goes on duty at o'clock in the evening

say they are in better condition for duty

Some of the officers think that the strict
enforcement of this rule during the winter
Will result in the use of something stronger
than coffee, and perhaps more serious
trouble for them would follow.

Saving a Vessel ON Fire.

One of the most brilliant pieces of
occan-wrecking seamanship on record,
whereby the vessel far out in the At
lantic with her cargo on fire, was saw
ed and brought safely to port, was
performed on board the American shin
John Jay; commanded by Captain
Samuel Jackson.
When two weeks out the cargo was
discovered to be on fire. The captain
determined upon his course of action.
He had the carpenter lowered over
the rail, and instructed him to bore
several holes low down by the water
line. The vessel was then put on the
other tack SO that she would be heel
ed over on the side where the holes
had been made.
The water shot through these open
ings. and after the ship had been al
lowed to sink almost TO the level of
the deck, she was put around on the
other tack again, SO that the holes
came within two or three feet Of tho
top of tho water. Several of tho SAIL
ors, with lines made fast under their
arms and holding long wooden pegs
and hammers, slid down along the
side, steadying themselves by ropes
TINT had boon passed under the vessel
and hauled taut, 30 that they came
alongside of the holes. The taperine
pins were thrust into the openings ami
knocked tight, then the vessel was nut
before the wind to get her on an even
keel. and the crew turned to and
pumped her out.
