The National tribune., 1889-02-28

EDITOR NATIONAL tribune: desire to
call your attention to the fact that the railroads
in this State advertising excursion rates to
Washington for the coming inaugural, besides
fixing good stiff fare, are limiting their ex
cursion tickets to from five to eight days for
the round trip. In all probability the crowded
condition of the roads will require nearly two
days to make the trip and one to return, leay-
ing but two days for the excursionists to spend
in Washington who buys ive-day trip ticket.
In view of the generous donations of Washing
ton citizens toward this inaugural and the
fat fare, it seems to me the railroads are not
doing the fair thing by either Washington or
the excursiOnists What sane person desires
spending two or three days on crowded trains
and two or three days in crowded streets
There is limit to human endurance; we have
citizens who could, perhaps, go through this
ordeal and survive but they are engaged in
putting up ice, cutting cord-wood, mauling
rails or some other outdoor occupation, and in
all probability will not attend the inaugural.
Try and get limit that will enable one to
witness the inaugural ceremonies, do Washing
ton, and take short rest before starting home.

The use of on to still the Waves.

Under the above title Lieut. w. H. Beehler
contributes to the March Century an account of
the experiments made with oil in rough water
We quote the following account of two rescues:
The Captain Of the ship Martha Cobb, loaded
with petroleum, fell in with sinking vessel
during heavy gale in the North Atlantic in
December, 1885, The signal made stated the
vessel was sinking and that all her boats hat
been stove. The Martha Cobb had lost her
large boats her bulwarks washed out and
decks swept in the same storm the only boat
left was small 16-foot dingey. which could
not possibly live in the sea that was then run
ming. The Captain says he was puzzled, and
lay by for some hours hoping that the gale
would moderate; but as there was no appear
ance Of better weather aud night coming on, he
decided to make an attempt to rescue the crew
of the sinking vessel. The Martha Cobb had 3
cargo of petroleum, some of which leaked, and
the Captain had noticed that the sea in the
wake of the ship was much smoother when the
pumps were worked.
He signaled to the other vessel to haul by
the wind while he luffed to get to windward,
and at the same time started the pumps; but
the ship drifted faster than the oil, and while
the oil made the sea comparatively smooth to
windWard, it did not cover the sea leeward.
He then ran down across the other vessels s
stern, hauled up close under her lee and start
ed the pumps again; at the same time also he
emptled nVe-gallon can OF hsh oil down
the scuppers. The effect was magical. In 20
minutes the sea between and around the YES
sells was broken down. The long, heavy swell
remained, but the combers and breaking seas
were all gone. The little dingey, with three
men, had no difficulty in pulling to windward,
and the crew were saved. The boat was deeply
loaded and did not ship any water, although the
sea was breaking fiercely outside of the charm
ed space in which the vessels lay on oiled
seas.
g In June, 1885. the British ship Silyermore
took fire and had to be abandoned when 500
miles northeast of the Seychelle Islands Indian
Ocean. The people took to the boats and made
for Seychelle Islands. The third day aftcL
leaving the vessel a cyclone came up and no
one believed that the boats would live through
it. Before they left the ship the boats had been
supplied with oil for just such an emergency
Each boat got out drag made Of spars and oars
lashed together, for what is known as sea
anchor. Oakum saturated with parafine was
stuffed in long stockings hung over the bows o.
the boats Before the oil was used the boats
| had been several times nearly filed with water
and the occupants had to bail for their lives
| but when oil was applied no further trouble
was experienced. An oil-slick formed around
the boats, which rode in perfect safety on tire
mendous swells which took the place of thu
previously breaking seas. Little, if any, watel
| came over the sides of the boats, and the oceu
| pants could lie down and sleep. The boat
! eventually reached the islands, but every sou
would have perished except for the forethough
| of Capt Comfy, the Captain of the Silvermore.'

4 Correction,

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: I notice in a
recent issne of your valuable paper an account
of the presentation to the President-elect of the
United States of flag and testimonial accom-
panying the same, alleged TO have been sent by
a veteran club of Leavenworth, Kan and beg
to say that you are in error as to the location
OF the club.
The club that made the presentation was
known during the recent campaign as the Har-
Tison Union Veteran CluD OF Harrisburg, Pa.
1t was the largest veteran organization in
Pennsylvania, consisting of seven well-organ-
lied companies, and it was thought fitting that
the flag. with an appropriate testimonial,
should be sent to the President for two rea-
sons: One, because it was the largest ergauiza-
tion in the State, and the other because the
organization was located at the place where
William Henry Harrison. the grandfather Of
the President-elect, was nominated. B.
BROWN, Chairman.
