now of but little Importance, except so far
rs it mry elicit facts and suggestions, that
maybe useful in future exigencies. In this
view the following commune alton which ap-
pears in the New Y ork Herald, is worthy of
attention:
The Arctic might have Teen saved by
simply running her stern foremost. Here
gre the facts: Water, f,ar feet below its
surfsce, PUSHES into an ad5utsge with vel
ocity of is feet per second; at five feet, Is
feet; ate feet,20 feet per second, &c: con-
sequently, the Arctic, when running With
her open bow first, at the rate of ten knots
an hour-equsl ITO l6 feet per second-would
double the velocity OF a leak IL the depth of
four feet; at eleven knots, depth of feet;
and at twelve knots, depth of 6 feet, &c
On the contrary, had she been put under
-"stern way" at the rate often knots an hour,
her velocity would have been equal to the
velocity of the leak at the depth OF four feet;
ut eleven knots, five feet; and NJ twelve
knots, feet, &c. 1t IS clear, therefore, had
she been put under "stern way" il would
. have brought the leak under the control of
