At twenty-five she feels the need of art

THAT TRICKY GULF STREAM.
It's Current Retarded or Accelerated
by she Wind


/ by the Wind
The officers OF the steamship Ar
danacli. which arrived from Progreso
Mex CO, on Thursday. are not the only
ones who have had occasion 10 find
fault with the gulf stream in the last
week. The Steamer Eureka. from New
Orleans. passed along about the same
course rs the Ardanach and noticed
shat the current of the gulf stream had
almost ceased during part of the
passage. and at one time observed
sudden difference in temperature.
Similar reports have often been made
before the Uuited States branch hydro
graphic office in the Maritime Ex-
change.
Lieut.. V. L. Cottman, who is in
charge of the Office. pulled out num-
Der of reports from captains for the
last few DAYS and showed how they
had met strong northeast and nortbcr-
ly winds. and this was the cause of the
retardation of the current Lieut..
Pillsbury, who had spent much time in
studying the gulf stream, had found
this to happen often. That the wind
so affected the surface of the water had
been shown by the drifting of wrecks.
The gulf stream was rather uncertain.
and on account of this the government
charts of the stream had been taken of,
as the limits of the current could not
be defined with certainty. Capt Gar
win of the steamer Orinoco, who for
years sailed over the gulf stream. has
held that the speed of the current can
never be relied upon. An oppos te
wind retarded the current or the sur
face of the current, while a south
westerly wind accelerated it. Cross
winds had no effect upon it.
During the coming winter the Unit
ed States vessel Blake, under command
of Lieut.. j. E. Pillsbnry, will continue
to investigate the gulf stream currents,
and valuable report is expected
therefrom. She will anchor 500 miles
northeast of Barbados Island during
January and first part of February, and
will be in the track of South Atlantic
vessels bound to the United States.
The last part of February and until
May she will be between the West
India Islands beginning at Trinidad
and ending at the cold Bahama chan
mel. When at anchor she will hoist
three balls from the fore-topmast stay,
and at night will show three lights
red, white and blue. Shipmasters
when in her vicinity are requested to
look out for her and keep clear of her.
1t is expected that Lieut. Philsbury's
report will be of value to mariners,
and that something little more fixed |
will be determined in regard to the
gulf stream current. --NeU York |
Times.
