VOYAGE OF THE ALBATROSS.

One of the most successful voyages
ever made by a United States vessel
for scientific purposes is that of the
steamer Albatross, after a cruise Of
fC Curteen months in the southern Pa
cific, along the eastern coast of Asia
and in the Bering sea. Scientists who
are conversant with the difficulties at
tending any attempt to extend eXplora-
tions into entirely new fields OF re-
search connected with the sea regard
the voyage of the Albatross as of great
est consequence.
The voyage will prove most valuable
to navigators. The strictly scientific
methods of the expedition led to the
remarkable discovery that the charts of
many of the islands in the southern
seas are entirely untrustworthy. 1t is
BOW believed that their inaccuracy has
probably led to the large number of
wrecks which have occurred in those
waters. Most of-the islands of the Pau
motu group. well as those of Eilice
Marshall and Caroline groups, were so
inaccurately charted that the< chart
was a positive hindrance to safe navi-
cation, many of the islands being as
far as twenty and thirty miles from
the boundaries represented on. the
charts. The Investigations of the AL
batross seemed to show that hundreds
of the islands had been hastily sketch
ed by sea captains in connection with
waters,
put never accurately located and prop
erly represented on the charts. The
two exceptions to this general condi-
| ton are the Fiji group, owned by
Great Britain, and the Tahiti group be-
longing to France All the islands of
the mischarted groups were located
with mathematical precision by the
crew of the Albatross, and from the
sketches made on the ground entirely
new navigators' charts We're prepared
| by the Government and distributed to
all the nations of the world.
| Another result of the voyage that Is
! OF great value to navigators and to
| those who intruSt their lives to them
was the discovery of a bank in the
fntddie of the Bering sea at a point
where the charts show depth of 1000
! tathoms. The soundings showed that
tEiS bank is ten miles long and from a
| half 10 a mile in width 1t lies at a
safe distance beneath the surface, bu,
tne knowledge of its existence will en-
! acle navigators to make soundings in
mat part of the ocean when they wish
TO determine their bearings in cloudy
weather. For long periods the sky is
Iovercast in those latitudes, and the usu-
al solar or astral observations are i'm
possible. The knowledge that there is
submerged bank 200 fathoms below
tne surface in latitude As deg 30 min
north and in longitude 179 deg. 80 min.
east will enable confused captains on
/ taxing soundings to direct their course
with safety.
On this expedition the worlds record
Ior deep sea net dragging was increas-
ed LOO fathoms. The greatest depth
ever previously attained was thar
reached by the British scientific deem
sea exploration steamer Challenger.
! between 1873 and 1876, when she drew
up material from depth of 1900 faith

Schconer's Skipper and Tars Ask
for an Examination of the
Vessel.

The little schooner Twilight, which
put into Honolulu last Sunday night
in leaking condition while en route
from Washington Island to San Fran
cisco, carrying cargo of copra, has
been towed up into the Admiralty
Court dock by the action of the crew,
who yesterday filed a petition in the
United States Circuit Court praying
for the appointment of board of sur
vey.
Captain Ceuthen, master of the
schooner, also joins with the crew in
making the petition. They ask for
the appointment of three master mari
ners, "skillful in maritime anairs," 20
ascertain what repairs are necessary to
put the vessel in a seaworthy condi-
ton and allow her TO proceed upon
her voyage, or to discover any other
defects or insufficiencies regarding the
Twilight.

lowing order after hearing the petit
| ton:

of the same place, master mariner, and
| AHdotCi
Whereas, Christian Ceuthen, mas
ter of the American schooner Twilight
now lying in the port of Honolulu ant
within the jurisdiction of this court
has applied by petition to me, the un
dersigned judge, to have three persons
appointed for the purpose of repairing
! on board the schooner in respect t
| whether or not she is too leaky Il

respect to whether any other defects

them, whether or not the vessel Is un
fitted to proceed on the intended voy
age, and what repairs or alterations il

necessary"

tains with copies Of the order yester

omS. This was thought to be a feat
that could never be surpassed, but the
Albatross reached the enormous depth
of more than five miles, exceeding that
OF the Challenger by more than a mile.
Ilom this great depth the Albatross
drew up specimens of low forms Of
sponge life adhering to pumice stone,
showing the bottom to be of volcanic
rock.
The results of the experiments made
to ascertain deep-sea pressure were re-
,narlable. a hollow glass globe eight
inches In diameter, with walls half an
inch thick was sent down empty. After
reaching "a depth Of $4,000 feet It was
drawn to the surface and found to be
three -fourths full of water. The water
had been forced through the smooth.
thick fiawless glass. This glass, with
it's sealed contents. will be preserved at
Washington as a souvenir of the expe-
dition. A bottle of wine lowered to
cool IL came up with the cork forced
into the bottle and the contents spoiled
That shrimps inhabit great sea depths
was first discovered this eXpedi-
ton Shrimps of infinite variety were
brought up from depths varying from
a few yards to $4,000 feet. They rang
ed from little ones not more than half
! an inch in length to shrimps q foot
| long, and all We're found to be edible.
They We're found wherever the nets
were lowered in the South sea and off
| the southern coast of Japan. That
shrimps could be found at great depths
came as a real surprise to the scien-
lists on the AlDatross, for on the Cali
fornia coast, where the Chinese catch
about 1925, 600 worth of shrimps annual
ly for domestic and Oriental markets
the big nets are lowered to the depth
of only twenty or thirty feet, and II
| was supposed that this was the limit
at which they could be found.
The discovery that the sea at tht
depth of 1000 fathoms has a uniform
temperature of 35 degrees. or only
about three degrees above freezing, was
lanother of the important results of this
lexpedition. Former deep-sea soundings
had shown practically a uniform tern
1 perature over small areas, but 1t wa:
thought that latitude and ocean cur
rents would affect the temperature
The soundings of the Albatross, how
ever, show that whether in tropical o.
larctic regions, and whether on the sur
face the sea is cold or warm, at th
depth of 10000 feet the temperature Il
absolutely uniform.
