TWIN-SCREW
Additional Safety Afforded by h
MODERN System of Ship
Propulsion

a great means of safety to the newer
ships is given through the twin-screw
system. With the wooden wheel steam
ers which once crossed the ocean safe
ty could not well be mentioned, for in
the loose construction of the whole
ships frame an overwhelming sea could
easily sweep away the wheel and wheel
casing and the ship drift out upon
the wide ocean as a helpless wreck,
because it had lost its power to steer,
if it did not entirely capsize from the
loss of its equilibrium. But the older
single-screw ships have a disadvantage
over the twin-screw ships. For if any
damage is done to the engine OIL the
screws they must give up the forward
motion by steam and with the help of
the sails they have to try to reach a har-
Dor where they can repair the damage.
With the h~igh-buiit decks which catch
go much wind and with the proportion
ally small sails this is not always pos
sible. and often they must pay hun
dreds of dollars to have themselves
towe6 in by salvage steamers. These
disadvantages of the single-screw ships
nave caused the larger ships to adopt
almost universally the double screws,
which are worked by two engines en-
tirely independent of each other. If
through any accident one screw should
become useless the ship could with the
other alone reach its destination with
out much loss of speed. y modern twin
screw fast steamer which is furnished
with a sufficient number of water-tight
matches and enough strong f~astenings
is very safe, and a powerful effort of
nature must be made if such a ship is
lost.-Max Hahn, in Chautauquan.
