SAVED THE SHIP.
Fireman's Presence Of Mind Avert
eel an Awful Calamity.

Etreman's Presence of Mind Avert
ed an Awful Calamity.
A second-class fireman serving on
one OF the smaller U. S. cruisers had
his head about him when the maya
zine of his ship was threatened, few
years ago, and he has had the much
better rating of a water-tender ever
since. One of his shipmates of the
black gang was cleaning his section of
the after engine-room bilges one morn
ing. His particular section of the
bilges was on the starboard side of the
extreme after part of the engine-room.
Immediately aft of the engine-room
was the ships magazine, separated
from the engine-room by a steel parti-
ton. Bilges are cleaned with turpen-
tine-soaked waste. The bilge-cleaner,
too lazy to fill one of the small tur-
pentine cans provided for the purpose,
dragged a five-gallon can of turpen-
tine to his bilge station and began
work. Smoking is strictly prohibited
in the engine-rooms of a man-of-war,
on account Of the large amount Of
combustible stores necessarily slowed
below. This bilge-cleaner was a reck-
less sort of blade, however, and when
he had got his bilge- cleaning under
way he took out his pipe and lit it,
carelessly chucking the match in the
bilge. There was some turpentine in
bilge, and the match, still aglow, set
jumped to his feet, and in doing so
he overturned the five gallons of tur-
pentine. Then the bilge was converted
into roaring mass of flame that shot
to the berth-deck gratings and played
! directly against the steel bulkhead
separating the engine-room from the
magazine. The careless bilge-cleaner
was scorched, and he bolted for the
spar deck yelling like a mailman. The
second-class fireman with the head on
him was the only other man IN the
after engine-room at the time this hap
pened He made jump for the bilge-
covers that had been removed by his
reckless mate, and, although severely
burned while doing it, he thrust them
over the bilges. Then he seized a
wrench and knocked open one of the
1
directly into the bilge that was ir
flames. The water came in so rapidly
that it knocked the bilge-covers off
but it drowned the fire. There was
more than a foot of water in the en-
gine-rooms before the intake could
be closed again, but that was a small
matter compared with what might
have happened had the hot turpentine
flame Tapped the magazine bulkheaG
much longer. BY the time fire quart.
ers was sounded and the men on decl
got down below the second-class fire

burned off and the skin peeling from
his face and hands, was throwing

with respect TO the condition of ma

port since December 10. 1890. the
amount of individual deposits. loans
and discounts. and total resources is

The comptroller says that he does
not review in their details the plans
for the modification nf the currency
and banking systems. He states that
those plans now most generally dis
cussed may be considered as based
upon the following propositions:
"First-That tl'n disproportion be-
tween outstandin" currency liabilities
of the government payable In gold
and the gold held for their redemption
should he lessened by n contraction In
the amount of these demand currency
liabilities.
Second That the void In circulation
caused by such contraction should he
filed by an extension OF the circula-
ton OF natjOllhl buukS. winch ciTcuh-
tion, redeemnble In gold. is ultimately
to depend for its chief security upon
n first lien upon the commercial as
sets OF the issuing banks"
He states that the assumptions
which seem to underlie these plans
are these:
"First-That unless we are to have
currency contraction. some radical
extension of bank note issues Is abso-
lutely necessary to the securing of the
proper adjustment of government cur
rency liabilities to Its gold reserve, by
which adjustment the greater safety
OF the gold standard Is subserved:
and.
.Second-Thnt through this radical
extension and change In the present
form Of bank note Issues alone Ia
elasticity TO be secured In our cur
rency."
