Commercial Traffic Through the Panama Canal During the Fiscal Year1926, Segregated Among the Principal Trade Routes.

A segregation of commercial traffic through the Canal for the fiscalyear ended June 30, 1926, shows seven routes over which the move-ment of cargo aggregated more than 1,000,000 tons. Of these sevenroutes, only one shows a fairly balanced trade with respect to volumeof traffic handled, and in five of them the preponderance of tonnagewas in the Pacific-to-Atlantic movement. This one-way cargo move-ment was largely responsible for 874 vessels transiting the Canal inballast during -the year. Of these, 535 were tankships, of which all butfive were Pacific bound ; and 339 were general cargo carriers, of whichall but 32 were en route to Pacific ports.By far the most important route was the trade between the Atlantic

and Pacific coasts of the United States. More than 10,000,000 tonsof cargo passed through the Canal during the year in this trade, exceed-ing the tonnage of any previous year excepting 1924 when the mineraloil shipments brought the aggregate cargo moving between UnitedStates intercoastal ports up to 13,527,378 tons.

Cargo moving between the east coast of the United States and thewest coast of South America ranked second in volume, the tonnage for1926 being greater than for any preceding fiscal year.Third in volume was the cargo moving between Europe and the

west coast of South America and this is the only important tradeshowing a lower cargo movement for 1926 than for the preceding year.The shrinkage was in the European bound tonnage and the decline wasless than one hundred thousand tons.The trade between Europe and the Pacific coast of North America

is segregated in the table below in an effort to show the movement be-tween United States ports and Canadian ports. The trade betweenEurope and the Pacific northwest should be considered as a unit, how-ever, since the same steamship lines serve both countries an accuratesegregation of cargo in many instances is difficult. Combining thetwo routes, this trade ranks second to the United States intercoastaltrade in volume of tonnage. European bound tonnage was more thanfour times greater than the volume of return cargoes over this routeCargo moving between the east coast of the United States and tL^

Far East shov/ed an increase over the preceding year but was less thanin 1923 or 1924. Cargoes returning from the Orient over this routeaggregated less than one-third the volume of the outgoing tonnage.Trade between Australasia and the east coasts of the United States

and Canada and with Europe, exceeded that of any preceding year,there being a considerable increase in the volume of tonnage movingfrom Australasia to the British Isles and in the Canadian-Australasiantonnage.


Although the aggregate cargo tonnage passing through the Canal

during the fiscal year 1926 was not so great as in 1924, the trade was

better diversified, tanker tonnage compnsmg approximately but 25

per cent of the total during 1926 as compared with 39 per cent m 1924.

With the exception of the slump in mineral oil shipments, and a very

slight decline in cargo moving between the east coast of the United

States and the Far East, there has been a progressive increase m all

the principal trades contributing to Canal traffic during the past two

^^Details concerning the number of transits, revenue from tolls, ag-

gregate net tonnage, and cargo tonnage, in each trade are contained mthe tabulation following:

' These 74 vessels entered the Canal at Cristobal and proceeded as far as Gatun Lake, where, after taking on cargoesof bananas, they returned to the Atlantic entrance of the Canal. As vessels transiting the Canal as far as Gatun Lakeonly, are entitled to retarn to Canal port of entry without payment of tolls for return voyage, the only items takenup in connection with these transits in the Pacific-tb-Atlantio traffic statistics is the amount of cargo tonnage.

In addition to the above traffic through the Canal, 809 vessels called

at Cristobal and 154 vessels at Balboa during the year, without transit-

ing the Canal. Of the vessels transiting the Canal, 1,049 stopped at

Cristobal and 737 at Balboa for the purpose of handling passengersor cargo at the terminal ports.

Information from American Consuls.

The Consular officers of the United States at seaports all over the world are ex officio representativesof The Panama Canal for the purpose of furnishing information to shipping and allied interests as toconditions, charges, etc., at the Panama Canal affecting the operation of ships. The current publicationsof The Panama Canal of interest to shipping are furnished to the Consular officers and filed for reference.

It is not desired that inquiries of a general nature be addressed to the Consular officers, or that theybe burdened with requests which should be made direct to The Panama Canal; but ships' operators whomay not be sufficiently advised as to charges, supplies, facilities, etc., at the Canal will often save timeby applying to the nearest American Consul.

These 4 vessels entered the Canal at Cristobal and proceeded as far as Gatun Lake, where, after taking on car -

goes of bananas, they returned to the Atlantic entrance of the Canal. As vessels transiting the Canal as far as GatunLake only, are ent tied to return to Canal port of entry without payment of tolls for return voyage, the only items taken

up in connection \vith these transits in the Pacific-to-.\tlantie traffic statistics is the amount of cargo tonnage.

Record Voyage from New York to Yokohama via Panama Canal.

The Shipping Register of July 24, 1926, states that the motor ship

Japanese Prince of the Prince Line made the voyage from New Yorkto Yokohama, via Norfolk, the Panama Canal, and Los Angeles in

30 days elapsed time. This is claimed to have set a new record for the

fast transportation of merchandise to the Far East.

The Japanese Prince is one of five new motor vessels of the Prince

Line being placed in the Far Eastern service by Furness, Withy & Co.

She is 441.5 feet long with a beam of 60.35 feet and a Panama Canalnet tonnage of 6,152. On this voyage she passed through the PanamaCanal on June 20, 1926, laden with 5,850 tons of general cargo. It is

claimed that these vessels will make the voyage from New York to

Yokohama in 28 days when their machinery is thoroughly adjusted.

The distance from New York to Yokohama via Norfolk, the PanamaCanal and Los Angeles is approximately 9,900 nautical miles. Tomakes this in 30 days elapsed time means an average speed of 13.7

knots; 28 days means nearly 15 knots.


The Consular officers of the United States at seaports all over the world are ex officio representatives

of The Panama Canal for the purpose of furnishing information to shipping and allied interests as to

conditions, charges, etc., at the Panama Canal affecting the operation of ships. The current publications

of.The Panama Canal of interest to shipping are furnished to the Consular officers and filed for reference.

Publication of Notices and Circulars of Interest to Shipping.All of the Panama Canal notices to mariners, notices to steamship lines and general circulars oJ

interest to shipping in its relation to the Canal are published in The Panama Canal Record.For this reason it is considered unnecessary to make a separate general distribution, away fromthe Isthmus of such notices and circulars to those receiving The Panama Canal Rbcord. Shippinginterests are adviied to look for them in this paper, which is supplied to them without charge.


Merchandise Shipped to Canal Zone for Orders.

The Panama Railroad Company, a New York corporation, of whichthe stock is now owned by the United States Government, will ware-

house "for orders" at its piers and warehouses at Balboa and Cristobal,

Canal Zone, nonperishable and nondangerous merchandise, excepting

alcoholic liquors, subject to conditions and charges which will beexplained on application to the Company at 24 State St., New YorkCity, or Balboa Heights, Canal Zone.

On general merchandise the rates are as follows:

(o) For handling cargo from ship's side to storage place, the customary inward

local charge of $1 per ton.

(b) For delivery or reforwarding, customary outward local charge of $1 per ton.

(Total of 20 cents per ton more than regular transfer charge.)

(c) For storage, 3 cents per ton per day, except that no charge will be made for

the first 35 days.The Panama Railroad Company stores this cargo in four fireproof warehouses, 160

feet by 850 feet, at Cristobal, and in one of the same dimensions at Balboa.

Details of arrangements were published in The Panama CanalRecord of March 18, 1925, and will be furnished upon application to

the Panama Railroad Company, Balboa Heights, Canal Zone, or 24

State Street, New York, N. Y.Cargo stored for orders ex steamers of Panama Railroad Line, Panama Mail,

Pacific Steam Navigation Co., and Peruvian Line, can be reforwarded from the Isth-

mus—each carrier to collect its proportion of the through rate instead of the local.

This means that should a shipment move from New York to the Canal Zone, it will

of course pay regular local rate to Balboa or Colon, as the case may be—but shouMowner wish to reforward to, say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarrier's

proportion of the through rate. Upon evidence that the shipment or any part of it

moved beyond the Canal Zone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between

the through and local rate.

There are no special forms for use in shipping, except the warehouseman's order

to release the cargo for shipment. Shipper takes out his bill of lading and consular

invoice and the cargo moves as regular outward local.

The Panama Railroad Company, a Xew \"ork cor[X)ration, of whichthe stock is now owned b\' the United States Go\ernment, will ware-house "for orders" at its piers and warehouses at Balboa and Cristobal,

Canal Zone, nonperishable and nondangerous merchandise, exceptingalcoholic liquors. An illustrated pamphlet explaining in detail thearrangement may be had upon application to the Panama RailroadCo.. Balboa Heights, C. Z.. or 24 State Street New York City.


(a) For handling cargo from ship's side to storage place, the customary inwardlocal charge of SI per ton.

(b) For delivery or rcforwarding, customary outward local charge of SI per ton.

(Total of 20 cents per ton more than regular transfer charge.)(c) For storage, 3 cents per ton per day, except that no charge will be made for

the first 35 days.The Panama Railroad CompanA- stores this cargo in four fireproof warehouses, 160

feet by 850 feet, at Cristobal, and in one of the same dimensions at Balboa.Cargo stored for orders can be reforwarded from the Isthmus—each carrier to col-

lect its proportion of the through rate instead of the local. This means that should ashipment move from New York to the Canal Zone, it will of course pay regular local

rate to Balboa or Colon, as the case may be—but should owner wish to reforward to,

say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarri^^r's proportion of the throughrate. Upon evidence that the shipment or any part of it moved beyond the CanalZone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between the through and local rate.

There are no special forms for use in shipping except the warehouseman's order torelease the cargo for shipment ("Authority to Deliver Cargo from Storage on Piers").

Shipper takes out his bill of lading and consular invoice and the cargo moves as regular

outward local.

Samples of the forms used, "Negotiable ^^'arehouse Receipt," and "Authority toDeliver Cargo from Storage on Piers," are shown in the pamphlet referred to above.

Classification of Cargo Passing Through the Panama Canal, Showing Origin

and Destination during Fiscal Year ending June 30, 1926.

A statement of all commodities passing through the Panama Canal,

showing origin and destination, during the fiscal year ending June 30,

1926, is shown in tables I and II on pages 56 to 71 of this issue. Fromcargo declarations submitted by masters of vessels it was possible to

classify little over 70 per cent of the cargo passing from the Atlantic

to the Pacific during the year and nearly 95 per cent of that passing

from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

PRINCIPAL COMMODITIES—^ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC.

Commodities shipped to the Pacific which aggregated more than

100,000 tons in any of the fiscal years, 1924, 1925, or 1926, are listed in

the following tabulation

These 15 commodity groups made up slightly over 60 per cent of the

total cargo through the Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific during

the fiscal years, 1924, and 1925, and about 58 per cent of that during the

fiscal year, 1926. With the exception of cement and mineral oils, all

of these commodity groups show an increase for 1926 as comparedwith 1925. As compared with 1924 the year 1926 shows increases in

ammonia, automobiles, and accessories, coal and coke, cotton, paperand paper pulp, phosphates, sugar, and sulphur; and decreases in

The above 14 commodity groups comprised about 94 per cent of the

cargo in transit through the Canal from the Pacific to the Atlantic

during the fiscal year, 1924, and about 90 percent of that for the fiscal

years, 1925 and 1926. As compared with 1924 the fiscal year, 1926,

shows increases in canned goods, coft'ee, cold storage, dried fruit, lumber,various metals, nitrates, various ores, sugar and wool; and decreases

in barley, beans, mineral oils, and wheat. As compared with 1925,

the fiscal year, 1926, shows increases in all the commodities listed ex-

cept beans, nitrates, and mineral oils.

CARGO FROM ATLANTIC TO PACIFIC—ORIGIN AND DESTINATION.

From 65 to 70 per cent of the cargo passing through the Canal fromthe Atlantic to the Pacific during the last three fiscal years originated

on the eastern seaboard of the United States and from 20 to 25 per

cent in Europe. These two areas account for over 90 per cent of the

cargo in this direction.

Four areas, the west coasts of the United States and South America,the Far East, and Australasia constitute the destination of more than90 [)er cent of this cargo, that for the west coast of the Ijnited States

absorbing about 40 per cent of the total.

Four regions of origin furnished over 95 per cent of the cargo in

transit through the Canal in this direction during the fiscal years, 1924,

1925, and 1926, the west coast of the United States being the origin of


56 to 67 per cent, the west coast of South America from 20 to 30 percent, the west coast of Canada from 5 to 10 per cent, and Australasiafrom 2 to 4 per cent.

From 60 to 70 per cent of the cargo eastbound through the Canal is

destined to the eastern seaboard of the United States and from 20 to30 per cent is destined to Europe. These two regions of destinationaccount for more than 90 per cent of this cargo.

Following are the figures for the past three fiscal years;

Mineral oils from the western seaboard of the United States continueto be the heaviest single item of cargo in this direction, the tonnagebeing 9,721,446 in the fiscal year, 1924; 5.989,622 in 1925; and 5,930,716 in 1926. These shipments were fairly steady for the past two yearsbut shipments in other commodities have made healthy growths. Incommodities other than mineral oils the fiscal year, 1925, shows anincrease of 1,157,653 tons over 1924; and 1926 an increase of 1,498,818tons over 1925.

TOTAL ( AKGO.

Total cargo through the Canal during the last three fiscal years hasbeen: In 1924, 26,994,710 tons; in 1925, 23,958,836 tons; in 1926,26,037,448 tons. Thus the cargo in the fiscal year, 1926, was greaterthan in the fiscal year, 1925, by 2,078,612 tons or nearly 9 per cent andless than in the fiscal year, 1924, the record year to date for Canaltraflfic, by 957.252 tons or about i\ per cent.

Proportion of Tolls Derived from Tank Ships.

During the fiscal year 1924 receipts of tolls from tank ships aggre-gated $9,071,835.65 and comprised slightly more than 37 per cent of

the total revenue collected in tolls from vessels transiting the Canal.In 1925 the volume of tanker tonnage passing through the Canaldeclined appreciably, and the revenue from tolls dropped to $5,728,-362.26, comprising slightly less than 27 per cent of the total revenuecollected for tolls during that year. During the year ended June 30,

1926, tolls from tanker tonnage aggregated $5,626,167.93, and com-prised 24| per cent of the total revenue collected as tolls.

The volume of general traffic has been increasing from year to yearbut for the year 1925, the small increase in general cargo tonnage wasinsufficient to offset the marked decrease in tanker tonnage and,consequently, tolls for the year ended June 30, 1925, were nearly$3,000,000 lower than for the preceding year. During the past fiscal

year tolls levied on general cargo carriers were greater by more than$1,600,000 than in the fiscal year 1925, and with the tanker tonnageremaining approximately the same, the result was an increase of morethan one and one-half million dollars in the amount of revenue col-

lected from tolls.

The tabulation below shows aggregate tolls collected on all traffic

passing through the Canal during the past three fiscal years, segregated

to show the revenue derived from tanker tonnage and general andmiscellaneous tonnage transiting the Canal.

FREQUENCY OF TRANSIT OF VE.SSELS THROUGH THE PANAMA CANAL.

During the fiscal year 1926, 1,564 individual commercial vessels,

representing 24 nationalities, passed through the Panama Canal. Thenumber of transits |)er individual ship varied from 1 to 37, the 1,564

vessels making a total of 5,197 transits, or an average of 3.32 transits

per vessel.

The highest number of transits of any \essel during the fiscal year

was 37, made In- the motor ship Atmto, owned and operated by the

Colombian TransiK)rt Company, fl>'ing the Colombian flag, and plying

between the west coast of Colombia and Cristobal. The steamer

Acajutla of British registry, owned and operated by the Pacific SteamNavigation Company, was second with 27 transits.

Vessels of the United States registr>- led in aggregate number of

transits, though not in number of indi\ idual ships. While represent-

ing only 32 j)er cent of the indixidual vessels passing through the

Canal they made up appro.ximately 47 per cent of the total transits.

Ships of British registry ranked second in total transits with 1,423,

and Norway third with 306.


The following table shows the number of individual ships, the fre-:

quency of transit per vessel and total transits for the year, segregated

by nationalities:

With the fall movement of fruit, canned goods, and grainaugmenting the normal traffic, it is unlikely that there will be anyslump in traffic during the remaining four months of the calendar yearand it is probable, therefore, that total revenue from tolls for the presentcalendar year will be approximately $24,000,000. The record calendaryear's traffic to date was in 1923 when receipts from tolls aggregated$22,966,838.18, or an average of $1,913,903.18 per month. It is Hkelythat tolls for 1926 will exceed the 1923 record by about $1,000,000.

Statistics of traffic passing through the Canal for the period fromJanuary 1 to August 31, inclusive, for the past 6 years, are given in thefollowing tabulation:

1.500 tons an hour, practically as fast as it can be handled in ships' bunkers. Oil can be deliveredas fast as the ships can take it, from 30 tanks aggregating approximately .5,536,500 barrels ot storagecapacity. Crude fuel oil, Diesel oil, and gasoline are sold.

The ships' chandlery storehouses carry a wide variety of marine supplies and spare parts. Thecommissary stores sell foodstuffs, fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as clothing and a generalline of goods for supplying about 30.000 people resident on the Isthmus. Ice plants, a large laundry,hotels, hospitals, an(l restaurants serve the passengers and crews of ships.

A 1 ,000-foot dry dock, capable of receiving the largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating cranes,foundry, and amply equipped shops, employing about 1,100 men, provide the means of making prac-tically any kind of marine repairs.

In general, the services to shipping at the Canal are such as have been developed and founrt ample«nd effective in the course of handling laree traffic throuah the Canal in over 1 1 years of operation.


The Consular officers of the United States at seaports all over the world are ex officio representativesof The Panama Canal for the purpose of furnishing information to shipping and allied interests as to

conditions, charges, etc.. at the Panama Canal affecting theoperation of ships. Thecurrent publications

of The Panama Canal of interest to shipping are furnished to the Consular officers and riled for reference.

It is not desired that inquiries of a general nature be addressed to the Consular officers, or that theybe burdened with re(iuests wliich should be made direct to The Panama Canal; but ships' operators whomay not be sufficiently advised as to charges, supplies, facilities, etc., at the Canal will often save timeby applying to the nearest American Consul.

shipment move from New York to the Canal Zone, it will of course pay regular local


say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarri^r's proportion of the throughrate. Upon evidence that the shipment or any part of it moved beyond the CanalZone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between the through and local rate.

Dredge "Culebra."

MoTORSHiP for September, 1926. comments on the work of the sea-

going suction dredge Culebra on the bar outside of San Francisco,

stating that the Culebra has been working on this bar for the last twoyears and during the past year has been forced back into the harbor but

twice. This is said to be a remarkable performance, taking into consid-

eration the heavy seas and rough weather often encountered.

The Culebra is one of the two seagoing suction dredges purchased bythe Isthmian Canal Commission in 1907 for use in dredging out the

approaches to the Canal. She was used in this ser\ice until 1914.

later converted into a cattle boat to bring cattle to the Canal Zone from

nearby countries, and, in 1921, reconverted to a dredge. In Xo\ember,1923, she was sold to the United States Engineer Corps and transferred

to San Francisco.

Another sea-going suction dredge has been secured for work on the

Pacific coast. This dredge, the A. Mackenzie, passed through the

Canal on March 17, 1926. en route from Philadelphia to San Diego.

California. After some work there and at Grays Harbor, Wash-ington, she will be stationed at San Francisco. The A. Mackenzie is

Diesel-electric driven, 20 feet shorter than the Culebra, and a little

smaller in breadth, depth, and hopper capacity.

TOLLS.

At present, tolls are collected at rates of $1.20 per ton for laden vessels and $0.72for vessels in ballast, computed on the basis of The Panama Canal rules of measure-ment, with the proyision that tolls shall not exceed $1.25 per ton nor be less than$0.75 per ton, as determined in accordance with the United States rules for themeasurement of net registered tonnage. In order to ascertain the proper tolls charges,it is necessary, therefore, that the net tonnage of vessels transiting the Canal bedetermined both in accordance with The Panama Canal and the United States rules

of measurement.Taking the traffic through the Canal for the month of August, 1926, the following

tabulation shows a comparison of tolls actually collected under the present methodof assessing tolls and the tolls that would have been collected on the basis of ThePanama Canal rules of measurement at the proposed rates of $1.00 laden and $0.60ballast, with transits for the month segregated by flag:

United States Intercoastal Traffic by Commodities for August, 1926.

The following table shows the cargo carried through the Canal in

the United States intercoastal trade, segregated by commodities anddirection, with the totals, and the totals for August, 1925 and 1924.

Cargo statistics are compiled from cargo declarations submitted bymasters of vessels, and in these declarations small items are frequently

grouped under the designation of "General Cargo." These statistics

are accordingly not precise but they are indicative of the kind andquantity of the cargo in transit through the Canal. The figures repre-

sent tons of 2.240 pounds, and are for the I'uited States intercoastal

trade only:

The Panama Railroad Company, a New York corporation, of whichthe stock is now owned by the United States Government, will ware-house "for orders" at its piers and warehouses at Balboa and Cristobal,Canal Zone, nonperishable and nondangerous merchandise, exceptingalcoholic liquors. An illustrated pamphlet explaining in detail thearrangement may be had upon application to the Panama RailroadCo., Balboa Heights, C. Z., or 24 State Street. New York City.On general merchandise the rates are as follows:(a) For handling cargo from ship's side to storage place, the customary inward


(b) For delivery or reforwarding, customary outward local charge of $1 per ton.(Total of 20 cents per ton more than regular transfer charge.)

(c) For storage, 3 cents per ton per day, except that no charge will be made forthe first 35 days.The Panama Railroad Company stores this cargo in four fireproof warehouses, 160

feet by S50 feet, at Cristobal and in one of the same dimensions at Balboa.Cargo stored for orders can be reforwarded from the Isthmus—each carrier to col-

lect its proportion of the through rate instead of the local. This means that should ashipment move from New York to the Canal Zone, it will of course pay regular localrate to Balboa or Colon, as the case may be—but should owner wish to reforward to,say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarri^r's proportion of the throughrate. Upon evidence that the shipment or any part of it moved beyond the CanalZone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between the through and local rate.There are no special forms for use in shipping except the warehouseman's order to

release the cargo for shipment ("Authority to Deliver Cargo from Storage on Piers").Shipper takes out his bill of lading and consular invoice and the cargo moves as regularoutward local.

Samples of the forms used, "Negotiable Warehouse Receipt," and "Authority toDeliver Cargo from Storage on Piers," are shown in the pamphlet referred to above.


The Panama Canal Commissary Division, with facilities at Balboaand Cristobal for delivery of supplies to steamships, carries a completeline of provisions, such as meats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, butter,canned goods, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, etc., which are sold to shipsat the prices which are in effect for employees, no surcharge beingadded. Beef especially is available at low prices, hindquarters selling

at 12§ cents per pound and forequarters at 11 cents per pound.Orders may be placed in advance by radio for delivery on arrival,

or at either terminal for prompt delivery or for delivery at the otherterminal after transit. All vessels are boarded on arrival by a repre-sentative of the Commissar}^ Division.

Facilities for Shipping.The Panama Cana,! is equipped with all the facilities for the fueling, supply, and repair of ships


1,500 tons an hour, practically as fast as it can be handled in ships' bunkers. Oil can be deliveredas fast as the ships can take it, from 30 tanks aggregating approximately 3,536,500 barrels of storagecapacity.

_Crude fuel oil, Diesel oil, and gasoline are sold.

The ships' chandlery storehouses carry a wide variety of marine supplies and spare parts. Thecommissary stores sell foodstuffs, fresh meats, fruiti?. and vegt-tables, as well as clothing and a generalline of goods for supplying about 30.000 people resident on the Isthmus. Ice plants, a large laundry,hotels, hospitals, and restaurants serve the passengers and crews of ships.A 1 ,000-foot dry dock, capable of receiving the largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating cranes,

foundry, and amply equipped shops, employing about 1,100 men, provide the means of making prac-tically any kind of marine repairs.

In general, the services to shipping at the Cana! are such as have been developed and found ampleand effecttvp in the course of handling large trafiSc through the Canal in over 11 years of operation.

Publication of Notices and Circulars of Interest to Shipping.All of the Panama Canai notices to mariners, notices to steamship lines and genera! circulars of

interest to shipping in its relation to the Canal are published in The Panama Canal Record.For this reason it is considered unnecessary to make a separate general distribution, away from"hf Tothmus of such notices and circulars to those receiving The Panama Canal Record. Shippinginterests ar* advised to look for them in this vaper, which is Rupplied to them without charge.

which transited the Canal during the fiscal year 1926, was 402.69 feet,

53.7 feet, and 22.54 feet, respectively. The average length, beam,

and draft of vessels bound from the Atlantic to the Pacific was 400.63

Large Whaler Transits Canal.

The Norwegian whaling ship C. A. Larsen, ex-tanker San Gregorio,

owned by Johan Rasmussen and N. Konow, arrived at Cristobal onOctober 6, 1926, from Norfolk, Va., en route to Port Chalmers, N. Z.,

via Los Angeles. This vessel is probably the largest whaler in exist-

ence, having a carrying capacity of about 67,000 barrels of whale oil.

It is fitted with a false bow which can be removed, leaving a hole about

18 feet in diameter, through which the entire body of a whale can be

hauled up on the upper deck, there cut to pieces by machinery, and shot

down to the rendering vats below by means of manholes conveniently

placed on both sides of the deck. The propelling machinery uses oil fuel,

but the rendering boilers are fitted for coal. She carriers a crew of 163

men, has a length of 527 feet, beam of 66.6 feet, and a deadweighttonnage of 17,200.

Traffic During the First Fifteen Days of October.

During the first 15 days of October, 225 commercial vessels and 8small nonseagoing launches transited the Canal. Tolls on the com-mercial vessels aggregated $1,013,171.31, and on the launches $53.70,or a total tolls collection of 11,013,225.01.

The daily average number of transits of commercial vessels for themonth was 15, and the daily average tolls collection $67,544.44. Theaverage amount of tolls paid by each of the commercial transits was$4,502.98, as compared with $4,563.25 for the first 15 days of Sep-tember.The largest calendar year's traffic in the history of the Canal was in

1923, when 5,037 commercial vessels transited the Canal, paying$22,966,838.18 in tolls. Should the present volume of traffic be main-tained for the remaining months of the present calendar year, based ondaily averages for the first 9^ months, total transits for the year wouldaggregate approximately 5,500, with tolls collections in excess of$24,000,000, and would exceed the record established in 1923, both in

number of transits and tolls collected.

In the following tabulation, the number of commercial transits andthe amount of tolls collected are shown for the first 9^ months of thepresent calendar year, together with the daily averages of transits andtolls:

Steamships "Resolute" and "Reliance" to Again Fly German Flag.

Announcement was made recently of the purchase, by the originalowners, the Hamburg-American Line, of the steamships Resoluteand Reliance from the Harriman shipping interests. These two vesselshave been under Panamanian registry for the past several years but will

again fly the German flag under the present ownership.The Resolute has transited the Canal several times under Panamanian

registry, the lastbeing in January of this \'earen routefrom the Atlanticto the Pacific on an around the world cruise. The Resolute is scheduledfor another around the world cruise, lea\-ing New York eastboundJanuary 6, 1927, and returning via the Panama Canal on May 25.

It is stated that this cruise is two weeks longer than those arrangedformerly in order to include stops at Siam, Borneo, and Formosa.

Cunard Liner "Carinthia" on Around the World Cruise.

The Cunard liner Carinthia, owned and operated by the CunardSteamship Company, and chartered by the Raymond-Whitcomb TourCompany, arrived at Cristobal on the morning of October 22, 1926,on the first lap of a four months' world cruise. Transit of the Canalwas begun early on the morning of arrival, and upon reaching Balboathe passengers disembarked for an automobile sightseeing trip, followedbv dinner at the Hotel Tixoli. The \essel cleared for San Francisco12.05 a. m., October 23.

The Carinthia has a Panama Canal net tonnage of 16,701 tons and alinited States registered net tonnage of 10,155. Tolls for the transitamounted to vS12,693.75.

Omitting the passage of the steamship Ryndam, \\ hich was not in thenature of the ordinary pleasure cruises, the transit of the Carinthiais the first around the \\orld cruise to pass through the Canal duringthe 1926-1927 season. Five additional world cruises are scheduled to

pass through the Canal within the next few months.


The Panama Canal Commissary Division, with facilities at Balboa and Cristobalfor delivery of supplies to steamships, carries a complete line of provisions, such asmeats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, butter, canned goods, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco,etc., which are sold to ships at the prices which are in effect for employees, no sur-charge being added. Beef especially is available at low prices, hindquarters selling

at 125 cents per pound and forequarters at 11 cents per pound.Orders may be placed in advance by radio for delivery on arrival, or at either ter-

minal for prompt delivery or for delivery at the other terminal after transit. Allvessels are hoarded on arrival by a representative of the Commissary Division.

Price of Fuel Oil at Panama Canal Storehouses.

In the issue of The Panama Canal Record for October 20, 1926,

the price of fuel oil to individuals and companies was erroneously

quoted at SI. 50 per barrel of 42 gallons. At the Panama Canal store-

houses, the price of fuel oil on sales to indi\'iduals and companies is

$2 per barrel of 42 gallons and this price should ha\e been quoted in

the issue of October 20 last.


The Panama Railroad Compan\-. a New York corporation, of whichthe stock is now owned by the United States Government, will ware-

house" for orders" at its piers and warehouses at Balboa and Cristobal,




Co., Balboa Heights, C. Z., or 24 State Street. New York City.








Cargo stored for orders can b^ reforwarded from the Isthmus—each carrier to col-

lect its proportion of the through rate instead of the local. .This means that should a



say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarri°r's proportion of the through

rate. Upon evidence that the sliipmcnt or any part of it moved beyond the Canal

Zone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between the through and local rate.




outward local.




Following are proposed dates of sailings of passenger vessels in the New York-

Cristobal service of the Panama Railroad Steamship Line, in which the steamers

Ancon and Cristobal are engaged, sailing alternately:

Notice to Mariners.

The Panama Canal, Executive Department,

Balboa HEiGHTSr C. Z., November 13, 1926.

The following is quoted from the Hydrographic Bulletin of November 3

:

NICARAGUA.

Corinto Harbor, buoyage, depths.—^The U. S. S. Tulsa has made a thorough investi-

gation of Corinto Harbor and reports as follows:

Black buoy No. 1 is moored 335 yards, 70° from Cardon Head lighthouse, in 27

feet of water.Black buoy No. 3 is moored 735 yards, 112° 30' from Cardon Head lighthouse, in

26 feet of water. The 16-foot shoal 675 yards, 105° from Cardon Head lighthouse onH. O. chart No. 2604, could not be found. A depth of 19 feet was obtained in this

locahty.Red buoy No. 4 is moored 1,175 yards, 126° 10' from Cardon Head lighthouse, in

17 feet of water.Red buoy No. 6 is moored 1,730 yards, 116° 15' from Cardon Head lighthouse, in 15

feet of water.Red buoy No. 8 is moored 2,245 yards, 96° 40' from Cardon Head lighthouse, in 22

feet of water.The white beacon near the landing stage is located 550 yards, 140° 30' from Cardon

Head lighthouse. There are three rocks awash at low water within a radius of 15 feet

from this beacon. There are no rocks awash on the 9-foot shoal northward of this

beacon, and a least depth of 9 feet was found in that locality.

The beacon bearing 264° from the church is in the position shown on the chart but

is approximately 400 feet from the low-water line. This bank is apparently extending

to the westward.The Mount Dona Paula Range beacons are in position as charted.

It is believed that the banks marked by buoys 4, 6, and 8 are gradually extending,

due to the heavy surf and the current through False Channel.Soundings along the eastern side of Pacific Commercial Company's dock at low

water show 26 feet at the southern end, gradually decreasing to 22 feet at the middleof the dock and increasing to 31 feet at the northern end. Soundings along the north-

east face of the dock, at low water, show 31 feet at the southeast end, gradually

decreasing to 13 feet at a point 215 feet from the bend, from which point the depthsdecrease rapidly.



United States Intercoastal Traffic by Commodities for October, 1926.

The following table shows the amount of cargo carried through theCanal in the United States intercoastal trade, segregated by commodi-ties and direction, with the totals, and the totals for October, 1925,

and 1924. Cargo statistics are compiled from cargo declarations sub-mitted by masters of vessels, and in these declarations small items arefrequently grouped under the designation of "General Cargo." Thesestatistics are accordingly not precise but they are indicative of thekind and quantity of the cargo in transit through the Canal. Thefigures represent tons of 2,240 pounds and are for the United Statesintercoastal trade only:

All of the Panama Canal notices to mariners, notices to steamship lines, and general circulars ofinterest to shipping in its relation to the Canal are published in The Pan.\ma C.\n.\l Record. Forthis reason it is considered unnecessary to make a separate general distribution away from the Isthmusof such notices and circulars to those receiving The Panama C.\nal Record. Shipping interests

are advised to look for them in this paper, which is supplied to them without charge.

Telegraphic Communication.Telegraphic communication between tiie Isthmus and the rest of the world is

handled by the All-America Cables, Inc., the Naval radio system, and the radio

system of the United Fruit Co.The Naval radio sj'stem is used for Government communication with the United

States; and for messages to or from ships, on both Government and commercialbusiness. The only land areas to which it handles commercial messages are those

sections of the Republic of Panama contiguous with the outlying radio stations at

La Palma and Puerto Obaldia, stations in Colombia reached through the radio

station at Cartagena, the radio stations in the Caribbean area ojKJrated by the

United Fruit Company, and the government stations at Bluefields, Nicaragua, andBelize, British Honduras.With the rest of the world, away from the Isthmus, the means of telegraphic com-

munication are the system of the All America Cables and its connections, and theUnited Fruit Company's radio system.The Naval radio will also accept messages in connection with the United Fruit

Comixiny's stations at Bocas del Toro, R. P., Port Limon, Costa Rica; as well as

messages for Bluefields, Nicaragua, and Belize (British Government station).

LAND TELEGRAPH ON THE ISTHMUS.

For both the Naval radio service and the cable lines, messages may be filed in anyoffice of the Panama Railroad's railway telegraphic system or of the National Tele-

graphs of the Republic of Panama. When this is done the local telegraph service

collects a charge for local transmission which is in addition to the regular radio or

cable rates as levied on messages filed at the radio stations or cable offices. This

charge is at the rate of 2 cents a word for the first 10 words and 1 cent a word for

additional words above 10, the minimum being 20 cents for any message so handled.

If a message be filed through the Panama Railroad or Panama National telegraph

offices, their transmission charges must be reckoned as in addition to the radio andcable rates as given below.


NAVAL RADIO RATES.

The rates on commercial business sent or received through the Naval radio

stations (Balboa, Colon, or Cape Mala) are as follows:

DEFERRED AND WEEK-END LETTER RATES.

In connection with the rates quoted above for the All-America Cables, the manageron the Isthmus has furnished the following regarding rates on deferred messages andweek-end 1 ;tters

:

^'There is at present in force from the Isthmus of Panama, a deferred cable ratewhich, with some exceptions, is just half of the ordinary commercial cable rate.

This rate is in force to practically all parts of the world, including Central and SouthAmerica. Full paid commercial traffic naturally has precedence over deferred ratetraffic. The latter, however, in no instance can be delayed for more than 24 hours,after which time it takes equal turn with full paid commercial traffic.

"We give from the Isthmus of Panama, a very excellent deferred service. Ourfacilities are such that we are able to give this traffic practically as good a turn ascommercial traffic. That, however, only applies in so far as the Isthmus of Panamais concerned."The week-end letter rate can be used only on messages forwarded over the

week-end. Such messages, however, may be filed at any time during the week butare not transmitted until Saturday, and are prepared for delivery with the openingof business Monday morning. Such messages can only be sent to offices of thiscompany, registered code addresses being permitted at the sender's risk. We will alsoaccept these messages for points beyond our lines providing postal address is entirelyclear to enable us to mail from our nearest office.

"The messages must be written in plain language of the country of origin ordestination, code not being admissible. Numbers, except in addresses, must bewritten in words. The use of more than one language in the same message is notpermitted.The rates in effect at present for transmission by the cables of the All-America

Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report covering operations of ThePanama Canal during the month of (X^tobcr, 1926:

NUMBER OF TRANSITS.

During the month, 445 commercial vessels transited the Canal. In addition to

these, 19 small nonseagoing launches measuring under 20 tons, and 25 vessels belong-

ing to or chartered by the United States Covernment, transited the Canal. Therewas also one transit of a vessel solely for repairs on which no tolls were collected, mak-ing the total transits for the month, 490, or a daily average on all transits of 15.8.

Tolls on the 445 commercial vessels amounted to $1,989,213.93, and on the launches

to $124.56, making the total tolls collections for the month 81,989,338.49, or a daily

average on all traffic of $64,172.21. The average amount of tolls paid by each of the

commercial transits was $4,470.14, as compared with $4,528.31 for the month of

At present, tolls are collected at rates of $1.29 per ton for laden vessels and $0.72

per ton for vessels in ballast, computed on the basis of The Panama Canal rules of

measurement, with the provision that tolls shall not exceed $1.25 per ton nor be less

than $0.75 per ton as determined in accordance with the United States rules for the

measurement of net registered tonnage. In order to ascertain the proper tolls charges,

it is necessary, therefore, that the net tonnage of vessels transiting the Canal be

determined both in accordance with The Panama Canal and the United States rules

of measurement.Taking the traffic through the Canal for the month of October, 1926, the following

tabulation shows a comparison of tolls actually collected under the present method of

assessing tolls and the tolls that would have been collected on the basis of The PanamaCanal rules of measurement at the proposed rates of $1 laden and $0.60 ballast, with

SEISMOLOGY.

Seismic disturbances were recorded on the 1st, 3d, 19th, 25th, and 26th.


In addition to the usual operating and maintenance work performed by this division,

electrical installation and repair work was made on 28 vessels during the month.There were 351 work orders issued during October, as compared with 380 work orders.issued during the month of September, 1926.


During the month miscellaneous repairs were made on 80 vessels at Cristobaland 31 at Balboa.

Repair work to the five vessels of the Peruvian whaling fleet was completed duringthe month and the ships returned to service. It is interesting to note that this was the.largest number of vessels belonging to one concern under repairs at any one timesince commercial vessel repair work was started.



DREDGING DIVISION.

On the 6th of the month at 1.30 a. m., a slide occurred at East Culebra whichinfluenced the Canal channel from station 1770 to 1793. Generally speaking, the toe

of the slide reached the Canal axis but between stations 1774 and 1778 and stations

1791 and 1796 it met the west bank. The shoaling on the west side of the channel,

however, was not enough to cause apprehension in so far as shipping was concernedexcept stations 1792 and 1793 near the center line where a drag survey disclosed ashoal of 37 feet. This shoal was removed prior to starting shipping on the morning of

the 6th.

The new slide at East Culebra involves the entire area covered by the old slide withslight additions at the back center between stations 1780 and 1783, approximately'three acres, and at the northeast corner of Gold Hill or the southwest end of the old

slide involving an area of approximately five acres.

An average drop of 40 feet occurred along the back rim of the slide, varjdng from20 feet at the extreme north end to 30 feet on the east side to 75 feet on the southend of the slide. By the end of the month this drop had increased almost uniformlyto a depth of 10 feet over those mentioned above.

Conforming to previous behavior of the slide action in this area, there was a vertical

drop at the back of the slide, along the fault line, accompanied by an upheaval in

front and toward the Canal and these undulations were carried forward to the waterfront. By the morning of the 6th the greater portion of all these depressions were full

of water caused by seepage and heavy torrential rains.

The general movement of this slide toward the Canal continued until the morningof the 8th, after which only a very slight settlement was observed. It might be of

-interest to note that the southern portion of this slide, adjacent to Gold Hill, had been


quiescent since 1917. The movement in this section, however, was possibly influencedby that in adjacent areas. This movement was toward the basin and not perpendicularto the Canal axis.

The slide is attributed to the unusually heavy torrential rains which we haveexperienced this year at the Continental Divide which thoroughly soaked up theentire superimposed mass resting on the submerged section and which also aggravatedthe already bad seepage conditions by an excessive accumulation of water in theundrained portions of Lirio Lagoon immediately behind the slide. The fault linearound the entire rim of the slide, now sharply defined, indicates that the entireweight of this mass within the limits of the break has broken free and is resting on orsupported by the submerged section. It has been impracticable to close peripheralcracks which have appeared since the last slide in this section by grading until drainageconditions behind are finished and no doubt this bad seepage condition has aidedgreatly in lubricating the fault plane while in its heavy, soggy condition. A slightupheaval in the center of the Canal was experienced between stations 1786 and 1793on two different occasions after the East side of the prism had been brought to grade,making additional clean-up work necessary in this section as a consequence. Thismovement has been slight in comparison to the action experienced in previous slides,

however, and much slower but serves to bear out the Goethals' theory that the faultplane of the East and West Culebra slides meet below the Canal prism grade line.

It might also be repeated that at no time has there been a movement in the bottomthat a simultaneous movement has not been noted in the bank.

It is estimated that 250,000 cubic yards of material were brought into the navigablechannel and an additional 250,000 cubic yards were caught in the basin at the foot ofthe slide. It is further estimated that 1,250,000 cubic yards of material nuist beremoved before full channel widths and depths are restored, together with normaldepths in the basin area. Approximately 5,000,000 cubic yards of material were in

riiotion.

Two dipper dredges, working on a 3-shift basis, have been working continuouslyon this slide since the 6th of October. By the end of the month a total of 401,000cubic yards of material had been removed.

It will be observed in connection with this slide that the basin created at thebase prevented a closure of the channel as it did once before.A slide occurred at East Lirio at 3 a. m. on the 13th between stations 1719 and 1723,

carrying 50,000 cubic yards into the Canal prism for a distance of 50 feet. One of thedipper dredges operating at East Culebra was at once dispatched to this slide,

removing 15,550 cubic yards of material, which provided suitable depths and widthsat this point for the time being.The lower detached portions of the West Lirio slide showed a settlement and

mo\ement toward the Canal about the 15th of the month. The dredge Paraisoremoved 17,000 cubic yards from this slide during the month.There were several small bank breaks throughout the Cut. Only those were

cleaned up, however, which pro\ed to be a menace to navigation. There was nointerference with Canal traffic during the month.The total excavation during the month was 753,810 cubic yards as follows:

Facilities for Shipping.The Panama Canal is equipped with all the facilities for the fueling, supply, and repair of ships


1,500 tons an hour, practically as fast as it can be handled in ships' bunkers. Oil can be delivered

as fast as the ships can take it, from 30 tanks aggregating approximately 3,536,500 barrels of storagecapacity. Crude fuel oil, Diesel oil, and gasoline are sold.

The ships' chandlery storehouses carry a wide variety of marine supplies and spare parts. Thecommissary stores sell foodstuffs, fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as clothing and a generalline of goods for supplying about 30,000 people resident on the Isthmus. Ice plants, a large laundry,hotels, hospitals, and restaurants serve the passengers and crews of ships.

A 1 ,000-foot dry dock, capable of receiving the largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating cranea,

foundry, and amply equipped shopw, employing about 1,100 men, provide the means of making prac-

tically any kind of marine repairs.

In general, the services to shipping at the Canal are such as have been developed and found ample•nd effective in the course of handling large traffic through the Canal in over 1 1 yeare of operation.

Canal Traffic During November, 1926.

During the month of November, 1926, 428 commercial vessels and19 small launches transited the Canal. Tolls on the commercial vesselsaggregated Si, 889,001. 11, and on the launches $102.48, or a total tollscollection of s$l,889,103.59.

The daily average number of transits of seagoing vessels for themonth was 14.26, and the daily average tolls collection $62,966.70.The average amount of tolls paid by each of the commercial transitswas $4,413.55, as compared with $4,470.14 for the month of October.The daily average number of transits and tolls collections for the

past month were the lowest since June of this year. The coal strikein Great Britain has had considerable bearing on the decrease in Canaltraffic recently. Many vessels that would otherwise be engaged intransporting commodities from the Pacific coast to United States andEuropean ports, have been diverted to the transporting of coal.

In the following tabulation the number of commercial transits andthe amount of tolls collected are shown for the first 11 months of thecurrent calendar year, with the daily average of transits and tolls:

Transit of Steamer "Orbita" in European-South American Service.

The passenger-cargo steamer Orhita, owned and operated by the

Pacific Steam Navigation Company, transited the Canal on Friday,

November 26, en route from Liverpool to \^alparaiso, Chile, havingrecently been added to the South American service after a general over-

haul and reconditioning preparatory for tropical service. The Orhita,

which was formerly on the Southampton-New York run, is 550.3

feet long, with a beam of 67.3 feet; she has a net tonnage, PanamaCanal measurement, of 11,677. Tolls, based on a United States net

tonnage of 8,977, were vSl 1,221.25.

In January, the Orbita will be followed by the Orduria, also formerlyused in the Southampton-New York service. The proposed itinerary

of the Ordtina on her maiden voyage in the South American service

will be a cruise which will encircle the continent with stops at Rio deJanerio, Santos, Montevideo, Port Stanley, Punta Arenas (Straits of

Magellan), and west coast ports, making the transit of the Canal onher return voyage on March 4, en route to Habana, Spain, France,and Li\erpool.

Construction of Diesel Electric Tugs.

Two all-steel Diesel electric towboals, 125 feet long, 28 foot beam,and approximately 14^ foot draft, 750 shaft horsepower, are now beingbuilt in Balboa Shops by the Mechanical Di\ision. The design of the

hulls is complete and fabrication of material is now in process in the

shops. It is hoped to be able to lay the keels of these boats at the begin-

ning of the coming dry season, and to launch them not later than the

first of May, 1927.

These two boats ha\e been designed primarily as seagoing craft,

although the major part of the duty of the boats will, no doubt, be in

Canal Zone waters.

Living accommodations are provided for six "gold" or Americanmen and 24 "silver" or tropical employees. One tug, for the present,

is being equipped with the latest radio equipment. Each boat is being

equipped with very powerful electric towing machines, equi\alent in

capacity and size to that of the largest steam tugs.

Two definite steps in ad\ancement of towboat design have beenincluded in the design of these hulls. The first of these is the installation

of bulkheads and double bottoms as necessary, in order to make the tug

a one compartment ship; that is to say, it will be possible for the tug

to remain afloat with one of her main compartments bilged. The secondchange in design is the cutting away of the deadwood aft and installing

a simple casting in the way thereof. This is expected to improve the

handling qualities of these large tugs a great deal. It is probable that,

regardless of the length of these two boats, the>' will be just as liand>"

as are the smaller harbor tugs now employed on the Canal.

The main jiropelling machinery has been piwchased and is now bein^^

manufactured .by \'arious companies in the United States, for delivery

on the Canal Zone not later than May 1, 1927. This machinery is, in

summary, as follows: Each tug will be fitted with two 4-cycle mechani-cal injection Diesel engines, each driving a direct-connected 330-K\\'

direct-current 250-\oll generator and on an extension shaft a 50-KWdirect-current exciter. The two main generators will, operating in

series, drive a double armature 750-horsepower direct-current motor.This motor will be direct-connected to a single propeller approximately


10 feet 6 inches in diameter, designed to turn from 115 to 140 revolu-

tions per minute when developing full power. All auxiliaries will bedriven from the power de\eloped by the two exciters when the mainengines are in operation.

As auxiliary power each tug will be equipped with a 10-KW gener-

ator, driven by a direct-connected 25-horsepower 4-cycle solid injec-

tion Diesel engine. An air compressor of suitable size can be drivenon an extension of the auxiliary generator shaft through a clutch. Anindependent compressor, motor-driven, will be installed in each boat.The motor for this compressor is to be automatically controlled fromthe air pressure in the starting air tanks of the main engines, whichwill insure maximum pressure for the starting air being a\'ailable con-tinuously.

Each tug will be equipped with a motor-driven centrifugal fire pump,capacity of which is 1,000 gallons per minute at 100 pounds pressure.

It is intended to equip the tugs so that this pump may be used as a

salvage pump as well. Lighting circuit and power for the ice machinemotor and sanitary pump motor are taken from 125-volt mains. Thisvoltage is obtained by stepping down exciter voltage through a motorgenerator. Each tug is equipped with a second motor generator whichwill convert the 25-cycle 230-volt current Canal Zone to 125-volt

direct current, for use on the tugs. This will permit the tugs, whilelying at dock, to enjoy the comforts of lights, sanitary system, andrefrigeration without running any machinery aboard the tug.

The fuel oil capacity of each tug is sufficient to give at least 21 days'cruising radius operating at full power.

Preliminary Trial of Diesel Engines.

Preliminary trial of one of the three 3,750-horsepower Diesel engines

being installed at the Miraflores electric plant was made on December3, 1926. Some minor adjustments will be necessary but on the whole the

engines will be made before placing them in actual service.

Each of the three engines with its generator and auxiliaries forms a

complete unit with a length of 60 feet and a weight of 815,000 pounds.

The engines are of 2-cyde, 6-cylinder type, each cylinder having a

bore of 29 inches, a stroke of 44 inches, and operating at a speed of 125-

revolutions per minute. This station is said to be the largest of its kind,"

in the western hemisphere. ;•

The Panama Canal, Panama Railro.vd Company,

ExECiTivE Office, Balboa Heights, C. Z., November 2, 1926.

Item 5.

—

Tugs, Supply Boats, and Launches.

1. Steamship tourist agents have at various times requested The F'anama Canafto make a reduction in the regular hourly rates for the use of tugs and launchesfor tourist excursions to points of interest in Canal Zone waters, and along theAtlantic and Pacific Coasts, such as Fort San Lorenzo, Porto Bello, San Bias,

and Pearl Islands, and for flat rates per day or per trip, according to the length

of lime and'or the number of passengers.

2. Tugs and launches are primarily maintained for use in connection with the transit

of vessels through the Canal and for ordinary harbor work, and The PanamaCanal can not guarantee the availability of such equipment for tourist excursions

considerably in advance. Neither is it in position to name flat rates per day or

per trip.

3. Effective at once:(a) When such trips require the use of equipment for periods of twelve (12)

hours or less, a reduction of 25 per cent in the hourly rate will be made for

all idle time due to passengers being on shore at points to be visited. Therewill be no reduction for a fraction of an hour.

(b) When such trips extend over twelve (12) hours, a reduction of 25 per cent

will be made for each full hour over the first twelve (12), in addition to the

reduction of 25 per cent for idle time during the first twelve (12) hours.

(c) If the tug Favorite is used, the rate will be same as for large tugs in Paragraph1 of Item 5, without making the additional charge provided for trips to

sea covered in Paragraph 4 of Item 5.

(d) The rates for the new tug Coco Solo No. 2 will be $15 for the first hour or

fraction thereof and $3.75 for each su;ceeding quarter hour or fraction

thereof.

Reductions in (a) and {b) apply to (c) and id).

4. Information regarding equipment which may be available for '^uch trips, numberof passengers, etc., may be obtained from the Marine Superintendent.

—

Stevedoring and Transferring Cargo.

" •"•' ' (Effective November 10, 1926.)

Paragraph 25 (Canceling Paragraph 25 and 26, Page 41, Tariff 8)

:

Bananas or other native produce may be delivered to ocean-going vessels in GatunLake or in Canal Zone harbors by small coasting craft, upon payment of a right

of basin charge of $0.50 per ton for cargo handled in Balboa and Cristobal

harbors, and $0.25 per ton for cargo loaded in Gatun Lake.Vessels receiving cargo in this manner shall notify the Receiving and Forwarding

Agent, Panama Railroad Company, of amount so handled, either by copy of mani-fest, or letter.

Under no circumstances, however, will vessels be permitted to transfer cargo direct

from one to the other in Canal Zone waters, away from the piers, unless there is

. no berthing space available at the piers.

Paragraph 26 (Taking place of canceled Paragraph 26, Page 41 , Tariff 8 ).

When one vessel is allowed to lie alongside another vessel at the piers or in CanalZone water away from the piers, when no berthing space is available, requests

to transfer cargo from one directly into the other, will be acted upon in each case

by the Go\ ernor. The Panama Canal, and each request will be considered solely

on its merits. The decision in any one case, in no way sets a precedent for future

cases. For general cargo transferred direct from vessel to vessel where no workis performed by The Panama Canal or Panama Railroad Company, the charge

shall be, per ton $1.00

Ocean-going vessels transferring cargo under the provisions of this paragraph,

shall furnish the Panama Railroad Company with complete manifests covering

all cargo transferred, in order that complete statistical records may be kept as to

cargo transhipped at the Isthmus, and permit a Panama Railroad representative

. to be present during such transfer.

The Panama Railroad Company, a New York corporation, of whichthe stock is now owned by the United States Government, will ware-house " for orders" at its piers and warehouses at Balboa and Cristobal,Canal Zone, nonperishable and nondangerous merchandise, exceptingalcoholic liquors. An illustrated pamphlet explaining in detail thearrangement may be had upon application to the Panama RailroadCo., Balboa Heights, C. Z., or 24 State Street,, New York City.On general merchandise the rates are as follows:{a) For handling cargo from ship's side to storage place, the customary inward

local charge of $1 per ton.(b) For delivery or reforwarding, customary outward local charge of $1 per ton.



feet by 850 feet, at Cristobal, and in one of the same dimensions at Balboa.Cargo stored for orders can bs reforwarded from the Isthmus—each carrier to col-

lect its proportion of the through rate instead of the local. This means that should ashipment move from New York to the Canal Zone, it will of course pay regular localrate to Balboa or Colon, as the case may be—but should owner wish to reforward to,

say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarri°r's proportion of the throughrate. Upon evidence that the shipment or any part of it moved beyond the CanalZone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between the through and local rate.There are no special forms for use in shipping except the warehouseman's order to

release the cargo for shipment ("Authority to Deliver Cargo from Storage on Piers").Shipper takes out his bill of lading and consular invoice and the cargo moves as regularoutward local.

of such notices and circulars to those receiving The Panama Canal Record. Shipping interests

are advised to look for them in this paper, which is supplied to them without diarge.

Tire PANAMA CANAL RECORD 257

United States Intercoastal Traffic by Commodities for November, 1926.

The following table shows the amount of cargo carried through the

Canal in the United States intercoastal trade, segregated by commodi-

ties and direction, with the totals, and the totals for November, 1925,

and 1924. Cargo statistics are compiled from cargo declarations

submitted by masters of vessels, and in these declarations small items

are frequently grouped under the design4tion of "General Cargo."

These statistics are accordingly not precise but they are indicative of

the kinds and quantity of the cargo in transit through the Canal.

The figures represent tons of 2,240 pounds and are for the United States

intercoastal trade only:

East Culebra Slide.

Emergency operations on removal of slide material from the EastCulebra area, which began October 6, 1926, were discontinued Decem-ber 16, when one dipper dredge was returned to its regular station

in the Pacific entrance and the other assigned to the remaining clean-

up work at the slide (channel and basin).

In addition to the extensive movement at East Culebra several

smaller breaks occurred in other portions of the cut, the removal of

which had to be accomplished simultaneously with the work at EastCulebra. During this period of intense dredging, October 7 to De-^cember 16, the total quantity of material removed from all slides

was 1,050,050 cubic 3^ards, of which 931,800 was from East Culebraand 118,250 cubic yards from other slides.

Although the East Culebra basin and adjacent Canal channel havebeen restored to approximately previous widths and depths, there still

remains a comparatively small amount of clean-up dredging in this

area and the final total yardage from the East Culebra slide of October6 will exceed 1,000,000 cubic yards.

278 THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD-

This slide was the worst for several years, though at no time closurg-

the Canal to na\igation. It was sufticiently threatening, howe\er>to cause the operation of dredging equipment for 24 hours per dayincluding Sundays and holidays for about a month and for 24 hoursper da\-, exclusive of Sundays and holidays, for another month.

The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company Reported Acquiring LargeTonnage.

. Shipping journals report the sale of 44 vessels with an aggregate gross

tonnage of 597,458 tons by the International Mercantile Marine andallied lines to The Royal Mail Steam Packet Co. for a consideration of

$36,525,000. This is said to be the largest shipping transaction in

history and to bring the total tonnage controlled by the Royal Mailup to 2,695,265 gross tons.

In addition to several other famous transatlantic liners there are

three of the nine world's largest commercial vessels in the 44 due to beturned over to the Royal Mail on January 1, 1927. They are the

Majestic, 56,551 tons, which disputes with the Leviathan the title of

the world's largest ship; the Olympic, 46,439 tons, fourth; and the

Homeric, 34,351 tons, seventh.In connection with this matter the General Agent of the Royal Mail

Steam Packet Co., at Cristobal, advises that no immediate effect on the

serxices through the Panama Canal is contemplated. He furnishes

in addition the following notes:

"The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company was incorporated in 1839 and a matterof 15 years ago acquired the Pacific Steam Navigation Company which was incorpo-

rated in 1840. Until the opening of the Canal the former had its Isthmian headquartersat Colon and the latter at Panama.

"In 1846 the R. M.S. P. organized transit by mules and canoes across the Isthmus,opening up the route via Colon and Panama to Pacific ports. The following yearthrough booking, arrangements were made with the Pacific Steam Navigation Co. andthe Panama Railroad Co. for traffic from England to Soutli Pacific ports.

"In 1850 the R. M. S. P. assisted the Panama Railroad Co. by loaning themS125,000 towards the completion of the railroad across the Isthmus, the last rail of

which was laid on January 27, 1855.

"On February 23, 1881, the first detachment of the French Canal employeesengaged in Europe for work on the Isthmus arrived at Colon by the R. M. S. Para."

Large Vessels Being Built for United States Intercoastal Trade.

The Panama-Pacific Line has under construction at Newport News,Va., a new passenger and freight liner for the United States intercoastal

service to be named the California. This vessel is said to be the largest

commercial vessel yet built in America and the first vessel of her class

to be equipped with turbo-electric machinery. Accomodations are

being provided for 334 first-class and 363 tourist-class passengers.

There will also be capacity for 8,000 tons of freight, including large

refrigerated and air-cooled spaces for perishable products.

The California is to be launched in July of 1927 and her first sailing

in United States intercoastal service is expected to be from New Yorkthe latter part of October, 1927. It is planned to build two more similar

vessels for the same service, the total cost of the three to be around$21,000,000.


The Panama Canal Commissary Division, with facilities at Balboa and Cristobalfor delivery of supplies to steamships, carries a complete line of provisions, such asmeats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, bytter, canned goods, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco,etc., which are sold to ships at the prices which are in effect for employees, no sur-

Fhe Panama Canal is equipped with all the facilities for the fueling, supply, and repair of shipswhich are found in modern ports.The coaling plants, with an aggregate storage capacity of 700,000 tons, can bunker ships up to

1.500 tons an hour, practically as fast as it can be handled in ships' bunkers. Oil can be deliveredas fast as the ships can take it, from 30 tanks aggregating approximately 3,536,500 barrels of storagecapacity. Crude fuel oil, Diesel oil, and gasoline are sold.


A 1.000-foot dry dock, capable of receiving the largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating cranes,foundry, and amply equipped shops, employing about 1,100 men. provide the means of making prac-tically any kind of marine repairs.

In general, the services to shipping at the Canal are such as have been developed and found ampleand eflective in the course of handlinK large trafiSc through the Canal in over 1 1 years of operation.

Masters may obtain from the office of the Captain oi the Port,

at either Cristobal or Balboa, without charge, the "Rules and Regu-lations Governing Navigation of The Panama Canal and AdjacentWaters," and the current Tariff ol charges at the Canal for supplies

and services.

Requests for Canal publications sent by mail should be addressed to;



The Hydrographic Oihce at Cristobal maintains at all times a com-plete stock of navigational charts and books, including charts of all

Cargo Shipped Through the Panama Canal in Calendar Year 1926,

Establishes New Record.

The total quantity of cargo shipped through the Panama Canal in

thecalendar year 1926, was 27,586,051 long tons. This was an increase

of 16.4 per cent over the cargo tonnage for the preceding calendar yearand was the largest for any 12-month period since the opening of the

Canal to trafhc. The previous high record was 26,994,710 tons, in the

fiscal year 1924.

The above cargo was carried by vessels making 5,420 transits andpaying $23,901,540.04 in tolls, with a Panama Canal net tonnage of

25,836,241.

A statement of traffic by nationalities of vessels for the calendar

year 1926, will be published in the issue of January 19.

Overhaul of Gatun Locks.

Work on the overhaul of the locks at Gatun will commence on Janu-ary 17, 1927, and be completed in about 3 months. In addition

to the routine'overhaul of gates, valves, and underwater parts, the pro-

gram includes the installation of 40 new cylindrical valves to replace

those which have been in use since the completion of the Canal.

These new valves have been constructed from an improved design.

The wearing surfaces are of bronze and can be removed when worn,thus avoiding the necessity for replacing the entire valve as in the old

design. Twenty of these valves were manufactured by the MechanicalDivision of The Panama Canal and 20 were procured from the UnitedStates.

Plans and schedules for the w'ork call for its completion in about 80working days with an addition to the force at the locks of 95 gold and600 silver men. Of the gold force, 18 machinists, 4 towing locomotive

operators, and 2 steam engineers were employed in the United States,

most of the remainder being secured from other departments anddivisions with a few employments on the Isthmus. All of the silver

force was recruited locally. This force will be cared for in bachelor

quarters at Cristobal and will be transported to and from the work in

labor trains.

During the overhaul period first one side of the locks will be out of

commission and then the other. The side in use will be in service 24

hours per day, with two operating crews from 7 a. m. to 11 p. m., andwith one crew from 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. This schedule, combined with

the anchorage in Gatun Lake at the south end of the locks, is expected

to take care of the traffic, which is usually heavy at this time of the

year and will include the United States Battle Fleet during the over-

haul period, with little or no delay.


Two shifts of 8 hours each will be worked per day on the overhaulwith three shifts of 8 hours each on the delaying items, i. e., those whichdetermine the date of completion, with no work on Sundays and holi-

days. The estimated number of working da\s required is 41 for theside first unwatered, 4 to 6 days to shift over, and 35 to complete theother wide, 80 to 82 working days, or approximately 3 months in all.

This is the last lock overhaul planned until the spring of 1929,when Pedro Miguel and Mirafiores will be overhauled.

Death of £. A. Drake.

The Panama Canal, Executive Department,B.\LBOA Heights, C. Z., January 6, 1927.

To all concerned.— It becomes niy duty to announce, with great sorrow and regret,

the death of Mr. E. A. Drake, Vice President and Member of the Board of Directorsof the Panama Railroad and Steamship Line, which occurred in New York on Janu-ary 5.

The span of Mr. Drake's service with the Panama Railroad of nearly 40 years is

inspiring in retrospect. Despite the physical infirmities with which he has beensuffering for some time, he continued faithful to the last, the paralytic stroke from theeffects of which he died having occurred immediately after he had attended a recentdirectors' meeting.The officers of the company extend their sincere sympathy to the family in their

bereavement. There is for all of those with whom he has been associated a deepsense of personal and official loss in the realization that his death removes one who hasbeen long connected with the administration of the Panama Railroad.As a mark of respect to Mr. Drake's memory, it is ordered that on the day of the

funeral, the date of which will be announced later, the flags on all public buildings andequipment of The Panama Canal and Panama I^ailroad shall be flown at half-mastuntil sunset.

During the past two calendar years over 91 per cent of the total

commercial transits of the Canal were vessels of 8 nationalities andthese vessels carried over 95 per cent of the total cargo in transit through

the Canal. These nationalities were, in the order of number of their

transits during the calendar year 1926, United States, British, Norwe-gian, German, Japanese, French, Dutch, and Swedish. With the

exception of a decrease of 12 transits for Japanese, and 1,323 long

tons of cargo for Dutch vessels, all of these nationalities show con-

siderable increases in both transits and cargo in 1926, as comparedwith 1925. The actual figures are given in the following tabulation:

As regards total commercial transits and total tons of cargo in transit

the calendar year 1926 was the largest in the history of the PanamaCanal to date. Hence for some of the nationalities the percentage of

the total traffic declined in 1926, as compared with 1925, in the face of

a gain in absolute quantities.

Smallest day's commercial traffic occurred on November 18, 1924,

on which the number of transits was 2; Panama Canal net tonnage,

2,870; tolls, $2,865.00; and cargo, 2,809 tons.

In the above, the term "commercial traffic" is used to include all

craft subject to the payment of tolls, exclusive of small vessels under20 tons. It also excludes public vessels in the service of the Govern-ments of the United States, Panama, and Colombia, which are allov/ed

free transit.

The lowest pro rata cost of tolls per ton of cargo carried through theCanal on a commercial vessel is S0.2186 per ton, which occurred withthe transits of the Swedish motor ship Amerikaland, on September 6,

1926, and October 26, 1926, carrying cargoes of iron ore from CruzGrande, Chile, to Baltimore, Md. On both transits the Amerikalandcarried 21,400 tons of cargo and paid tolls of $4,678.75.

The Consular officers of the United States at seaports all over the world are ex officio representativesof The Panama Canal for the purpose of furnishing information to shipping and allied interests as to

conditions, charges, etc., at the Panama Canal affecting the operation of ships. The current publicationsofThe Panama Canal of interest to shipping are furnished to the Consular officers and filed for reference.

It is not desired that infjuiries of a general nature be addressed to the Consular officers, or that theybe burdened with retjuests which should be made direct to The Panama Canal ; but ships' operators whomay not be sufficiently advised as to charges, supplies, facilities, etc.. at the Canal will often save timeby applying to the nearest American Consul.

The Honorable, the Secretary of War,Washington, D. C.

Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report covering operations of ThePanama Canal during the month of December, 1926. In it have been incorporated

summaries of the traffic through the Canal during the past calendar year.

TR.\FFIC^OR CALENDAR YEAR 1926.

Commercial transits for the year ending December 31, 1926, aggregated 5,420,

as compared with 4,774 for the calendar year 1925, and 4,89,1 for the calendar year1924. The calendar year 1926 established a new high record for number of commer-cial transits, as compared with the previous record of 5,230 for the fiscal year ending

June 30, 1924.

In addition to the 5,420 commercial vessels, 544 noncommercial ships, principally

United States Army and Navy vessels, and 155 small nonseagoing launches transited

the Canal, making the total number of transits for the calendar year, 6,119.

Cargo shipped through the Canal during 1926 set a new high figure for a year's

traffic, 27,586,051 tons, as compared with the previous record of 26,994,710 tons

for the fiscal year 1924.

The following tabulation gives a ready comparison of the number of vessels,

Panama Canal net tonnage, tolls, and tons of cargo passing through the Canal dur-

At present, tolls are collected at rates of SI. 20 per ton for laden vessels and SO. 72

per ton for vessels in ballast, computed on the basis of The Panama Canal rules of

measurement, with the provision that tolls shall not e.xc^ed SI.25 per ton nor beless than $0.75 per ton as determined in accordance with the United States rules for

the measurement of net registered tonnage. In order to ascertain the proper tolls

charges, it is necessary, therefore, that the net tonnage of vessels transiting the Canalbe determined both in accordance with The Panama Canal and the United States

rules of measurement.Taking the traffic through the Canal for the month of December, 1926, the fol-

lowing tabulation shows a comparison of tolls actually collected under the present


method of assessing tolls and the tolls that would have been collected on the basisof The Panama Canal rules of measurement at the proposed rates of $1.00 laden and$0.60 ballast, with transits for the month segregated by flag:

There were 251 live births reported during the month, and 15 stillbirths. Includingstillbirths, this is equivalent to an annual rate of 23.55 per 1,000 population. Deathsamong children under 1 year of age number 59, giving an infant mortality rate of235.06 per 1,CC0 live births.

The total number of malaria cases reported from the Zone and the cities of Panamaand Colon during December was 56, of whom 13 were employees (2 white and 11colored), none were members of employees' families, 19 were other civilian nonem-ployees, and 24 were Army personnel. Eight of the 13 employees were probably in-fected outside our sanitated areas, as they gave a history of working, living, or havingbeen in such areas at night previous to their becoming sick.There were no deaths from malaria.The annual admission rate per 1,000 for malaria among employees of The Panama

Canal for the calendar year 1926, was 14.1, which is thfe lowest recorded since theUnited States began construction of the Panama Canal in 1904. The malaria rateamong the total population of the Canal Zone and the cities of Panama and Colon,for the calendar year 1926, has been unusually favorable, particularly on the Pacificside of the Isthmus.

The postal add R-ss is, "The- Panam.i Can.il. Kallx.M Heights, Can.il Zcmc-." or "TIr- Panama Canal,

Wasliington. D. C.". ....

Mail for ships passing through the Canal or touching at either of the terminal ports shoulcl bt

addressed to "Cristobal. Canal Zone.", ., . ,

The cable address of The Panama Canal, on the Isthmus, is "Panranal. Panama; in thr linited

States, "Pancaiial, Washington."



The Panama Railroad Company, a New York corporation, of whichthe stock is now owned by the United States Government, will ware-house "for orders" at its piers and warehouses at Balboa and Cristobal,Canal Zone, nonperishable and nondangerous merchandise, exceptingalcoholic liquors. An illustrated pamphlet explaining in detail thearrangement may be had upon application to the Panama RailroadCo., Balboa Heights, C. Z., or 24 State Street, New York City.On general merchandise the rates are as follows:

(o) For handling cargo from ship's side to storage place, the customary inwardlocal charge of $1 per ton.

(b) For delivery or reforwarding, customary outward local charge of $1 per ton.(Total of 20 cents per ton more than regular transfer charge.)

(c) For storage, 3 cents per ton per day, except that no charge will be made forthe first 35 days.The Panama Railroad Company stores this cargo in four fireproof warehouses, 160


lect its proportion of the through rate instead of the local. This means that should ashipment move from New York to the Canal Zone, it will of course pay regular localrate to Balboa or Colon, as the case may be—but should owner wish to reforward to,say, "Guayaquil," he can do so by paying the oncarrier's proportion of the throughrate. Upon evidence that the shipment or any part of it moved beyond the CanalZone, the initial carrier will refund the difference between the through and local rate.

There are no special forms for use in shipping except the warehouseman's order torelease the cargo for shipment ("Authority to Deliver Cargo from Storage on Piers)".Shipper takes out his bill of lading and consular invoice and the cargo moves as regularoutward local.

All of the Panama Canal notices to mariners, notices to steamship lines, and general circulars ofinterest to shipping in its relation to the Canal are published in The Panama Canal Record, Forthis reason it is considered unncessary to make a separate general distribution away from the Isthmusof such notices and circulars to those receiving The Pan.mia C.\nal Record. Shipping interests are:advised to look for them in this paper, which is supplied to them without charge.





and services.




l)lete stock of navigational charts and books, includingcharts of all



At the office of the Port Captain in Balboa a limited stock of navi-

gational charts, books, etc., is also carried, and this office is in a

position to fill practically any order in this connection thata ship might

place.

Copies of current issues of Pilot Charts, Notices to Mariners, and

Hydrographic Bulletins may be obtained in return for marine infor-



turnished.



The Panama Canal is eyuipped with all the facilities for the fueling, supply, and repair of ships

as fast as the ships can take it, from 30 tanks aggregating appro.ximately 3,536,500 barrels of storage

Ciipacity. Crude fuel oil, Diesel oil, and gasoline are sold. •

The ships' chandlery storehouses carry a wide variety "of marine supplies and spare parts. Thecommissary stores sell foodstuffs, fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as clothing and a general

line of goods for supplying about .W.OOO people resident on the Isthmus. Ice plants, a large laundry,


.V 1,000-foot dry dock, capable of receiving the largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating cranes,

foundry, and amply equipped shops, employing about 1,100 men, provide the means of making prac-

tically any kind of marine repairs., , j j r j i

In general, the services to shipping at the Canal are such as have been developed and found ample

and effective in the course of handling large traffic through the Canal in over 1 1 years of operation.

Volume XX. Balboa Heights, C. Z., February 2, 1927. No. 26.

Transit of British Battle Cruiser "Renown" with Duke and Duchessof York.

The British battle cruiser Renown, carrying the Duke and Duchessof York and party arrived at Cristobal, on the way to New Zealand andAustralia, at 6 a. m., January 25, 1927, and proceeded immediatelythrough the Canal. The Renoivn was escorted into the harbor by theUnited States battleship Arkansas, which had arrived at Cristobalfrom Guantanamo for the purpose on January 23, and Navy planesand from Cristobal to Gatun by Army planes.

'

At Gatun Locks the Renown was met by a party of Isthmian officialsand Army and Navy officers and the royal party disembarked in thelower level where military honors were rendered to the Duke and aninspection of the locks and spillway was made, reboarding in the upperlevel. The Renown docked at Pier 6, Balboa, at 5 p. m. In the eveningoT the 25th a reception was held at the newly completed BritishLegation in Panama, and the following day was occupied with officialcalls and addresses. The Renown sailed at 4.15 p. m., January 26for the Marquesas Islands. On January 10, the British tankshipDelphinnla passed through the Canal bound for the Marquesas with6,279 tons of fuel oil, reported to be for refueling the RenoivnThe Renown, with an over-all length of 795'feet, beam of 103 feet

and a displacement tonnage at the time of this transit of 37 000 tons'IS the second largest ship to transit the Canal, having been exceeded insize only by H. M. S. Hood, length 860 feet 7 inches, beam 105 feet 2^inches, and displacement tonnage of 44,799 tons, which made the transiton July 23 and 24, 1924. This is the third time the Renown has beenthrough the Canal; she made the transit, carrying the Prince of Walesen route to New Zealand, on March 30, 1920, and returning September13, 1920. On the two earlier transits her beam was 91i feet and herdisplacement tonnage iZ,zn. The increase in beam and tonnage isdue to torpedo protection having been built at or under the water lineAll transits, including that of the Hood, were made without especialincident though on the transit of January 25, 1927, the Renoxvn washeld back in order to have the advantage of an incoming tide in thePacific sea level channel. The clearance on either side in the lockchambers on the last transit of the Renoivn was 3^ feet and for the Hoodwas 2 feet 4f inches.

• ^"^''u "^f n°^- J^"."a^y 27, the Governor of The Panama Canal

issued the following circular to all concerned:During their recent stay in the Canal Zone Their Royal Highnesses the Duke andDuchess of York e.xpressed great admiration for the American achievement in theCanal Zone and their appreciation of the good work done in handling the Renlwnthrough the Canal and at the docks, and of the courtesies extended them while he^e

be handled in the ship's bunkers. Oil deliveries


depending on gravity of oil, location of shore



The Panama Canal is equipped with all the

facilities for the fueling, supply, and repair of

ships which are found in modern ports.

The coaling plants, with an aggregate storage

capacity of 700,000 tons, bunker ships at the

rate of from 100 to 500 tons an hour, practically

as fast as the nature of the vessel will allow. Oil

can be delivered from 30 tanks aggregating ap-

proximately 1,500,000 barrels of storage capacity,

as fast as the ships can take it. Crude fuel oil.

Diesel oil, and gasoline are sold.

The ships' chandlery storehouses carry a wide

variety of marine supplies and spare parts. Thecommissary stores sell foodstuffs, fresh meats,

fruits, and vegetables, as well as clothing and a

general line of goods for supplying about 30,000

people resident on the Isthmus. Ice plants, a

large laundry, hotels, hospitals, and restaurantsi

serve the passengers and crews of ships.

A salvage service operated by the Canal is

available for prompt assistance to vessels within

a radius of a thousand miles of the Canal, or

farther if required. Seagoing tugs or a wrecking

tug with requisite equipment are dispatched onshort notice.

. .

A 1,000-foot dry dock, capable of receiving the

largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating

cranes, foundry, and amply equipped shops,

employing about 1,100 men, provide the meansof making practically any kind of marine repairs.

In general, the services to shipping at the Canal

are such as have been developed and found ampleand effective, in the course of handling large

traffic through the Canal in nearly 10 years of

ODeraMon.


The cable address of The Panama Canal, on

the Isthmus, is "Pancanal, Panama;" in the

United Statea. "Pancanal, Washington.'!

Delivery of commissary Supplies at Ship Side.

The Panama Canal, Department of Operation and Maintenance,

Balboa Heights, C. Z., February 4, 1927.

To Ste.\mship Masters, Agents, ant) Owners:

1. Difficulty has been caused of late through the failure of certain steamers to

provide proper facilities for taking on board commissary supplies in the harbors at

Balboa and Cristobal.

2. Cases have been reported where ships, while under way, have endeavored to

take considerable quantities of supplies on board with a small hand line, with the

result that some of the supplies have been lost overboard.

3. Ships should in all cases provide proper lines and can\-as nets for the taking onboard of supplies, and where the quantity of supplies is considerable, weighing 500pounds or more, a boom, preferably amidships, should be rigged and in position

before supplies come alongside.

4. Where necessary to take supplies on board at the stern, and the ship is underway, captains are requested to slow down sufficiently to permit of taking supplies

aboard without possible damage to launch or supply boat from propellers.

5. Effective at once the Commissary Division will not be responsible for supplies

lost after they have been attached to ship's tackle, and the ship's crew have once

started taking supplies from the launch or supply boat.

Salt Water Draft of Vessels Transiting the Canal in 1926.

During the calendar year 1926, the average salt water draft of 2,843

commercial transits of the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the

Pacific was 20.8 feet. From the Pacific to the Atlantic, the average

draft of 2,577 commercial transits was 24.6 feet. The average draft

of the total commercial transits during the year, 5420, was 22.6 feet.

In the following table is shown the salt water draft of vessels through

the Canal during 1926, separated in 1-foot intervals and segregated

by direction of transit, with the averages for 1926, 1925, and 1924:

The vessels of the greatest draft through the Canal in 1926 were

the Amerikaland and the ChiJore, carrying cargoes of iron ore from

Chile to the United States, drawing 34 feet 6 inches. From the At-

lantic to the Pacific, the vessel of the greatest draft was the Manchuria,

carrying general cargo in the Ignited States intercoastal trade, with a

draft of 3i3 feet 6 inches.

It will be noted that during the past calendar year the average

draft of the vessels transiting the Canal from the Pacific to the Atlantic

was 3.8 feet greater than the average draft of vessels passing through

the Canal in the opposite direction. This is accounted for by the fact

that the Pacific to Atlantic traffic is made up largely of vessels carrying

capacity cargoes of mineral oils, iron ore, wheat, and other bulk

products, while the Atlantic to Pacific products is composed largely

of vessels carrying miscellaneous manufactured goods which either

are essentially not so heavy or else do not permit the fullest use of the

stowage space of the vessel. Also, by far the greater proportion of

the transits of vessels in ballast are included in the Atlantic to Pacific

traffic.

Canal Traffic for February.

During the month of February, 1927, 449 commercial vessels and28 small launches transited the Canal. Tolls on the commercialvessels aggregated $1,994,860.82, and on the launches $142.41, or atotal tolls collection of $1,995,003.23.




was $4,442.90, as compared with $4,480.27 for the month of January,1927.

The daily average number of transits was the highest for any monthsince March, 1926, when the average was 16.32. The daily averagetolls collection was the highest for any month since January, 1924,

when the average was $71,511.45.

Traffic for the past month established a record for February traffic

through the Canal, both in number of transits and in amount of tolls

collected. The largest Februarv traffic heretofore was 424 transits

in 1926, and $1,964,155.59 in tolls in 1924.

Traffic from the Atlantic to the Pacific was considerably heavier

than in the opposite direction, there being 200 transits from the Pacific

to the Atlantic and 249 from the Atlantic to the Pacific during themonth.

In the following tabulation the number of commercial transits andthe amount of tolls collected are shown for the first 8 months of thecurrent fiscal year, with the daily average of transits and tolls:

Record Cargoes of Coal and Handling Records.

In The Panama Canal Record of March 11, 1925, there appeareda statement that the steamship Chilore had arrived at Cristobal the

morning of February 23, 1925, with a cargo of 19,792 tons of coal fromNorfolk, Va., for 1 he Panama Canal coaling plant. This cargo of

coal was at that time the largest ever received on the Canal Zoneand believed to have been the largest ever carried by any one vessel.


It took about 10 hours to load the coal at Norfolk and 45 hours and15 minutes to unload it at the coaling plant.

Since the publication of the item referred to above, this same vessel

has brought two larger cargoes of coal to the Isthmus, and the time

consumed in loading and unloading as set forth above has been re-

duced considerably. On June 21, 1926, a cargo of 20,055 tons of coal

was placed aboard the Chilore at Norfolk in 5 hours and 21 minutes

actual loading time, an average of 62| tons per minute or 3,746.6

tons per hour. In connection with this cargo, the vessel was docked

at 4.40 a. m., loading began at 7.15 a. m., was completed at 12.36

p. m., and the vessel sailed for the Canal Zone at 4 p. m. the same day.

This is reported as being the fastest loading time ever made at Norfolk,

Va., and as comparing favorablj^ with loading on the Great Lakes in

the United States where fast handling of ore cargoes is a specialty.

On February 5, 1927, the Chilore arrived at the coaling plant, Cris-

tobal, laden with 20,020 tons of coal. This cargo was discharged

at the coaling plant in 26 hours and 30 minutes with three unloaders

working a total of 16\ tower hours or an average of a little over 262^

tons per tower hour. This is the fastest unloading the coaling plant

has done on the Chilore though it has been exceeded on other vessels.

The fastest unloading the coaling plant has done was on the Bethore,

another vessel of the fleet carrying iron ore from Cruz Grande, Chile,

to Baltimore, Md., on January 21 of the present year. Ninethousand and fifty-one tons were unloaded in 9 hours and 55 minutes

by three towers working 29| tower hours, an average of over 304 tons

per tower hour. The rated capacity of these towers is 250 tons per

hour therefore the 304 tons is 54 tons higher than their rated capacity.

Effect of Water in Gatun Lake on Marine Growth on Ship's Bottom.

In transiting the Canal recently, the U. S. S. Rochester spent slightly

more than 48 hours in the waters of Gatun Lake, during which time

a diver was sent down morning and evening to inspect the bottom

and note the progressive effect of the fresh water on marine growth.

From the report submitted by the commanding officer of the vessel,

the following has been prepared:

February 16, 1927. The vessel entered Miraflores Lake about 2 p. m.,

passed into Gaillard Cut about 3 p. m., proceeded through the Cutand Gatun Lake to a point near Gatun Locks where anchor wasdropped in the Lake at 5.29 p. m.

February 17, 1927.. The first descent was made at 7 a. m.; no grass

remained except a very small amount which was dead and brushed

off easily; no slime was noted; a considerable number of barnacles

were found, mostly under the bilge keels, the larger ones being found

higher and the smaller ones near the keel; all barnacles were solid,

alive, and very difficult to remove.

At 5 p. m. the diver found that the barnacles had softened appreci-

ably, that they were much more readily broken and that the smaller

ones, those up to about three-fourths of an inch in diameter, were

readily removable, though the larger ones required considerable force

and a sharp tool to dislodge.

February 18, 1927. At 7 a. m. it was found that the barnacles had

softened considerably and had become smoother to the touch though

there was little change in the tenacity with which they adhered. At


5 p. m. most of the barnacles had opened leaving only the emptyshells attached to the bottom, these shells being easily removable;above the turn of the bilge and near the surface, the shells had openedbut many of them still contained the barnacle; these were readily

removable also.

No further opportunity for observation was had as the ship enteredGatun Locks at 1.40 a. m. on the morning of the 19th, and passed into

the Atlantic Ocean. From the observations made, it appears thatimmersion in fresh water for 48 hours is sufficient to kill barnacles andmake the shells readily removable.

Facilities for Mineral Oil Storage.

The Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey has three new storage tanksunder construction at the Balboa tank farm. When these tanks are

completed facilities for storage of mineral oils on the Canal Zone will

be as shown in the following tabulation in which the three new tanksare listed under the subheading "Fuel oil."

In the aggregate, upon the completion of the three now under con-struction, there will be a total of 49 tanks with an aggregate storagecapacity of appro.ximately 2,338,000 barrels. As may be seen by theabove tabulation, these facilities are fairly evenly divided as betweenthe two sides of the Isthmus, there being 23 tanks at Cristobal witha combined storage capacity of appro.ximately 1,123,000 barrels, and26 tanks at Balboa with a combined storage capacity of approximately1,215,000 barrels.

Summary of Passenger Movement at the Canal During 1926.

During the calendar year 1926 the number of passengers disem-barking at Canal Zone ports was 39,262 and the number of embarka-tions during the same period was 37,449. Approximately 56.2 percent of the arrivals and 55.4 per cent of the departures were carried

as first-class, and the remainder either as second, third or steerage.

The following tabulation shows, by months, the number of passengersembarking and disembarking at Canal Zone ports during the calendaryear 1926, segregated as between first-class and "others," with com-parative totals for calendar years 1925 and 1924:

Totals, 1924 17,874 15,059 32,933 16,742 12,294 29,036

As compared with 1925 the calendar year 1926 shows a 15.3 percent increase in the total number of arrivals and an increase of 19.3per cent in the total number of departures.

During the past three calendar years from 85 to 90 per cent of thepassenger movement to and from the Canal has been through theport of Cristobal as may be seen from the following tabulation in whichthe totals are given for the years 1924, 1925, and 1926:


1926. 1925. 1924. 1926. 1925. 1924.

27,47126,336

6,6105,315

5,5734,732

5,462Passengers embarking 2,700

A further segregation of the passenger movement shows that 31,880incoming and 30,899 outgoing passengers were brought from anddestined to ports on the Atlantic, and 7,382 incoming and 6,550outgoing passengers were bound from and destined to ports on thePacific.

In addition to the figures shown above of passengers embarking anddisembarking, there were 170,894 passengers brought to the Isthmusby vessels calling at Canal Zone ports during 1926. For the calendaryear 1925 this number was 159,943. Most of these passengers cameashore for a period of from 24 to 48 hours, but as they departed on thesame vessel on which they arrived, they are not taken up in the abovetabulation. This group of 170,894 passengers is segregated as fol-

lows:

Segregating those remaining aboard vessels transiting the Canalaccording to direction of transit for the three calendar years we havethe following:

En route from Atlantic to Pacific ports 97,03855,441

89,43954,554

95,281En route from Pacific to Atlantic ports 51 483

The above represents the strictly passenger trafiic passing throughthe Canal and to and from Canal Zone ports. To get the total num-ber of arrivals and departures of individuals at Canal Zone ports duringthe year, it would be necessary to add the crews of 5,420 commercialvessels and 544 noncommercial vessels which transited the Canalduring the year, as well as some 1,049 vessels calling at the ports ofCristobal and Balboa during the year without transiting the Canal.In the aggregate the combined crews would considerably outnumberthe passengers, though owing to the fact that many of the vesselsmade a number of transits or calls at the terminal ports during theyear there would be considerable duplication in so far as the numberof individuals was concerned in any figures compiled relative to thecrews.

To all concerned— 1. The Panama Railroad Steamship Line has issued an order

that articles of furniture purchased by passengers in Haitian ports may no longer

be classed as baggage. It will be necessary in future for such shipments to be handled

Visit of Vice President Dawes and Party.

The Honorable Charles G. Dawes, Vice President of the UnitedStates, arrived at Cristobal on the morning of March 24 from Havana,accompanied by Mrs. Dawes and a small party of friends. Theparty was met on arrival of the vessel by Governor M. L. Walker of

The Canal, Gen. Charles H. Martin, Commanding The Panama CanalDepartment, Admiral George Day, Commandant of the FifteenthNaval District, Dr. John G. South, American Minister to Panama,and other officials of The Canal and the Republic of Panama.

Vice President Dawes was the guest of General Martin during his

stay on the Isthmus. The party left for Havana on the afternoon of

March 30 on the United Fruit Company's steamer Cartago.

Passing of the steamship "Kroonland."

Shipping journals recently received on the Isthmus announce thepassing of the former Red Star liner Kroonland. After delivering

cargo on the last sailing from New York to Antwerp the vessel washanded over to a firm in Genoa for breaking up.

The Kroonland was built in 1902, at Philadelphia, and when launchedwas rated as the largest American steamship afloat. She is 560 feet

in length, between perpendiculars, has a beam of 60.2 feet, and herregistered gross and net tonnages are 11,933 and 7,055 tons, respec-tively. She is a sister ship of the Finland, which is still in service.

The Kroonland first transited the Canal on February 2, 1915, andmade 6 transits of the Canal during that year. She did not againappear in Canal traffic until October 25, 1923, and from that timeuntil her last transit on June 24, 1925, made a total of 22 transits,

all in the United States intercoastal trade. During that period theKroonland carried 60,462 tons of cargo and 6,461 passengers throughthe Canal.

Including the 6 transits in 1915, total tolls charged against this

vessel aggregated s$255,992.10.The Kroonland was operated in the intercoastal trade by the Panama

Pacific line. Vessels now»engaged in intercoastal trade by this line

are the Manchuria, Mongolia, and Finland. It is proposed to buildthree new vessels in the United States for this line, and it is expectedthat the first of them will be ready for service about the latter partof October, 1927.

At present, tolls are collected at rates of $1.20 per ton for laden vessels and $0.72per ton for vessels in ballast, computed on the basis of The Panama Canal rules of

measurement, with the provision that tolls shall not exceed $1.25 per ton nor beless than $0.75 per ton as determined in accordance with the United States rules for

the measurement of net registered tonnage. In order to ascertain the proper tolls

charges, it is necessary, therefore, that the net tonnage of vessels transiting the Canalbe determined both in accordance with the Panama Canal and the United Statesrules of measurement.

Taking the traffic through the Canal for the month of February, 1927, the follow-

ing tabulation shows a comparison of tolls actually collected under the present methodof assessing tolls, and the tolls that would have been collected on the basis of ThePanama Canal rules of measurement at the proposed rates of $1 laden and $0.60ballast, with transits for the month segregated by flag:

Secretary of War Visits Isthmus.

The Hon. Dwight F. Davis, Secretary of War of the United States,

arrived at Cristobal on the steamer Ancon on the morning of March30, from New York, for an official visit and inspection of the Canal.He was welcomed at the dock by Gov. M. L. Walker, Gen. CharlesH. Martin, Commanding the Panama Canal Department of theUnited States Army, Admiral George Day, Commandant of theFifteenth Naval District, and other officials of the Canal Zone and theRepublic of Panama.During his sojourn on the Isthmus, Mr. Davis was the guest of

Governor Walker. He sailed for New York on the Ancon on Sunday,April 3.

Canal Traffic in March Establishes New Record for Total Transits.

During the month of March, 1927, 496 commercial vessels and 19small launches transited the Canal. Tolls on the commercial vessels

aggregated $2,217,913.20, and on the launches $157.39, or a total tolls


The daily average number of transits of seagoing vessels for themonth was 16, and the daily average tolls collection $71,545.59. Theaverage amount of tolls paid by each of the commercial transits was$4,471.60, as compared with $4,442.90 for the month of February, 1927.

In addition to the commercial vessels and launches, 115 Army andNavy vessels transited the Canal during the month. This establishes

a new record of 630 for vessels of all classes, exclusive of Canal equip-ment, and exceeds by 21 the previous high record for transits estab-lished in March, 1926, when 609 vessels transited the Canal (506commercial, 12 launches, 89 Government vessels, and 2 ships transiting

solely for repairs).

With respect to the amount of tolls collected, the month of March,1927, is the second largest in the history of the Canal, the amountbeing exceeded only by that for December, 1923, when $2,335,729.81was collected on 506 commercial vessels.

In the following tabulation the number of commercial transits and. the amount of tolls collected are shown for the first 9 months of thecurrent fiscal year, with the daily average of transits and tolls:

Facilities for Repair of Vessels at The Panama Canal.

The principal manufacturing and repair plant of The Panama Canalis located at Balboa, the Pacific terminal of tlie Canal. It is adjacentto an inner harbor, which has an area sufficient to permit access to

docks, which aggregate 7,500 feet in length, including commercialdocks, repair wharves, and coaling docks.

A much smaller plant is located at Cristobal, the Atlantic terminal,

about 1| miles from the main commercial docks. The followingis a brief description of the plants:

THE BALBOA PLANT.

The Balboa dry dock is 1,000 feet long by 110 feet wide, with a depthof 35 feet over the blocks at mean tide. High tide varies from 3 to11 feet above mean tide. The dock is served by a 50-ton travelingcrane with an outside reach of 5 feet beyond the center line of the dock.This crane is also capable of traveling along the face of some of therepair wharves, thus facilitating the prosecution of repairs to vessels.

For ships which do not require dry-docking, there are adjacent to

the shops approximately 3,500 feet of repair wharves. At regularintervals along the coping of the dry dock and the repair wharves areoutlets for air, water, and alternating electric current. A limitedquantity of direct current can be supplied by two portable motor-generating sets. Either compressed air or electricity can be suppliedfor operating auxiliaries on ships on which steam is off. Whererefrigerating machinery is shut down, cold storage can be removedfrom the ship's boxes and stored in the Canal cold storage ware-house nearby.The repair shops are centrally located with respect to the dry dock

and repair wharves. Ample track and crane services provide for hand-ling work between shops and ships.

The main metal working shops (machine, smithery, and boiler

shop) are provided with 60-ton overhead traveling cranes, while thefoundry has a 25-ton overhead crane. As all the shops are equippedwith as complete lines of power tools as are generally found in anup-to-date repair shop, only the larger tools will be given special men-tion so as to give an idea of the maximum capacity of each department.The machine shop is provided with a vertical boring mill capable

of working 18 feet in diameter, with an open side extension planer16 feet by 32 feet, and with a lathe 120-inch swing by 65 feet betweencenters. No ship machinery is too large for the capacity of this shop.This shop has a floor area of approximately 68,180 square feet.

The smithery is provided with a 500-ton forging press with thenecessary furnaces to handle any work that the press is capable of.

46C THE PANAMA CANAL RECORD


Billets 24 inches square by 19 feet long are kept in stock and can beworked under this press; there are other machinery and tools usually

found in a first-class smither5^ There is also a department for spring

making and a tool-dressing department that includes oil-burning andelectric-tempering furnaces of the latest type. This shop has a floor

area of approximately 24,386 square feet.

The boiler and ship-fitting shops have a set of rolls capable of bend-ing plates f inch by 30 feet, 1 inch by 24 feet, or 2 inches by 6 feet.

Any size of ship or boiler plates or structural shapes can be workedby the other machinery which includes angle shears, punches, straight-

ening rolls, plate planer, and bending machine. This shop has afloor area of approximately 46,800 square feet.

The pipe shop is outfitted for plumbing work and for pipe, copper,

and sheet-metal work of the highest classes. The floor area of this

shop is approximately 17,144 square feet.

The foundry is equipped with a 2-ton tropenas converter and one2-ton and one 1-ton cupola, and the usual brass furnaces. There is

an efficient sand-blast system for cleaning castings, also gate saws»sprue cutters, and other modern equipment, including annealing fur-

naces, core oven, and mold-drying oven. The foundry can turn outcastings as follows: Bronze, brass or composition, I pound to 1,000

pounds; iron, J pound to 26,000 pounds; steel, i pound to 10,000

pounds. In connection with the foundry is a pattern shop equippedto handle any and all classes of pattern work. This foundry andpattern shop together have a floor area of approximately 37,758 squarefeet.

The planing mill and joiner shop is outfitted with the usual wood-working machines, including a 72-inch sawmill capable of handlingtimbers likely to be used in connection with ship work. Thisshop has a floor area of approximately 49,044 square feet.

The oxy-acetylene plant has portable electric-welding and oxy-acetylene-cutting outfits capable of handling emergency repairs. Theplant develops approximately 400 cubic feet of acetylene per hour,

5,000 cubic feet of oxygen per day, and 10,000 cubic feet of hydrogenper day. All classes of boiler welding are done. Large thermite weldscan be performed. Main engine cylinde/s have been welded in place,

both high pressure and low pressure, the welds being as extensive

and as successful as the welds made in the United States on enginecylinders during the World War. This plant has a floor area of ap-proximately 910 square feet.

An instrument repair shop is maintained in which repairs are madeto navigating instruments, clocks, gauges, typewriters, and computingmachines, and other work of a minute character. In connection withthis shop there is a plating plant for zinc, copper, nickel, silver, andgold. This shop has a floor area of approximately 2,560 square feet.

Located in the same building with the instrument repair shop is-

an electric shop under the control of the Electrical Division, the

facilities of which are available for the entire Panama Canal. Thisshop is equipped for motor winding, switchboard work, and makingrepairs to practically any kind of electrical apparatus. The floor areaof this shop is approximately 3,400 square feet.

Painting: The paint used on vessels painted in the dry dock is thevariety of bottom paint used by the United States Navy, which paintis compounded fresh, as required, in power paint mills and mixers.


Other brands of bottom paint are not stocked, but brands of paint

supplied by a vessel, either from her own stores aboard or by local

purchase of her own, will be applied. The paint shop does all the

painting and varnishing of the Panama Railroad passenger coaches

and other rolling stock, also automobiles, etc., and is equipped to

apply Nitro-Valspar. This paint shop has a floor area of approximately14,064 square feet.

There is a car shop equipped with all necessary machinery for the

building of railroad cars of all kinds and also the repairing of all the

rolling stock of the Panama Railroad. In connection with this shopthere is a rerolling mill for rerolling bars and miscellaneous scrap

material into rounds and flats. This shop has a floor area of approxi-

mately 61,819 square feet.

There is located at both the Balboa and the Cristobal Shops andconnected therewith, a roundhouse where general overhauling as well

as minor repairs are made to the locomotives of the Panama Railroad.

The air compressor plant and dry dock pumping plant at Balboaare located in the'same building. There are two 5,000 cubic feet andone 2,500 cubic feet air compressors in use, driven by electric motorsand one 2,500 cubic feet steam-driven compressor which is considered

only as an emergency unit.

There is a laboratory equipped with a 100,000-pound Riehle testing

machine and a Brinell hardness testing machine and other equipmentfor making physical tests of all kinds. There are also available in anotherdivision of The Panama Canal, laboratories where chemical tests can

be made of fuel oils, metals, etc.

All shop tools are operated by electricity. The larger tools are

provided with independent motors and the smaller tools are arranged in

groups and driven from countershafts. The current is obtained froma hydroelectric plant at the Gatun spillway, supplemented by a Diesel-

driven plant at Miraflores. The 25-cycle, alternating current is.

transmitted to the Balboa substation at 44,000 volts. At the sub-

station it is transformed to 2,200 volts and so distributed throughunderground duct lines to the various shops, where it is further trans-

formed, where necessary, to suitable voltages for use. The variable

speed tools in. the machine shop are driven by direct current fromrotary transformers within the shop. All other tools are driven byalternating current, generally at 220 volts. Current at 220 volts

is available at all points along the water front for power purposes, andat 110 volts for lighting in the event of ships' generators being out of

use.

The storehouses (under the control of the Supply Department)carry on hand a large stock of steel shapes, pipe, ship fittings, andsupplies of every description. Steel plate is carried in stock in all

thicknesses up to and including 2 inches. Plates smaller than |-inch

vary by sixteenths and plates larger than |-inch vary by eighths.

The largest plates in stock are 72 inches by 10 feet by 2 inches thick.

A large amount of steel billets is kept on hand in all sizes up to andincluding 24 inches by 24 inches by 19 feet. Structural shapes are

carried as follows: I-beams, all sizes up to 27 inches; channels, all

sizes up to 15 inches; ship channels, all sizes up to 12 inches; andangles,^

all sizes up to 8 inches by 8 inches by f inch. There are also carried


in the storehouses lumber of all sizes and miscellaneous equipment

and supplies of practically every description that are used m the

operation and maintenance of the entire Panama Canal.

In addition to the crane service heretofore mentioned, the services

of two floating cranes with a capacity of 250 tons each are available

at any time or place in the Canal or the terminal harbors.

THE CRISTOBAL PLANT.

The Cristobal plant has less capacity than the Balboa plant and is

intended for repairs of less importance. The activities of these shops

are confined to three buildings, of somewhat temporary construction,

one of which houses the machine shop, smithery. pipe shop, and power

plant ; another the boiler and shipfitter's shop ; and the third, the wood-

working shop. The tools arc of smaller capacity than those in use

at the Balboa plant, few steps having been taken to modernize the

plant pending more definite information as to exactly what the de-

mands upon it will be. It is, however, capable of undertaking routine

repairs to vessels; and in emergencies, such parts as require larger

tools than are available here can be shipped to Balboa to be machined.

There isavailable at this plant a small dry dock, originally construct-

ed by the French and later extended by the Americans. This dock

is now 300 feet in length, 50 feet in width, and has a depth over the

blocks of 13 feet 6 inches at ordinary mean high tide. Adjacent to

the shops and drvdock are approximately 2,000 feet of repair w-harves.

The facilities of the more extensive plant at Balboa are made avail-

able for vessels at the Atlantic end of the Canal through the provision

that vessels transiting the Panama Canal from Cristobal to Balboa

and return for the sole purpose of having repairs made at the Balboa

dry dock and shops will be exempt from payment of tolls, but a charge

will be made for pilotage and for handling ship's lines, as provided

in the current Panama Canal tariff or supplements thereto._________ -' -• '> —

due to the fact that there are few structures in the Canal Zone outside

of those owned by the Government of the United States and none of

such Government property is covered by fire insurance.

Notice to Mariners.

The Panama Canal, Executive OfficIe,

Balboa Heights, C. Z., April 14, 1927.

The following letter was received by The Panama Canal

:

Republic of Ecuador,

Port Captain's Office, Guayaquil, April 5, 1927.

Director of the Hydrographic Office, Cristobal, Canal Zone:

Sir.—Please take note of the following changes made in the location of the buoys

in the Guayaquil Gulf:

I. We have abandoned the idea of placing Buoy No. 1 as it was projected in the

Isla Verde Shoal; therefore, Buoy No. 2 becomes No. 1, and Buoy No. 3 becomesNo. 2.

II. It has been seen in the practice that the current has displaced the buoysfrom their former positions so they have been placed in other locations where weexpect they will withstand the current.

The situation of the buoys is:

Buoy No. 1 (which was No. 2 before), latitude, 2° 48' 55" S., longitude, 79"

53' 15" W.; characteristics, flash, 0.3 seconds, dark, 2.7 seconds.

Buoy No. 2 (which was No. 3 before), latitude, 3° 1' 45" S., longitude, 80° 1'

30" W. ; characteristics, flash, 0.3 seconds; dark, 2.7 seconds.

Which I have the pleasure of communicating to you. Honor and Fatherland,

The Port Captain, (Sgd.) J. F. Anda.Note.—-The above positions differ somewhat from those given in Hydrographic

Office Notice to Mariners, No. 14 of April 2, 1927, page 357.

At present, tolls are collected at rates of ^S1.20 per ton for laden vessels and SO. 72


measurement, with the provision that tolls shall not exceed SI. 25 per ton nor be less


measurement of net registered tonnage. In order to ascertain the proper tolls

charges, it is necessary, therefore, that the net tonnage of vessels transiting the Canal

be determined both in accordance with the Panama Canal and the United States

rules of measurement.


Taking the traffic through the Canal for the month of March, 1927, the followingtabulation shows a comparison of tolls actually collected under the present methodof assessing tolls, and the tolls that would have been collected on the basis of thePanama Canal rules of measurement at the proposed rates of $1 laden and $0.60ballast, with the transits for the month segregated by flag:

VIT.\L STATISTICS.

A total of 167 deaths occurred during the month of March, 1927, among the

population of the Canal Zone, and the cities of Panama and Colon, which is equiva-

lent to an annual death rate of 15.67 per 1,000 population. The leading causes of

death were: Tuberculosis (various organs), 30; pneumonia (acute and chronic),

20; organic diseases of the heart, 19; diarrhea and enteritis, 15; and nephritis (acute

and chronic). 10. There were 5 deaths from apople.xy and 5 deaths from cancer.

There were 14 deaths among nonresidents of the Isthmus. These are not included

in the above statistcs.

There were 285 live births reported during the month, and 24 stillbirths. In-

cluding stillbirths, this is equivalent to an annual birth rate of 28.99 per 1,000 popu-

lation. Deaths among children under 1 year of age numbered 25. giving an infant

mortality rate of 87.72 per 1,000 live births

The total number of malaria cases reported from the Zone and the cities of Panamaand Colon during March, was 71, of whom 6 were employees (1 white and 5 colored),

3 were members of emplovees' families (2 white and 1 black), 11 were other civilian

nonemployees, and 51 we're Army and Navy personnel—the majoiit\' of whom re-

ceived their infection while on maneuvers outside the sanitated areas. Seven of the

9 employees and members of their families were probably infected outside our sani-

tated areas, as they gave a history of w'orking, living, or having been in such areas

at night previous to their becoming sick.

The total number of cases, 71, compares favorably with March in former years,

there being only 2 vears in the past 10 when the total number of cases reported was

fewer—55 in 1920 and 58 in 1922.


For the first 3 months of the calendar year, the number of cases of malaria hasbeen lower than in any similar period during the last 10 years, except 1920, in

which year there were 8 cases fewer than this year.There was one death from malaria in March, a soldier from Corozal.


The value of material ordered on United States requisitions and received on theIsthmus during the month totaled $619,923.27, of which $596,435.94 was for theDepartment of Operation and Maintenance, and $23,487.33 for other Panama Canaldepartments.

Cash sales on the Isthmus from stock, fuel oil, scrap and obsolete and second-handmaterial amounted to $151,487.73.


The following statement shows in a condensed form the aggregate revenue andexpenditures for the month of February, 1927, as compared with February, 1926,together with figures for the first 8 months of the current fiscal year as compared withthe same period in the fiscal year 1926.

The Consular officers of the United States at seaports all over the world are ex officio representativesof The Panama Canal for the purpose of furnishing information to shipping and allied interests as toconditions, charges, etc., at the Panama Canal affecting the operation of ships. The current publicationaof The Panama Canal of interest to shipping are furnished to the Consular officers and filed for reference.

It is not desired that inquiries of a general nature be addressed to the Consular officers, or that theybe burdened with requests which should be made direct to The Panama Cnnal; but ships' operators whomay not be sufficiently advised as to charges, supplies, facilities, etc.. at the Canal will often save timeby applying to the nearest American Consul.

Royal Netherlands West India Mail Building Removed to Make Way for

New Office Building at Cristobal for All Canal Units.

The 2-story concrete office building housing the Royal Netherlands

West India Mail activities in Cristobal has been moved across Colum-bus Avenue in order to make way for the Administration Building to

be built at the Atlantic terminus of the Canal. The new building is

designed to provide office space for the various activities of the Canalorganization which are now housed in separate buildings located in

different parts of the town. Rather than provide several new per-

manent buildings, an Administration Building with facilities for all

offices was adopted as more convenient.

The Administration Building will face on Terminal Street, with

wings along Roosevelt and Columbus Avenues. The front measure-

ment is 160 feet long, the east wing 280 feet, and the west wing 124

feet. The structure will be fireproof, of reinforced concrete, with 3

stones on the north front, and two stories on the wings. The 2-story

portion of the wings is designed with a flat slab on the third-floor

level suitable for a future floor in case the wings should be extended

subsequently to 3-story height. Two main staircases are pro-

vided, with necessary lobby space, at the east and northeast corners

of the building. The estimated cost of the new structure is $500,000.

Floor space is approximately as follows: First floor, 27,584 square feet;

second floor, 22,724 square feet; third floor, 7,360 square feet, pro-

viding a total of 57,668 square feet.

The offices which will abandon their present locations and be instal-

led in the new building are the post off.ce, police station, magistrate's

court, district court, garage and jail, paymaster, collector, district

quartermaster, Panama R. R. Steamship ticket agent, land agent,

and the district dentist.

First steps in the construction of the building started on January 6

when the ground was drilled with a view to ascertaining the require-

ments for the foundations.

New Sand and Gravel Plant.

A new method of reclaiming sand and gravel for use in cement

work was inaugurated January 12, 1927, when a pipe line suction

dredge assisted by the relay pump barge began delivering gravel to

the stock pile at Gamboa through a pipe line approximately 5,000

feet long and over a maximum elevation of 45 feet.

A new plant for washing the gravel and screening it into sizes has

also been built to the north of the Chagrcs River and east of railway

tracks at Gamboa. This plant has been in operation since the latter


part of October, 1926, and is soon to be supplemented by a rockcrusher for those sizes over 3 inch which constitute about one-seventhof the total run of bank gravel and which otherwise would go to waste.

About 50 per cent of the demand foi* gravel is for run of bank, con-sequently stock piles of this grade have been established at Balboaand Cristobal. For these stock piles a sufficient quantity of gravel

directly from the original deposit in the Chagres River will be securedduring the operation of accumulating a stock pile at Gamboa byloading cars at the end of the dredge's discharge line.

Formerly gravel was secured by dredgmg into barges, towing to

Gamboa, unloading into cars and hauling to stock pile. The newmethod will result, it is estimated, in a saving of 50 cents per cubic

yard, or about 40 per cent, and in addition, valuable sanitary workwill be accomplished without additional cost.

Bridge Across Miraflores Spillway Discharge Channel.

The discharge channel of the spillway of Miraflores Lake, on theeast side of Miraflores Locks, separates the locks from the PanamaRailroad and the principal highways. Heretofore, crossing has beenmade over a pile trestle carrying a spur of the Panama Railroad butnot suitable for motor vehicles. It has been decided to build a steel andconcrete trestle bridge to carry both railway and highway to the locks,

and to locate the lines so as to make the building of the former steamelectric plant available as a storehouse for material for the locks.

The bridge is to be built about 200 yards below the spillway dam andwill, in effect, connect the old steam plant at Miraflores with Mira-flores Locks. The estimated length is 530 feet and the cost will beapproximately $125,000, including approaches. The bridge will

probably be a series of plate girders, having single track and a single

width road, both occupying the same space, and allowing only one-waytraffic at a time. In connection with this bridge there has been com-pleted a quarter of a mile of 18-foot road, leading from the Gaillard

Highway to the bridge project at the west wall of the Diesel powerplant. Heretofore, all materials and supplies for the locks at Mira-flores had to be hauled by rail from the storehouse at Corozal to Mira-flores. Upon the completion of the new bridge all supplies for thelocks can be stored at the old steam plant and hauled by either car or

truck to the locks.

Regulating Level of Gatun Lake.

The Panama Canal, ExECUTrvE Office,

Balboa Heights, C. Z., May 9, 1927.To ALL concerned:

1. The following schedule for maintaining Gatun Lake during the 1927 rainyseason will be adhered to as closely as conditions permit.

. 2. The Lake will be allowed to fill to elevation 85.50 before any water is wasted overthe spillway. Spilling for sanitary purposes or for exhibition will be permitted uponapproval of the chief of surveys. The Lake will be held between elevations 85.50and 86.00 until October 1 : filled to elevation 86.50 in October; and to elevation 87.00after November I, as indicated by water supply conditions. After spillage is begun,a variation of 0.50' from above elevations will be allowed to lessen the number of gateoperations.

Tank Arrangements on Vessels.

The Panama Canal, Department of Operation and Maintenance,Board of Admeasurement,

Balboa Heights, C. Z., May 12, 1927.Memorandum for all Steamship Agents:

1. It has come to the attention of the Panama Canal authorities that the tankarrangements on certain vessels using the Panama Canal are not in accordance withthe arrangements as shown on the back of the tonnage abstract, attached to thePanama Canal certificate, and certified to as correct, by the master of the vessel

2. As the tonnages both under the Panama Canal and United States rules of meas-urement, on which toll charges are based, are effected by the tank arrangements onboard the vessels, any changes made must be brought to the attention of the Canaladmeasurers by the master, immediately upon the arrival of the vessel in Canal Zonewaters.

3. It is requested that masters of all vessels using the Canal be notified to check uptheir tank arrangements with the above-mentioned list and report any changestherein, to the Canal admeasurers at once.

4. In this connection your attention is called to the fact that in order for a tankto qualify as ballast space, it must actually be connected only with the bona fideballast system and not be available for any other purpose.

the United States intercoastal trade, segregated by commodities andby direction, with the totals for April, 1927, and the totals for April,

1926, and 1925. Cargo statistics are compiled from cargo declara-

tions submitted by masters of vessels, and in these declarations small

items are frequently grouped under the designation of "General Cargo."

These statistics are accordingly not precise but they are indicative

of the kind and quantity of the cargo in transit through the Canal.

The figures represent tons of 2.240 pounds, and are for the UnitedStates intercoastal trade only:

West Side Canal Towns Further Abandoned.

Electric current furnished towns on the west side of the Canal I'li

the Camp Gaillard area will be cut off as soon as the Army complete^'

remo\al from the area to the east side of the Canal. Culebra, Empire.Lirio, and Golden Green are the towns affected. No change is pro-

posed in the present lighting system at Las Cascadas, where the \Vesi

Caribbean Training School is in operation. Discontinuance of the

oer\ice is due to the abandonment of Camp Gaillard b\' the Army.The towns which in future will have to rely on other than electric lighi

for illumination are now inhabited by about 150 colored residents,

most of whom are nonemployees.Culebra and Empire were important towns during the construction

days from 1906 to 1914. The Chairman and Chief Engineer, some of

the other members of the Isthm.ian Canal Commission, and various

officials directed features of the construction of the Canal from their

offices at Culvbra, until the completion of actual construction, whenthe town was abandoned and turned o\er to the Army, the adminis-

trative offices of the Canal being removed to Balboa Heights. AtEmpire were located the steam shovel repair shops, the offices of the

Division Engineer of the Central Di\ision, in charge of the excavation

of Culebra Cut (named "Gaillard Cut" by Executive Order of April

17, 1915), and the disbursing and accounting ofihccs until headquarters

were moved to Balboa Heights. The Central Division was abolished

on October 10, 1913, the day of the blowing up of Gamboa dike. Thetransfer of the other offices to Balboa Heights took place in Augustand September, 1914, approximately 5 months after the Isthmian

Canal Commission had ceased to exist and been succeeded by ThePanama Canal, April 1. 1914.

• Executive Order.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by law, that part of Section 5 of the

Executive Order of April 14, 1921, relating to the issuance of vehicle licenses to

bona fide tourists in the Canal Zone, and establi-shing the fee therefor, is amendedto read as follows:

"A ninety-day motor vehicle license will be issued without charge to a bona fide

tourist or nonresident who has brought his private vehicle to the Canal Zone, provid-

New Pattern Storage Shop Nearing Completion.

Approximately 7,000 square feet of space will be available for the

storage of patterns at the Balboa shops when the 2-story, concreteand steel pattern storage building now in course of erection is com-pleted. The new structure is a 34 by 61-foot addition to the present

building, which was erected for pattern shop and storage, and will

cost, when completed, about $45,000. Work was started on the founda-tions on December 13, 1926, and it is estimated that the building will

be completed about June 15, 1927.

The pattern shop itself is now located on the second floor of the

restaurant building adjoining the original pattern shop and storagebuilding. It will be moved to the ground floor of the' new structure

where working space, smaller than that occupied in the old quarters,

will be assigned. The work space vacated in the restaurant buildingwill then be used for pattern storage.

With patterns accumulating every year, ever since construction days,the pattern storage facilities at the shops have been overtaxed for

se^'eral years. The situation has been relieved to some extent byutilizing space in other buildings. For several years a shed near the

Balboa roundhouse has accommodated some of the patterns. Whenthe addition is completed it will be possible to move all of the patternsfrom this shed to the new storage room, except the very heavy onesand those rarely used. They will thus be centralized and readihaccessible to the foundrv.

Volume XX. Balboa Heights, C. Z., May 25, 1 927. No. 42.

Effect of Fresh Water on Salt-Water Growths on Ships' Bottoms.

The question of how much effect fresh water has on a ship's bottomin the wa^^ of killing salt-water growths is always uppermost in the

seaman's mind and while it is generally known that some beneficial

effect is produced the general extent, and time involved, are notgenerally known. Recently experiments along this line have beenconducted by the commanding officers of United States Navy ships

in Gatun Lake of the Panama Canal. Two especial cases are in mind

—

those of the U. S. S. Rochester and U. S. S. Argonne. As the former's

test was not complete, due to lack of sufficient time, a detailed outline

of the results is not given.

The experiment by the U. S. S. Argonne, however, lasted from11 a. m., April 29, to 11 a. m.. May 8, 1927, and while space will notpermit of giving the report in detail, sufficient is furnished to show the

advancing effect of fresh water treatment. The following notes havebeen abstracted by the Marine Superintendent of The Panama Canalfrom a report by the commanding officer of the U. S. S. Argonne to

the Commandant of the 15th Naval District:

On anchoring in Gatun Lake at 10.30 a. m., on April 29, the vessel had been out of

dry dock for 14 months and her bottom was heavily covered with barnacles, moss, andgrass. The barnacles were one-half inch in diameter, nearly round, and protrudedabout one-quarter inch out of the shell. The shell was brittle and was about onethirty-second of an inch thick. Moss 1 inch long covered the barnacles. .Sea grass

6 inches long covered the water line to a depth of 2 feet below the surface. The fore-

going was the condition at the time the diver made his first inspection at 11 a. m.,

on April 29. At 5.30 p. m. on April 29, the second inspection was made and no changenoted. At 6.50 a. m., April 30, third inspection. Barnacles opening and smaller

ones falling off. Larger barnacles began to swell and emerge through cone. In somecases shells were already emptied. Moss on barnacles still unaffected though it pulled

off easier.

At 6.50 p. m., April 30, fourth inspection. Progressive killing of barnacles con-

tinued being particularly noticeable in the larger ones. In many cases they burst

completely open but still adhered to bottom. Smaller ones falling off. No commenton grass.

At 7.10 a. m., May 1, fifth inspection. Steady improvement noted as to barnacles.

No change in grass on water line but moss on barnacles easily removed.At 5 p. m., May 1, sixth inspection. Steady improvement noted in barnacles,

majority now being empty of life and shell softening. More easily scraped off

bottom. Grass on water line unaffected.

At 6.45 a. m., May 2, seventh inspection.. Same as before except that empty shells-

had tendency to fall off on slightest touch. No change in grass.

At 5 p. m.. May 2, eighth inspection. Barnacle shell disintegrating and scraped

off easily. Grass on water line decomposing and thinning out.

At 6.45 a. m., May 3, ninth inspection. Same progress noted as in eighth inspec-

tion.

At 7.20 a. m., May 4, tenth inspection. Five days after anchoring in Gatun Lakeinspection of the ship's bottom amidship and aft showed similar conditions with the

moss on the barnacles almost completely gone and that on the water line three inches

long but thinning out considerably. Animal life rapidly disappearing.


The opinion is here expressed that the maximum beneficial effect had now beenproduced and that it was only the still waters of the lake that prevented all adhesionsfrom being removed. Though later inspections were made no particular changes werenoted.On May 9, the Argonne went to sea and 3 days later anchored in a West Indian

port. Here a diver was sent over and in the clear water noted as follows: Ninetyper cent of the barnacles had disappeared having apparently been washed off at sea.

The only barnacles left were just below the water line and extended down to a depthof several feet. They were small and adhered to bottom in spots mostly in and aroundindentations and the lapping of plates. These were easily scraped off by the hand.Moss and grass had completely disappeared leaving bottom clean. The paint onship's bottom was in good condition.

On the run up effort was made to check up on fuel consumption but this washandicapped to some extent by head seas and strong winds. However, it was noted,

in comparison with a run made a month previous at same R. P. M., that 2 per cent

less fuel was used with 27-inch vacuum. Vacuum on previous run was 28 inches.

It is, therefore, computed that the actual saving in fuel was 7 per cent. For theArgonne this is the equivalent of one knot in speed at 12 knots.

A summary of effectiveness of fresh water may be stated to be as follows : Maximumeffective time, 5 days. Total effective about 75 per cent of a regular docking.

CANAL WORK IN APRIL, 1927.

Washington, D. C.

Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report covering operations of ThePanama Canal during the month of April, 1927

:

NUMBER OF TRjVNSITS.


these, 15 nonseagoing launches, measuring under 20 tons, and 70 vessels belonging to

or chartered by the United States Government, transited the Canal. In addition to

the above 3 were three transits of a Panaman Government vessel, making a total of

552 transits for the month, or a daily average of 1S.4.

Tolls on the 464 commercial vessels amounted to §2,065,206.92, and on the launches

to $119.29, making a total tolls collection of $2,065,326.21, or a daily average on all

traffic of §68,844.21. The average amount of tolls paid by each of the commercialtransits was $4,450.88, as compared with $4,471.60 for the month of March, 1927.

(acute and chronic), 14; organic diseases of the heart, 13; and diarrhea and enteritis,

6. There was 1 death from diphtheria, 1 from leprosy, 3 deaths from meningococcusmeningitis, 3 from apoplexy, and 5 from cancer (various forms). There were 12

families were probably infected outside our sanitary areas, as they gave a history of

working, living, or having been in such areas at night previous to their becoming sick.

Volume XX. Balboa Heights, C. Z., June i, 1927. No. 43.

Fire on ««Point Lobes.*'

The steamship Point Lohos, owned and operated by Swayne & Hoyt,Inc., arrived at Cristobal on May 28, 1927, with a fire in the cargo ofNo. 1 hold. She was boarded by members of the Cristobal Fire De-partment and, after an investigation, it was decided to dock the vesselbefore attempting to extinguish the fire.

It appears that at 11 a. m.. May 24, 1927, fire was discovered in No.4 hold in granulated charcoal in sacks. This fire supposedly wasextinguished but was noticed to have rekindled on May 25, whereuponthe hatch was opened and most of the charcoal removed from the holdto the deck. No further fire developed in No. 4 hold. At 2 p. m.,May 26, 1927, smoke was discovered coming from the ventilators ofNo. 1 hold and after investigation the master closed the ventilatorsand proceeded to Cristobal. Upon docking at Cristobal the charcoalwas removed from No. 1 hold. No flames developed while the char-coal was being removed.The fire is believed to have been caused by spontaneous combustion

of the charcoal, as fire occurred in the charcoal in both the No. 1 andNo. 4 holds, which are widely separated by No. 2 and No. 3 holds.The ship was not damaged, and the damage to the cargo can not beestimated until a complete survey is made.The Point Lobos is engaged in the United States intercoastal trade

and, at the time of the fire, was en route from Houston, Texas, to Ta-coma. Wash., with 3,392 tons of cargo aboard.

Provisions Repfuired by Ships.

The Panama Canal Commissary Division, with facilities at Balboaand Cristobal for delivery of supplies to steamships, carries a completeline of provisions, such as meats, fruits, vegetables, eggs, buttercanned goods, cigars, cigarettes, tobacco, etc., which are sold to shipsat the prices which are in eflFect for employees, no surcharge beingadded. Beef especially is available at low prices, hindquarters sellingat 12| cents per pound and forequarters at 11 cents per pound.

Orders may be placed in advance by radio for delivery on arrival,or at either terminal for prompt delivery or for delivery at the otherterminal after transit. All vessels are boarded on arrival by a repre-ientative of the Commissary Division.

By virtue of the authority vested in me by the Act of Congress approved May22, 1918, as extended by the Act of Congress of March 2, 1921, I hereby prescribethe following regulations governing the entry of seamen as passengers:

Prospects for Traffic for Fiscal Year.

Tolls received during the first 11 months of the current fiscal yearamounted to 822,255,452.14, and it is likely the tolls for June will

carry the total to over $24,000,000. The largest amount of tolls

yet collected during any 12-month period occurred during the fiscal

year 1924, v.-hen 824,290,963.54 was paid. This figure has been ap-proached several times, notably during the calendar year 1926,when 823,901,540.04 was collected. The largest contributing factor

in making 1924 a record year was the heavy shipments of California

mineral oils during that time. This item declined during 1925 and1926, but the trend has been slightly upward during the past year.

Shipmentsof other commoditiesha\e increastdhowevcr, since 1924, andthe calendar year 1926 was the largest in the history of the Canal for

total cargo tonnage through the Canal, with 27,586,051 tons.

No appreciable decline in traffic is anticipated for the balance of

this year, and it is possible that the 1924 figure may be surpassed in

point of tolls. With respect to cargo, the monthly average for the

first 11 months of the current fiscal year shows a slight increase overthe monthly a\erage for the first 11 months of the calendar year 1926,

and it is probable that a new high record will be established this yearfor cargo tonnage.

•'John D. Archbold" and "Sunewarkco" in Collision.

The tanker John D. Archbold of the Standard Oil Company of NewJersey and the freight steamship Stinewarkco of the Submarine BoatCorporation came into collision in Cristobal Karbor in the night of May26. The Sunewarkco, damaged amidships, was able to clear on May 29

for Boston. The John D. Archbold, damaged at the stern, transferred

107,000 barrels of her cargo to the tanker Charles Pratt at Cristobal,

was returned through the Canal on May 31, and after discharging the

balance of her cargo, amounting to 28,857 barrels, into two tanks at

Balboa, was placed in the dry dock at Balboa on June 1. After the

accomplishment of the necessary underwater work the vessel wasbrought from dry dock on June 3 and has been at the repair wharfsince, for repairs to the rudder and replacement of damaged plates.

The Charles Pratt, to which most of the Archbold''s cargo was trans-

ferred, was bound for Los Angeles in ballast. While awaiting the com-pletion of work on the Archbold the Pratt has been lying at anchor in

Gatun Lake. Upon the completion of the repairs the Archbold will

take part cargo at Balboa and proceed to Gatun Lake to receive the

rest from the Pratt, after-which both vessels will clear for their des-

tinations.

Hydrographic Survey of Gulf of Panama.

The Hydrographic Office of the U. S. Na\y plans to make a surveyof the Gulf of Panama and the Pacific approaches to the gulf, begin-

ning probabh' within a few months. The U. S. S. Niagara will be used

as the survey ship.

The existing charts for the areas to be covered by this survey are in-

complete. The basis of the charting is surveys made by the British in

the period 1849 to 1851, and while their work was remarkably thorough,

hydrographic survey methods and equipment of that time were not as

adequate as those which have been developed since. The British chart

THE PANAMA CANAL RECOKD 579

has been supplemented from time to time by soundings and surveysover small localities in the area but on the present charts there are

geodetic distortions and some shoals and dangerous rocks are notshown, and also the scale is too small. The increasing use of thesewaters with the growth of traffic through the Canal and to and fromBalboa has led to the project of a complete survey. It is expected thatHydrographic Office Chart No. 1019 will be supplemented, possibly

by a small scale chart and two or more detailed charts on a larger scale.

Officials on the Isthmus have not been advised as to the exact timeof arrival of the Niagara to begin this survey but it is anticipated thatit will be within a month or two.

Second Largest Commercial Vessel In Balboa Dry Dock.

The tanker John D. Archbold, which was in dry dock at BalboaJune 1 to 3, is 570.2 feet in length by 75.1 feet beam and 42.6 feet

depth, of 14,054 gross and 8,790 net registered tons, and is the secondlargest commercial vessel to have made use of the dry dock at Balboa.The largest commercial type vessel to have used the dock was thetransport Von Steuben, 637.1 feet long, 66.3 feet beam, 39.3 feet depth,of 14,907 gross registered tons. The battleship New Mexico, 624 feet

long, 97 feet 4| inches beam, ot 32,000 displacement tons, is consideredthe largest vessel ever placed in the Balboa dry dock. The dock has ausable length of 1,000 feet, width of 110 feet, and depth of 35 feet of

water over the blocks at mean tide or about 42 to 45 feet at norma!high tide, and is capable of docking any ship in the world.

Tanker Traffic Through the Panama Canal in May, 1927.

During the month of May, 1927, 115 tank ships transited the Canal,

with an aggregate net tonnage, Panama Canal measurement, of

662,451, on which tolls of $582,549.72 were collected. In point of net

"

tonnage, tanker traffic for the past month showed an increase of a little

less than 1 per cent over the same traffic for the corresponding month a

year ago, while cargo tonnage showed a decrease of approximately9.1 per cent under the tanker cargo tonnage of May, 1926.

New Record for Discharge of Tanker.

Pumping at an average rate of 6,448 barrels of oil an hour, the tanker

H. M. Storey of the Standard Oil Company established on May 16-17,

1927, a new record for discharging oil cargo at the Panama Canalpumping plants. The vessel arrived on May 16 and started discharging

at 3.25 p. m. that day. The discharge was completed at 7.30 a. m.,

on May 17, in 16 hours and 5 minutes. This time included 55 minutes

spent in draining tanks. The oil was delivered part of the time into

two tanks simultaneously, going to one through the Canal pumpingplant and to the other by a second pipe line direct from the pumps onthe ship.

While the H. M. Storey was discharging, the oil handling plant pump-ed 7,501.20 barrels of oil to three vessels, making the total amountof oil handled in 16 hours and 5 minutes, 111,199.30 barrels. TheH. M. Storey left the oil crib just 24 hours after she had arrived at the

Balboa anchorage.The best prex'ious discharge record was made b\- the tanker Alberto-

lite of the Imperial Oil Company on July 13, 1925, at Cristobal. TheAlbertolite discharged 80,954.66 barrels in 15 hours and 45 minutes,

averaging 5,139.97 barrels per hour.

"President Hayes" on Twelfth Consecutive Voyage Around the World.

The steamship President Hayes, one of the Dollar Steamship Line's

around-the-world ships transited the Canal on June 3, having sailed

from New York on May 26 on her twelfth voyage around the world.

According to published statements, when this \'essel arrived in NewYork on May 19 last, it had encircled the world 11 times, covering an

aggregate of 281,985 miles, touching at each of the 21 regular ports of

call and maintaining the schedule which was laid down 3^ years ago.

It is claimed that this vessel has maintained an efficiency of 97 per

cent in arriving and sailing per published schedule for the 3| years

and that this performance is unequalled in maritime history.

The" President" boats are combination passenger and freight steam-

ers and circumnavigate the earth in 106 da}'s. Around-the-world

tickets are sold good for two years, with stop-o\-er privileges in all

ports of call. This service was inaugurated in February, 1924, andmaintains fortnightly sailings.

Portion of Old Wall of City of Panama Razed.

Forces of the Municipal Engineering Division of The Panama Canalbegan on May 9, to excavate and raze a portion of the old wall of theCity of Panama, which stood near the southwest corner of the originalwalled city. In the present city it lies between Central Avenue andAvenue "A," and between Herrera Plaza and 10th Street. Uponthe completion of this work and the tearing down of several buildings,the National City Bank of New York will erect a modern building,bordering on Central Avenue, 10th Street, and two new streetsunder construction. One of the new streets will run from CentralAvenue at a point west of 10th Street, connecting with the other newstreet running from Plaza de Herrera due south, and eventually willconnect with Avenue "A."

For the following notes on the historical background of Panama andits sea wall The Panama Canal is indebted to Mr. Samuel Lewis ofPanama

:

Though the old City of Panama was destroyed in 1671, it was not until 1673 thatGovernor Fernandez dc Cordoba started plans for the new city. History alwaysgives a reason for the laying out of a new city and in this case it was on account of anold monk by the name of Gonzalo de Meneses de Alencastre y Andrede. He hadcome from Spain in 1669 and begun a crusade against vice and immorality in oldPanama. Returning from a visit from Peru in 1672, he refused to land in old Pana-ma and instead chose what is now Panama City Brother Gonzalo even went sofar as to predict the burning of old Panama by devils dressed in British uniforms.He was so zealous that he painted a picture of this prediction and displayed it inSan Francis Church. The result was that he obtained in Lima a great sum of moneyto better these conditions but by the time he returned the city had been burned bythe British buccaneer, Morgan. It was because of his agitation and recommenda-tions that plans for the new City of Panama were laid.

With the pjlanning of the new city came the question concerning protection againstpirates and invasion. Governor Cordoba died in 1674 and the affairs of the govern-ment were turned over to Bishop Antonio de Leon, the ecclesiastical head of thegovernment. The same year Alonzo iVIercado de Villacorta, arrived from Tucuman,Argentina, where he had served as Sargento General de Batalla under Charles H,King of Spain. He planned the wall of new Panama, which was completed in 1681,The wall at the place which is now being razed was 11 feet wide with an outer wallthat was used as a moat, and about 20 feet high.

Facilities for Shipping.The Panama Canal is equipped 'with all tlie facilities for the fueling, supply, and repair of ships


1,500 tons an hour, practically as fast as it can be handled in ships' bunkers. Oil can be deliveredas fast as the ships can take it, from 30 tanks aggregating approximately 3,536,500 barrels of storagecapacity. Crude fuel oil. Diesel oil, and gasoline are sold.The ships' chandlery storehouses carry a wide variety of marine supplies and spare parts. The

commissary stores sell foodstuffs, fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as clothing and a generalline of goods for supplying about 30,000 people resident on the Isthmus. Ice plants, a large laundry,hotels, hospitals, and restaurants serve the passengers and crews of ships.A 1,000-foot dry dock, eapable of receiving the largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating cranes,

foundry, and amply equipped shops, employing about 1,100 men, provide the means of making prac-tically any kind of marine repairs.Ample space exists at either terminal of the Canal for the berthing of vessels, as well as large

covered piers for the storage of cargo. These are modern structures, fireproof, ratproof, in splendidcondition, well lighted and maintained in a clean and orderly condition.

In general, the services to shipping at the Canal are such as have been developed and found ampleand effective in the course of handling large traffic through the Canal in over 11 years of operaiion.

Information from American Consuls.The Consular officers of the United States at seaports all over the world are ex oficio representatives

of The Panama Canal for the purpose of furnishing information to shipping and allied interests as toconditions, charges, etc., at the Panama Canal affecting the operation of ships. The current publicationsof The Panama Canal of interest to shipping are furnished to the Consular officers and filed for reference.

It is not desired that inquiries of a .general nature be addressed to the Consular officers, or that theybe burdened with requests which should be made direct to The Panama Canal; but ships' operators whomay not be sufficiently advised as to charges, supplies, facilities, etc., at the Canal will often save timeby applying to the nearest American Consul.


All of the Panama Canal notices to mariners, notices to steamship lines, and general circulars ofinterest to shipping in its relation to the Canal are published in The P.vvi.^m.^ Can.u, Record. Forthis reason it is considered unnecessary to make a separate general distribution away from the Isthmusof such notices and circulars to those receiving The P.\nam.\ C.-vnal Record. Shipping interestsare advised to look for them in this paper, which is supplied to them without charge.

Slide Movements.

A portion of the west bank of Gaillard Cut near Culebra loosened

on June 17, and about 10,000 cubic yards of earth and rock slid towardthe Canal. Further movement occurred on June 20, and as the result

of both about 20,000 cubic yards of material have slipped into the

Canal. The 15-yard dipper dredge Gamboa has been set at removingthe material from the channel.

Cucaracha slide, on the other bank of the Cut and directly southof Gold Hill, started to move in the night of June 19. The entire

area of the slide, about 45 acres, was involved. The slide was still

moving during the morning of June 22, at the rate of about | foot

per hour. About 90,000 cubic yards, mostly rock, have moved into

the safety basin at the foot of the slide, with only 8,000 cubic yardsreaching the Canal channel.

These slides will not cause any interference with navigation.

Loss of Right to Annuity for TotalDisability*

The Panam.^ Canal, Executive Office,

Balboa Heights, C. Z., June 17, 1927,

To all concerned.— 1. The following circular,issued by the Civil Service Commission on May23, 1927, concerning loss of right to annuity fortotal disability under the Retirement Act, is

Quoted for the information and guidance of all

concerned

:

^

"The Retirement .\ct of July 3, 1926, containsthe following provision in Section 6, DisabilityRetirement:

'No claim shall be allowed under theprovisions of this section unless the applica-tion for retirement shall have been executedprior to the applicant's separation from theservice or within six months thereafter.'"The Act of May 22, 1920, contained no such

limitation.

"This Commission knows of ailing employeeswho did not apply for disability annuity withinsLx months following their separation; and thereis reason to suppose that such cases will occurunder the restriction of July 3, 1916. Ern-ployees resign on advice of their superiors or their

physicians, in an effort to regain their health;or may be dropped for unsatisfactory service ornonattendance due to ill health; and not know,until they have lost it, that they had eligibility

for disability annuity."Fre<iuent changes of personnel ofTiccrs, who

may be no more familiar with the restriction

than the employees themselves, increase this

danger."The Commission calls attention to the matter

without offering any suggestion for avertingit except, possibly, by the widest practicable

publicity, or by urging repeal of the restriction."

Entered as second-class matter February 6, 1918, at the Post Officeat Cristobal,- C. Z., under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Cer<j,^cate.-By direction of the Governor of The Panama Canal the mattei contained herein is published as statisticalmformation and is required for the proper transaction of the public business.

Volume XX. Balboa Heights, C. Z., June 29, 1927. No. 47.

Slide Movements.

The sh"de from the west bank of Gaillard Cut near Culebra, whichbegan June 17, resulted in a total of about 35,000 cubic yards of earthand rock being deposited in the Canal. Twenty-five thousand cubicyards of this have been removed. It is expected that the remainderwill be taken out this week.Cucaracha slide, w^hich started to move the night of June 19,

stopped its movement entirely on June 27. During the time it was inmotion, a total of 115,000 cubic yards, mostly Vock, slid into theCanal, 105,000 of which wâs caught in the safety basin, with only10,000 reaching the channel. The channel has been cleaned, and thedredge is now^ working in the safety basin, having removed 43,900 cubicyards to date.

Navigation wâs not impeded by either slide.

Record Rains in San Bias Region of Panama.

The rainfall record for May, 1927, furnished to the Section ofSurveys, by the San Bias Development Corporation from its stationat Nicuesa in the San Bias area of Panama, shows an unusual amountof rain for that month and sets a new high record for rain in one day.The daily record shows 12.42 inches at Nicuesa on May 20. The

previous high amount is for October 23, 1923, w^hen 12.25 inches wasrecorded at the Gatun station.

Rain fell every day, except two, during the month. The total forthe month was 56.33 inches. This has been exceeded only once on theIsthmus since records have been kept; that was when 58.17 inches ofram fell at Porto Bello during December, 1909.A comparison of the above figures with some of the records in other

parts of the wôrld is interesting. The Literary Digest of June 18,1927, gives the following, taken from "Why the Weather," a scienceservice feature (Washington)

:

"The world's record for a 24-hour rainfall is held by Baguio, Philippine Islands,where 46 inches of ram fell from noon. July 14, to noon, July 15, 1911. Cherrapuniim the Khasi Hills of Assam, which has the reputation of being the wettest spot inthe world, had a 41-inch rainfall July 14, 1876. At the same place, in August 184130 incnes or more of ram fell on each of 5 successive days. The record 24-hour

"ô. ''i°''**^'^ United .States is 23.11 inches at Taylor, Texas, September 9-10

1921. * * * At Porto Bello, November 29, 1911, an automatic rain-gaugeregistered the extraordinary amount of 2.47 inches in 3 minutes."

Some idea of the effect of a heavy rainfall may be draw-n from thestatement that in May, 1927, a local 14-inch rainfall at New Orleans,La., so flooded the city that the newspapers reported erroneouslythat the levees had broken.


CANAL WORK IN MAY, 1927.


War, of Canal work in the month of May. 1927:



Sir: I have the honor to suTomit the following report covering operations of TheTanama Canal during the month of May, 1927:

remains as a record year for tolls. However, the fiscal year 1927,is the second largest since the opening of the Canal with respect to this

item and is the second 12-month period in which tolls have exceeded$24,000,000.From the opening of the Panama Canal to traffic August 15, 1914,

to the close of business on June 30, 1927, a total of 40,377 commercialvessels have transited the Canal, paying $166,363,228.06 in tolls.

The Governor of The Panama Canal, in referring to the year'straffic, stated:

"The employees operating the Panama Canal are of course gratified at the splendiduse which the world's shipping is making of the Canal, and a1> the business-like returnon its investment which the nation is earning. We look forward to continued growthof the traffic and to care for it have made recommendations to the Government for

prompt beginning of the additional water storage reservoir at Alhajuela, which will

be necessary possibly within a few years in order to have ample water for navigationduring the dry season. This need was explained in my last annual report and has alsobeen explained before committees of Congress."

Commercial Traffic in June, 1927, and Fiscal Year 1927.

During the month of June, 455 commercial vessels and 15 smalllaunches transited the Canal. Tolls on the commercial vessels aggre-gated $1 ,970,377.97, and on the launches $136, or a total tolls collection

of $1,970,513.97.

The daily average number of transits during the month wasl5. 16,and the average tolls collection $65,679.26. The average amount oftolls paid by each of the commercial transits was $4,330.50, as com-pared with $4,385.41 for the month of May.

New Commissary Plant.

Construction of a new warehouse, checking-in shed and General

Manager's office for the Commissary Division at Mount Hope is well

under way. The plans provide for a 3-story warehouse, 483 feet by 123

feet, checking-in shed, 120 feet by 70 feet, and an office, 80 feet by 60

feet. The cost of the entire project, including design, roads, tracks,

equipment, elevators, furniture, etc., is estimated at 81,096,091.

The warehouse will house a new modern bakery, coffee roasting and

packing plant, and the wholesale groceries, dry goods, hardware, and

shoe departments of the commissary. When completed, all of the

wholesale, shipping and distributing units will be concentrated at

Mount Hope.It is intended to assign the concrete warehouse at Cristobal, occu-

pied at present by the Commisssary Division, to The Panama Canal

Press, after remodeling the building for use as a printing plant.

United States Intercoastal Traffic by Commodities for May, 1927.


the United States intercoastal trade, segregated by commodities and

by direction, with the totals for May, 1927, and the totals for May,1926, and 1925. Cargo statistics are compiled from cargo declarations

submitted by masters of vessels, and in these declarations small

items are frequently grouped under the designation of " General Cargo."

These statistics are accordingly not precise but they are indicative

of the kind and quantity of the cargo in transit through the Canal.

The figures represent tons of 2,240 pounds, and are for the United

States intercoastal trade only:

628 THE PANAMA CANAL RI-XORD

Fifty-Ton Derrick for Cristobal Terminal.

A 5()-ton steel, stiffleg derrick has been purchased from the Ameri-can Hoist & Derrick Co. for installation at the outer end of Dock No. 8,

Cristobal. The derrick has a nominal capacity of 50 net tons of

2,000 pounds each at a 90-foot radius, an "A" frame type boom, 108

feet from center to center of pins, and mast of "A" frame construction,

71 feet between bearings. The hook may be lowered to a point

50 feet below base of mast. The stilflegs are 94 feet from center to

center of pins and are spaced 90 degrees apart, allowing boom to

swing through an arc of 256 degrees. The hoist will be operated by a

crane-type motor, rated 80 horsepower at 750 R. P. M. The slewing

will be accomplished independently of hoisting, the gearing of the

slewer beijig directl)' connected to a reversible crane-type motor,

rated 25 horsepower at 750 R. P. M. Motors will operate on 25-

cycle, 3-phase, 220-volt current.

The total estimated cost, covering purchase of derrick, footings,

erection, electrical work and transformer room is 838,500. It is

expected that the derrick will be installed, ready for use in about6 weeks.

Heretofore, the Cristobal Terminal has been handicapped in the

handling of heavy pieces of cargo, weighing over 25 tons, or beyondthe capacity of the ships' hoists. For this work it has been necessar>-

to use the Mechanical Division crane or crane barge No. 157, a methodsubject to delays and increase in cost of handling.

The Panama Canal is equipped with all the facilities for the fueling, supply, and repair of ships



1,500 tons an hour, practically as fast as it can be handled in ships' bunkers. Oil can be delivered

as fast as the ships can take it. from 30 tanks aggregating approximately ,1,536,500 barrels of storage


The ships' chandlery storehouses carry a wide variety of marine supplies and spare parts. Ttie

commissary stores sell foodstuffs, fresh meats, fruits, and vegetables, as well as clothing and a general

line of goods for supplying about 30.000 people resident on the Isthmus. Ice plants, a large laundry,


A 1,000-foot dry dock, capable of recei\'ing the largest ships built, a smaller dry dock, floating cranes



Ample space exists at either terminal of the Canal for the berthing of vessels, as well as large

covered piers for the storage of cargo. These are modern structures, fireproof, ratproof. in splendid

condition, well lighted and maintained in a clean and orderly condition.In general, the aen-ices to shipping at the Canal are such as have been developed and found amplr

Launching of Hulls of Diesel Electric Tugs.

The hulls of two new tugs Chagres and Trinidad, which are being

built at Balboa by the Mechanical Division of The Panama Canal,

were launched last week. The Chagres was launched in the afternoon

of July 8, and the Trinidad the morning of July 9. Both hulls were lifted

from their cradles alongside the 1,000-foot dry dock and lowered into

the water of the dry dock by the 250-ton cranes Ajax and Hercules,

working together. The Ajax was taken out of the dry dock after the

launching of the Trinidad had been completed. The Hercules was left

there for dry docking for repairs to the hull.

The two new tugs are 125 feet long by 28 feet beam and will drawapproximately 14| feet of water when completed. The tugs will bedriven by electricity generated b}^ Diesel engines, will have living

accommodations aboard for 6 "gold" or American men and 24 "silver"

or tropical employees, and will have a fuel supply sufficient for 21 daysat sea, giving a cruising radius of 6,000 nautical miles. A general

description of the tugs was published in The Panama Canal Recordof December 1, 1926.

Decreased Depths Off West Coast of Central America Reported.

The following appeared in the Hydrographic Bulletin No. 197v3 of

June 29, 1927, under the heading of "Central America":

"Costa Rica, Decreased Depths Reported, Caution.—On May 8, 1927, the Americansteamer Jacob Liickenbach was stranded on rocks about | of a mile offshore, in (ap-proximately) lat. 10° 07' 00" N., long. 85° 49' 1,^" W., having been set inside her courseby the current. The ship remained on the rocks from May 8 to May 17, during all

of which time the wind did not exceed a force of to 1. At high water only a fewblack rocks were visible along the coast a short distance from shore, but at low watera continuous heavy southwest swell was breaking on the coral reefs from i to Ijmiles offshore from Cape Velas to Guionos Point Reef.

"Soundings taken by vessels engaged in salvage work revealed the existence of pin-nacles having a depth of 30 feet over them approximately 2 miles outside the strandedvessel.

"Alongside the vessel there was a rock having a depth of 3 feet at low water."CAUTION.—Deep-draft vessels should not approach within 3 miles of the coast

between Cape V'elas and Guionos Point, and should guard against being set to theeastward."

The above was included in Panama Canal Notice to Mariners No.274, issued July 9, 1927.

The Panama Canai Record, I-alboa Heights, Canal Zone, or


Entered as second-class matter February 0, 1918. at the Post Cfiice

at Cri.:tcba!, C. Z., under the Act of March 3, 1879.

Certificate.—hy direction of the Governor of The Panama Canal the matter contained herein is published as statistical

information and is required for the proper transaction of the pub'.ic business.


Radio Repairs lor Vessels.

As a part of its provision of facilities for practically any class of re-

pairs to vessels, The Panama Canal is prepared to do radio repair workfor any vessel requesting it. The Electrical Division generallyemploys one mechanic qualified to make repairs on radio equipmentand at present has two such in the organization. There are also in

stock some supplies for this class of repair work. With these facilities

the organization has been able to make such repairs as have beenrequested, and it is believed that if there should arise cases whichcould not be handled satisfactorily they would be exceptional.The charges for this work are formulated definitely on cost of material

and labor, plus the duly published surcharges. ' Attention of steam-ship operators and masters is invited to a factor which may increasethe charge for labor, and that is that quite generally the mechanichandling radio repairs is required to board the vessel and travel throughthe Canal and this always results in overtime pay and in travel timecharges to account for his return to his place of usual employment.When this occurs it may result in a charge for 10 or 12 hours of laboralthough the time requried to perform the actual work may be con-siderably less, but under present operating conditions it is a circum-stance which is unavoidable.

' Present surcharges are 40 per cent on labor, plus 10 per cent on material and labor as surcharged 40 per cent.

Yawl "M. F. Benefit" Sunk by Collision Off Cristobal.

The American steamship Castletown, owned and operated by theCharles Nelson Co., and the M. F. Benefit, a British yawl, owned andoperated by Augustus Britton of Corn Island, Nicaragua, collided

outside of the breakwaters of Cristobal Harbor on July 15, 1927,at a point about If miles North 33 degrees East from the East Break-water Light. The M. F. Benefit, which carried a crew of 8 men and5 passengers, sank within an hour. Ten of the people aboard her werethrown into the water by the collision. All were saved except aseaman, Charles Downs, Nicaraguan, who was drowned in tryingto rescue a woman passenger.

The Castletown, en route from Los Angeles to New York, passedthrough the Canal on July 15 and afterfueling at Cristobal, clearedfor sea at 5.35 p. m. The M. F. Benefit cleared from Colon for Blue-fields, Nicaragua, at 5.45 p. m. The collision occurred outside of

Canal waters after the dropping of the Canal pilot from the Castletown,which struck the yawl in the stern.

The wreck of the M. F. Benefit has been marked as a menace tonavigation and will be removed shortly.

French Tug Transits Canal Free of Tolls.

The French tug Nembrou, operated by the Societe Anonyne le

Nickel, transited the Canal on July 2, 1927, en route from Dunkirk,France, to New Caledonia. Owing to the large ratio of machineryspace in relation to gross tonnage of this vessel, as is true of most tugs,it transited free of tolls. Under the present method of assessing tolls

the charge for vessels in ballast is 72 cents per net ton, Panama Canalmeasurement, with the proviso that the sum total shall not exceed$1.25 per net ton as determined under the rules for measurement forregistry in the United States. In admeasuring the Nembrou whichtransited in ballast, it was found that the propelling power space,increased by 75 per cent of itself, together with all other legitimatedeductions for crew, navigation spaces, etc., comprised a sum of de-ductions greater than the gross tonnage which, from a mathematicalstandpoint, occasioned a negative tonnage. In consequence of thiscondition, the Panama Canal net tonnage times 72 cents was greaterthan the maximum allowed (zero x $1.25) and hence no tolls werecollectable.

Similar free transits had occurred before in the case of some Britishtugs.


Panama Canal Storehouses carry a complete line of ships' chandlery supplies,available for sale to ships at C. 1. F. cost, plus 25 per cent surcharge which coverslocal freight, handling, aaf other costs.

Tanker Traffic Through the Panama Canal in June, 1927.

During the month of June, 109 tank ships transited the Canal, with

an aggregate net tonnage, Panama Canal measurement, of 595,946,

on which tolls of sS5 19,992.37 were collected. In point of net tonnage,

tanker traffic for the past month showed an increase of approximately1.8 per cent over the same traffic for the corresponding month a year

ago, while cargo tonnage showed a decrease of approximately 4.4 per

cent under the same tonnage of June, 1926.

CANAL WORK IN JUNE, 1927.


War, of Canal work in the month of June, 1927:



Washington, D. C.

Sir: I have the honor to submit the following report of The Panama Canalfor the month of June, 1927, which closes the fiscal year ending June 30, 1927

:

CANAL TRAFFIC FOR FISCAL YEAR.

The fiscal year 1927 was the thirteenth fiscal year of Canal operation. The numberof vessels transiting the Canal, and the revenue collected in tolls for the year were as

follows

:

If the 597 noncommercial vessels that transited the Canal during the year had paid

tolls at commercial rates, the revenue from tolls would have been increased approxi-

mately as follows:

United States Government vessels

All others

Total

$1,275,996.0520,666.89

1,296,662.94

The 5,475 commercial vessels carried 27,748,215 long tons of cargo, and 597 non-commercial vessels carried 228,740 long tons, making a total cargo through the Canalfor the year of 27,976,955 long tons, or an average of 2,331,413 tons per month.The fiscal year ending 1927 established new records for the number of transits

and for the amount of cargo carried, the previous records of 5,420 transits and27,586,051 tons of cargo having been established in the calendar year 1926.

A comparison of the commercial trafific passing through the Canal during the

fiscal year 1927 with that for the fiscal year 1926 shows the following: An increase of

278, or 5.4 per cent, in number of transits; an increase of §1,297,774.13, or 5.7 per

cent, in tolls; and an increase of 1,710,767 tons, or 6.6 per cent in cargo.

Dyed Gasoline.

As an experimental proposition to restrict the misuse of gasoline,The Panama Canal will color all of its gasoline green in the near futurewith a special dye solution purchased for this purpose from one of theleading oil companies. One gallon of this dye will color 1,500 gallonsof gasoline a suitable shade of green so that it can be easily identified.The coloring solution will not change the quality of the gasoline.

Canal Traffic During July—New Record for Transits.

During the month of July, 1927, 509 commercial vessels and 16 small

launches transited the Canal. Tolls on the commercial vessels aggre-

gated $2,215,515.99, including $3,400.54 collected on a supplemental

bill for a transit in a previous month, and on the launches, $141.51,

or a total tolls collection of $2,215,657.50.


month was 16.42, and the daily average tolls collection, $71,358.56.


was $4,346, as compared with $4,330.50 for the month of June, 1927.

In these averages the $3,400.54 supplemental collection is not included.

With respect to the number of commercial transits, July was the

largest month since the opening of the Canal, the former record being

506 made during December, 1923, and March, 1926. The tolls

collection on these 509 transits was the fourth highest in the history

of the Canal, being exceeded by December, 1923, January, 1924, and

March, 1926.

In the following tabulation the number of commercial transits and

the amount of tolls collected are shown for the first 7 months of the

current calendar year, with the daily average of transits and tolls:

Notice to Mariners—Removal of Sunken Yawl.



The yawl M. F. Benefit, lately sunk near Colon Harbor, North 33° East true. If miles

from the East Breakwater Light, has been removed.

Since some cargo is still scattered about, the site is temporarily marked by a small

globular buoy, and the black and red obstruction buoy removed.

No menace to navigation now exists at this site.
