An electric storm at sea is one Of the
alarming experiences TO which mari
ner Is exposed, but as a matter OF record
il Is one that is least fruitful in disas-
trous results. AS a rule few precau-
tons are taken TO guard against astroke
of lightning, especially in the merchant
service. Ships of war are usually fitted
with lightning conductors, a precaution
made necessary by the explosives stored
away in their magazines. But these
safeguards arc seldom seen on mer-
chant vessel, and Judging by the ex-
treme rarity of the cases where they
have been struck, Jacks claim that he
is safer on tho ocean than on shore dur
ing an electrical disturbance must be
admitted

caught in a thunderstorm should not
