HEMP RUDDER. John L. Dmmock, ESQ.
President of the Warren Insurance COMPANY.
of Boston, has received from Capt. J. G. Law
ton, at present master of ship Statira Morse.
the model OF the rudder which was construct
ed by him. and attached to the ship Warren.
while on her passage from Glasgow to New
York during the last winter. This rudder has
attracted much attention in New York, where
the insurance companies invited shipmasters
to inspect it. The " arren. it will be recollect-
ed, sailed from Glasgow heavily loaded with
iron, and when 81 days out, having experience
ed heavy weather, she lost her rudder. and for
10 days drifted with the wind, during which
time Capt. Lawton constructed rudder of
hemp cable. and attached it 10 the vessel. with
which he steered his ship to New York in So
days, making the passage in 100 DAYS. This
rudder Is OF simple construction, and made of
materials which are to be found on every YES
sci, and every vessel sustaining similar acct
dent, can easily supply herself with one. The
common course of shipmasters under similar
circumstances, would have been TO put back,
thereby occasoning great loss, or to construct
a temporary rudder OF spars, which are some
times almost wholly inefficient But Capt.
Lawton, with perseverance and skill which
won the hearty appreciation of the owners of
the vessel at the time, by the exercise of
good share ofingenuity secceeded in bringing
his ship to port. The model of this rudder
may be examined by all interested, at the Mer-
chants Exchange.-JOUrnal.
