Miss Mary Harriman, eldest daughter of E. H. Harriman, has taken one of
her father’s Erie ferryboats and turned it into a man-o’-peace to fight
tuberculosis. She has presented the boat to the Brooklyn Committee on the
Prevention of Tuberculosis and the Brooklyn Red Cross Society.
It will go into commission as a part of the Red Cross Navy on July 1,
when its flag will fly over an anchorage off Brooklyn.
Hammocks, steamer chairs, and other conveniences of out-in-the-air
sleeping will be arranged for the accommodation of 300 men, women and
children. Three meals a day will be served on the boat.
