schooner Haines; Captain Mitchell, OF
the British steamer Mentmore, and
Captain Baxter, of the bark Nathan
Hayward. In view of these facts the
chief photographer urges the import
ance of carrying supply of animal or
vegetable oil, and he requests to be in
formed of the results of such expert
ments whenever tried. He has been
notified by the British and Foreign In
surance Company that in accordance
with their instructions, all the cattle
boats from New York, and to a large
extent from other ports, are carrying
oil bags for use in heavy gales. The
says: During recent passage from
Boston to London we encountered a
terrific westerly storm which drove up
the sea to an enormous height. With
the vessel nearly down to her loading
marks and deck load of two hundred
head of cattle, to heave to would have
been impossible, our only resource
lay in running, but on account of the
heavy breaking of the sea this was rem
dered extremely dangerous. 1t was
then resolved. upon to use oil, and o
canvas bag containing oakum saturated
with linseed oil was hung out on either
quarter in the waist. The effect
seemed to be instantaneous, and the
most dangerous breaker was trans
formed into comparatively harmless
swell. - Washington Critic.
