           [26]

              Buffalo Shipbuilder Dies
              
              BENJAMIN L. COWLES of Buffalo, 67,
            died of heart disease while asleep in
            the McAlpin hotel, New York, on Nov.
            26.  His lifeless body was found by
            Chairman T. V. O'CONNOR of the ship-
            ping board, his lifelong friend, who
            had an appointment with him. MR.
            COWLES was well known as a builder
            of dry docks and tugboats and was
            the son of THEODORE COWLES, well
            known shipbuilder. At the time of his
            death he was president of the COWLES
            LENAHAN Drydock Co. and the COWLES
            Towing Co. and also had a sand and
            gravel business. During the World
            war he was engaged in the work of
            cutting shipping board vessels in two
            for passage through the St. Lawrence.
            The steamer Northland was one of the
            Great Lakes vessels which he cut
            in two at Buffalo, took through the
            canal and reassembled at Quebec for
            convey service.
