambert's Point coal piers. This boat was christened by Capt.
Twohy's son and the boat will be named John Twohy, jr.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> This is the most powerful boat that has ever
been used at the Lamberts Point piers in docking steamers, but as the class of
steamers that are now being built are much larger, it requires a larger tug boat
to put them along side the piers, and as the piers at Lambert's Point are and
have been known for years as the largest and fastest bunker coal loading piers
in the world, Mr. Twohy has left nothing undone in the building of this boat
that will in any way delay the docking of steamers, and with the continued
output of the world's famous fuel coal known as the C. C. & B. Pocahontas,
all steamers coming to that port are bunkered and sail before steamers at other
points are put alongside piers to take on coal.</DIV>
<DIV align=left> The last tug which Mr. Twohy had built was
such a powerful and seaworthy tug that President Roosevelt bought it to help
handle the dredging machines that are and have been used in the digging of the
Panama Canal, and this tug which was built to use C. C. & B. coal has done
more work towards building the canal than any other two boats that are there at
work.</DIV>
