After haying been tied up for nearly a year at the drv dock where she underwent a complete reconditioning to fit her for her new work, the Prince William moved down to the Canadian National wharves for the first time on Thursday and many persons iook advantage 01 3fc32&il the opportunity that afternoon to make an inspection of her. Things were still rather topsy-turvy on board with some of the carpenter work hardly complete but it was t' possible to see that this trim HtUe Jf ', vessel should be well suited for the service she will be called upon to carry out in local waters. She is a model pretty much of her own and it would be difficult to think up a vessel on this coast with which she could be compared. Of racy lines from outward appearance, the Prince William, within, is a compact and neatly appointed vessel J I 1 I.. J ....U.1,1. A g UilU HAS CVU&CU bUUOlUCiauiC ittlUi- Jj able comment.

Wooden piles for the first two piers have now been driven and, on the first pier, bracing and capping will have been completed by the end of this week. Then the steel piling will go in and pouring of concrete for this first pier should be ready to start next week. Work on the other piers will follow. Excavations have also been completedjpr the tower on the north shore and here pouring of concrete will also be started next week. No start has yet been made on the towers on the south shore. With an expert here from Van couver, opportunity was taken this week to check up the radiotelephone equipment aboard the Pacific Salvage Co.'s power tug Salvage Princess in the course of her regular work with particular reference to such "dead zones" as may exist. The Salvage Princess went out Thursday afternoon to take the pilot, Capt. Larry Thomson, off the outgoing grain ship Roxen at Triple Island. While on this as well as other trips during the week, the vessel was in hourly communication with company headquarters In port. It is such radiophones as the one on the Princess which are proposed for installation on lonely lighthouses of the north coast. They would be a great boon in getting in touch with the outside world In case of illness or distress of those tending these isolated aids to navigation where communication with the outside world is all too seldom. Towlnf Fleet Busy The local branch of the Pacific Salvage Co. is having about the busiest time Just now so far in its history and it has been necessary j to call outside boats Into use to augment the regular fleet of .the company. The Salvage Princess and Pa- chena are engaged in general duty while the Red Boy stands by in port In case she should be needed for salvage work. The B. C. Packers' Nlshga and the Massett Canners' Delphinium are under charter to the company and are being kept fully occupied while it has been necessary to charter the Massett Canners' Jedway for special trips twice this week. Much of this work is arising from the construction operations of the Power Corporation of Canada and ihe reopening of the salmon can ning season although there Is also a lot of general marine activity. 1 Oh Wednesday the Delphinium made a trip to Oalloway Rapids with a shipment of powder for the provincial public works department. The powder is for use in construction work on the highway on the other side of the rapids and a pow- rl a Vt.,,.M V. - 1 1 I. ,,,1.1.1. uci nuuoc iiua ucrii pub up 111 wiiiuii j tn KtIl-P It.
