POURED OIL ON THE WATERS.
A British ship Captain Gains the Waves
and Saves His shin.

Britisi ship Captain Gains the Waves
and Saves His ship.
New YORK, Dec. 2S.-Capt John F. Free
man, of the British steamship Benlarig, re-
ports remarkable instance Of the successful
use of oil for calming waves. His vessel had
been driven across a reef off Cape Trafalgar,
and was disabled. The wind blew terrific
gale. The heavy sea rolling in was partly
broken by the reef, and the ship lay sur
rounded by a confused mass of breakers,
: shipping water on all sides. The lifeboats
and everything movable were washed away,
and the decks were continually swept by the
seas. Capt Freeman says that he thought
his ship was going down.
Seventy-fiyo Gallons Did the Work.
As a last resort he opened the hold and got
up two barrels of linseed oil, which he used
with magical effect. The oil was distributed
from the forward closet-Dowls in the usual
manner. Attemps were made to use oil bags
from the forecastle, but they We're washed
and blown in board and were of but little
use. The effect of the oil was instantly felt
and from that time the ship was perfectly
dry with the exception of a little spray
which came over the bow. The Benlarig re
manned in that position for four days, until
the gale subsidized, when she was towed from
the reef into Gibraltar. Upon examination
it was found that forty-four frames had been
crushed and broken by pounding upon ting
reef. The total amount of oil used was about
seventy-five gallons, but this was much
more than was really necessary, as in the
emergency economy was not considered in
any way and oil was freely used. Capt
Freeman says that his ship, cargo and the
lives Of officers and crew were undoubtedly
saved by the use Of oil, and he most earnest
ly recommends its use to vessels at anchor on
a lee shore
