FOREST AND STREAM. 
847 
Achelous. 
Designed and built by F. S. Nock, East 
Greenwich, R. I., for E. P. Lawson, of New 
York city. Length over all, 75 feet; length 
waterline, 70 feet; breadth, extreme, 13 feet; 
draft, 4 feet. 
She is a twin-screw yacht, power plant com¬ 
prising two Murray & 'Tregurtha 4-cylinder 6}4 
x8-inch engines, turning 450 revolutions per 
minute and developing a speed of n nautical 
miles per hour. These engines were equipped 
with three sets of ignition batteries, Holtzer- 
Cabot low-tension magneto with make and 
break, also Bosch low-tension magneto and 
magnetic plugs. The arrangement is such that 
by shifting a lever, the make and break system 
is thrown out of gear and the Bosch magnetic 
plugs operate, thus eliminating the noise of the 
sparker rods, etc. Mechanical oilers and every 
attachment possible has been placed on these 
engines in order to insure their running under 
all conditions. 
The construction of the boat is rather heavy, 
the keel being sided 7 inches, as also the stem, 
stern crook, deadwood, etc. The frames are of 
Connecticut white oak, sided 2 inches, moulded 
2 j 4 inches at the heel and 2 inches at the head. 
The planking, finished 1 J 4 inches thick, is of 
yellow pine, single thickness below waterline, 
double above. The bilge clamps are of yellow 
pine, 2x63/2 inches. Deck clamps and shelves 
are of the same material, respectively 2x734 
inches and 2x4 inches. 
The keelson is made up of two pieces of yel¬ 
low pine, 3x8 inches. The sister keelsons, two 
on each side, of yellow pine, 2x15 inches, 35 
feet long. These form part of the engine bed. 
i'he beds are of oak, sided 4 inches. Besides 
being skin fitted and fastened through tile 
frames and floors, etc., they are securely bolted 
to the sister keelson and cross bearers. 
The bulkheads at each end of the engine 
room are built of two thicknesses of yellow 
pine laid diagonally with flannel between same, 
then riveted through and through. On each 
side they are again covered with cypress stav- 
ing, J4-inch thick. 
The main deck beams are of oak, sided 234 
inches, moulded 334 inches. The plank of the 
raised deck is cypress 1 Y & inches thick, covered 
with canvas. The main deck plank is of white 
pine, ijbt inches thick. The planksheer, water¬ 
ways, etc., are of mahogany. The trunk sides 
are framed and finished throughout in ma¬ 
hogany with swinging sash. The pilot house 
is finished in mahogany with drop sash. All 
the exterior bright work is of mahoganv, with 
the exception of the rubstreak, which is teak. 
The joinerwork of the interior is rather 
heavy, the majority of the rails and stiles of 
the panelwork being 134 inches thick. 
A glance at the accommodation plan shows 
the general arrangement of the interior. There 
is a large chain locker in the forepeak, and aft 
is the crew s toilet with hanging space for 
clothes. The forecastle is arranged with two 
transoms, pipe berths, mess table, racks, etc. 
There is a step down from the forecastle floor 
to the passageway leading to the captain’s 
stateroom and under the dining saloon. Be¬ 
tween the captain's stateroom and the forecastle 
on the port side is a sink. The other side of the 
passageway is a series of lockers for storage. 
1 he galley, 5 feet fore and aft, and the entire 
width of the boat, is of ample proportions. At 
the forward end of the galley and situated under 
the dining saloon is a large ice-box. A dresser 
runs the length of the port side and half across 
the width of the boat. A shipmate’s stove with 
a hot-water tank, dish lockers, provision lock¬ 
ers. etc., are also there, as is usual in a galley 
of this size. The meals can be served direct 
to the dining room from the galley without 
going across the deck. 
The dining saloon, which is forward of the 
galley, is about 12 feet in length. There is a 
large sideboard at the after end, with leaded 
glass doors. In the lower part of the sideboard 
is an alcove with a faucet for ice water, the 
water being fed to same by gravity, after pass¬ 
ing through a coil in the ice-box below. * There 
is ample room on the transoms for two persons 
to sleep if desired, and taken altogether, the 
dining saloon makes a very desirable lounging 
place when one does not want to be exposed to 
the elements, as the large glass windows admit 
of a view in either direction. 
Aft of the galley is the engine room with the 
two Murray & Tregurtha engines, independent 
direct-connected generator set, switchboard, 
pumps, gas tanks, etc. Ample ventilation is 
provided in this compartment by a large trap 
in the stack and also ventilating cowls in either 
side of same. 
Aft of the engine room is the owner’s 
quarters. There is a large stateroom at the 
after end, fitted with a double berth, divan, 
bureau, desk, wardrobes, folding lavatory, etc. 
Directly opposite the companionway on the 
port side is a bathroom containing a 5-foot 
bathtub, toilet, lavatory, linen lockers, etc. Be¬ 
tween the companionway and the owner’s state¬ 
room there is a large clothes-press. 
The guests’ staterooms are at the forward end, 
one on each side. These rooms are fitted with 
berth, bureau, wardrobe, folding lavatory, etc., 
and are of ample dimensions. 
The general finish of the after quarters is 
mahogany throughout and the furnishings, 
draperies, etc., are a suitable shade of green.
