OIL ON THE WATERS.
The Waves Gained and Storms Sub.
dued by Proper Use of Grease.

National Associated Press to the Star
NEW YORK, June 1S.-The Tribune to-day says
Pouring oil on the troubled waters is generally
regarded by sea captains more as fine sentiment
than as practical hint to be observed In times Of
danger; but us far back as l77O
Dutch East Indian trader claimed
to have been saved from shpwreck on a treacher-
Gus reef by pouring on the sea jar of olive OIL
Later another instance was recorded, in which
vessel having been wrecked in a hurricane, cask
of lamp oil, which was kept in a small boat, be-
came broken and so quieted the sea in
the immediate vicinity that most of
the crew succeeded in getting to an
Island near by Now Capt Jarman, of the four
mastcd ship Romsdal, tells of a number of cases
wherein oil saved vessels He says that on his last
V, wage and while in the middle of the Atlantic
he encountered violent hurricane with a terrific
sea, which lasted about twenty-four hours. The
broke over the stern and threatened to swamp
his vessel He poured three gallons of oil over
each quarter and the effect he said, was magical.
The waves, although remaining at the same
height no longer broke over the stem but for
several yards around where the oil had spread
upon the water there was apparently calm. The
ship, thus relieved from the tremendous shock of
heavy seas breaking over her, the danger was con-
slderably lessened.
