HE CYCLES At SEA.
Capt. Hows's Novel sport Aboard mis Spacious
Coal BarEe.

PROVIDENCE, r. l., June l9.-Capt. George
Howe Of the good coal barge Delaware, plying
between New England and Southern coal ports,
is n lover of the bicycle, but much OF his time
is spent in sailing over the bounding deep he
has but little opportunity to push along tho
steady ground he finds ashore. But Capt. Howo
Is n man who adapts himself to circumstances
He commands one OF the largest barges anoat
The Delaware was formerly the Spanish steam
ship MurciNno. sho WAS designed for an ocean
greyhound, and her fine lines are indicative OF n
speedy model. She was used both as passenger
and freight steamer up to tho time she went
ashore near Chesapeake Bay. 1t cost 30 much
TO float the steamer after her mlshap that her
owners abandoned her and she was sold for q
song, and converted intOR coal barge.
The barge IL $40 feet long. with good breadth
OF beam, and 80 Capt. Howe has AT his disposnia a
II as smooth as glass. Capt. nowe never col.
lides with any other whcglmnn on II; no bad
person ever sprinklcs tacks there. and no bull.
dog ever reaches for the Captain 3 trousers hs no
spins long on the Atlantic Ocean. From tho
rising bow OF the Delaware Is a coast that carries
the wheel way 10 tho stern, and TO get hack
the other tack Is easy. There would
bo an occasional drawback for a lands
man trying this sport in midoccan. for
sometimes tho deck suddenly comes up beneath
under II. But the Delaware, even when fully
loaded. is not awhsh nor Is hrr deck unpro.
terteh. as IL the case with many bargcs. She hns
four strong iron rails above the sides Of her hull
and II the Cycllst takes a header seaward he Is
sure to stop at these guards. Moreover, hrndcr
eyuites no sarcastic rem rks, as the crew IS well
trained. and when they feel funny they go into
their quarters.
