READS LIKE A ROMANCE.
Appeasing the Sea With a Tin of
COrned Beef.

For maritime news it would seem
that the general newspapers are
away ahead of the commercial pa
pers, says a late Pacific Coast Ma
rine Record. For an example of
this see the San Francisco Exam
liner of August 22d, in which it is
stated, with all seriousness, that
the British brig L'Avvenier, on her
passage from Newcastle to San
Francisco, met with such heavy
weather and leaked 30 badly that
it was necessary to jettison not
only the cargo of coal, but all of
the provisions and the CLOTHES and
belongings" of the crew. 1t is also
stated that the crew was nearly
dead with hunger when Laysan
Island was sighted, and that here
they stocked up with turtles, on
which they lived until Honolulu
was reached.
AS matter of fact, the vessel
did stop at Laysan Island for fresh
meat, but it was not until away
east of Honolulu that a storm ne
cessitated a return to that port.
Not a pound of cargo was jetti-
soned, but it would be rather inter-
esting for some arithmetician to
figure how much relief would be
gained by a distressed vessel from
disgorging the clothes and belong
ings of the crew.
Even Clark Russell, in his wild
est fancies, has not yet treated US
to such a realistic picture as the
cook attempting to appease a hun
CRY sea by feeding to it can of
corned beef, or a seaman bringing
from the forecastle his Sunday
trousers and after one look of regret
casting them into the angry ocean,
in order that the vessel might, per-
chance, be saved.

Chronicle.
A short time ago a fire occurred
On the Marion while she was on
Mare Island, and was believed to
have been caused by carelessness.
A few nights later one of the watch
men going his rounds discovered a
lighted lamp in the shaft alley of
the same vessel. None of the work
men employed on that part CT the
vessel volunteered any information
to Commandant Howison as to re-
sponsibility for leaving the lamp
lighted after working hours, and
five of them will rest on the Vallejo
side for six days. Since the blaze
on the Marion precaution against
fire has been doubled. The work
men must now place all oily rags,
waste and garments in iron recep-
tacles.

THE MODERN IRONCLAD.
1t Evolved from the Design of Col.
John Stevens in 1912.

While it is clearly established
that the first ironclad war boat was
the Finis Belli, and built in 1885,
the evolution of the modern iron
clad began in 1912, or little ear
Iier, when Colonel John Stevens
designed war boat. Of this r. n.
Thurston writes in Casters Maya
zine as follows:
Stevens conceived the idea of
constructing an iron-plated vessel
of war with a saucer-shaped hull,
propelled by screws sc arranged
that direction as we'll as forward
motion could be given by them.
The battery was TO be of the heav-
lest ordnance of the time, and the
plating heavy enough to resist the
shot of similar guns at short range.
The main purpose of the ship was
the defense of our harbors, and the
plan of action was to moor the ship
by a chain leading down through
the bottom of the vessel at its
centre, and to spin the craft around
this centre, firing gun after gun as
it came in line OF fire, thus antici-
pating the latter Timby turret
which, in turn, was the gem of the
modern monitor ironclad. Such
a vessel was actually built half
century later, by the Russian Gov
eminent, and the Popoffska is the
contemporary representative of the
first Stevens battery"

1t is said that some of our Republicans
don't like the way their caucus resulted,
but the fault, if there is any, is mainly
their own. They should turn out if they
have any choice in the men who are like
ly to receive the nomination. In this
case it is the old trouble between the
East and West sides. Prominent Repub-
licans on both sides should get together
and adopt some plan of agreement and
stick to it. In town as close rs Dorset
Republicans cannot afford to quarrel
over nominations, and there might be
some agreement between the two Sec

Manchester with its many attractions
of fine climate, natural beauty and all
that invites the city visitors TO choose
this little green and white village when
in search of health and mental rest, says
a correspondent of the Journal, has long
been wanting in what to many is an es
sential need, Catholl3 church. All of
its residents appreciate the fact that the
building of such church would be an
advantage to the community, while the
individual Catholic knows that this real
izatlon means more than can be express
ed, so Tar as temporal and spiritual well
fare is concerned. A movement has
been organized with the sanction of the
Bishop to advance the sacred enterprise.
A site has been selected and paid for
with the proceeds of the picnics of last
year and this season, but money is great
ly needed for the building fund. AL
ready few subscriptions have been re-
ceived, two of one hundred dollars each,
two of fifty dollars, three of twenty-five
dollars and some of smaller amounts.
If this interest and generosity continue
we believe that before long we shall have
a parish priest settled here and enjoy
the happy privilege of worshipping in
little stone church which will be one of
Manchester's choice possessions. We
will be most grateful to those among our
Protestant friends who will aid us in this
work to Gods honor and glory, and we
feel certain that blessing will attend
them for helping in such cause. Miss
Wallace, a summer resident, we'll known
and long known i'll this community, has
untaken the charge of the subscription
fund. 1t is unnecessary to say now glad
she will be to hear from, or to meet any
body whose kind desire is to promote an
interest SO dear to her and to many
others.
