INFLUENCE OF FLIES on NAvIGATTOS.-On a
certain occasion, as one of Uncle Sans big
ships was approaching Malta with nine-knot
breeze, the commodore suddenly appeared
upon deck, and gave orders to trace the yards
sharp, and lay her close to the wind. After
sthe slight confusion incident to the execution
of this order had subsidized, the commodore
produced his chart, and showed the officers
that had they continued their course twenty
minutes longer, they would have been upon a
rock there laid down, and the more dangerous
because Of its position directly in the track of
vessels bound from the Levant to Malta The
next morning there was gale from the north
ward and eastward, which lasted for several
days, and blew them so far from their course
that they were three weeks in beating
to windward. However, they had finally
reached Malta. having suffered DO other
Inconvenience than from a short supply of wa
ter. Upon stating their narrow escape to
a REFER of the MedOra, seventy-fOur, they
Were ridiculed exceedingly, and further, the
existence Of ''the rock denied. The chart,
one of Biunt's, was produced, and closer in
spection showed that the spot the commodore
had taken for the rock, and so carefully avoid
ed, was laid down by an innocent fly.E
