WHEN STEAMERS SAIL.
Why Ocean Steamships Usually Leave on
Wednesdays and SATURDAYS.

| Why Ocean Steamships Usually Leave on
Wednesdays and Saturdays.
A correspondent writing to the New
York Tribune asks the following ques-
ton:
''Can you tell me why it is that with
at least ten steamers per week leaving
this port for Europe the only days, so
far as | have been able to learn, when
mail is taken are on Wednesdays and
Saturdays. In other words, why is it
that all the lines send their vessels on
these days, so that there are sometimes
five or six steamers leave the same day,
and no more till the following WedneS-
day or Saturday? 1t would certainly
be q great convenience, and it seems
very strange that it was not so
arranged, to have steamers for Europe
leave every day in the week, or at least
on Mondays and Thursdays as well as
on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
81 hope you can give me some expla-
nation of the present strange arrange
ment of sailings."
The explanation is briefly as follows:
1t is the transportation of cargoes
which has to be most considered in the
arrangement of steamship schedule.
Experience has proved that Wednes-
days and Saturdays are the most adj
vantageous days for sailings, day in
the middle of the week and the last
day. All large lines now run on four
weeks schedule. A ship leaving New
York on Monday would not be able
to receive and store cargo the
day before sailing. Tuesday would
give her only one day before sailing for
the reception of cargo. In short, the
object is to get the day of sailing on
both ends of the line as far away from
the previous Sunday as possible, and
Wednesdays and Saturdays have been
found the best days fer sailings.
In summer, when the rush of trans
atlantic trade is at its height, it has
been found necessary to have ships
sailing on other days in order to accom-
modate the increased traffic. Thus in
the last week steamers carrying mails
to England left this port on Tuesday. |
Thursday and Saturday, |
only two week days, Monday and Fri
day being without mail steamer for |

Jim WAS fighting the best he knowed

assault on Snodgrass Hill. AS he
charged across the road and over tho
field toward the Dyer farm Jim caught
glimpse CT the house he was born in.
But valor did not make jim forget
discretion. He took advantage OF all
the pine trees he could when going
into and coming cut of the fight. On
his back was strapped his knapsack,
and over the knapsack was rolled his
blanket. The two made hump which
projected beyond the trees behind
which Jim took temporary shelter.
When Jim unloaded his knapsack and
blanket the night after the battle he
found that thirty-seven bullets had
penetrated it.

There was only one veteran who
told a story which approached that of
Jim Brotherton in picturesqueness.
He was Private Sinnatt, who came all
the way from Virginia to attend the
reunion. Private Sinnatt was particu-
larly anxious to meet and renew ac-
quaintance with some of the Twelfth
Georgians. A big man of the Twelfth
Georgia saved his life, Private Sinnatt
said. He explained how.
When he got into what seemed to
him the hottest place he had ever
found, Private Sinnatt lay down be-

He couldn't lick him. so he made the
best of a bad situation, crawled up
close behind the Georgian and kept
quiet Il wasn't but few minutes
until bullet struck the Georgian and
killed him. Sinnatt lay still behind

before the wave of battle passed on.
