HE LINERS AND THE STORMS.
Disregarding Seas That Would Have
Brought n Packet To.

NEW YORK, Nov. 24.-Following in the
'crasswise and coastwise' steamers are
still struggling into port bearing marks
of the heavy weather at sea. Some have
sought the protection of neighborins
ports; others. mostly sailing vessels. have
turned tail and run before the storm;
still others are outside, coming slowly in,
fighting for every mile toward their des-
tination. 1t ali illustrates the progress IN
Acknowledgements especially what was
called 1.-The mastery of the sea" by the
larger and more powerful of the liners.
One that came in yesterday. two days
late, reported strong head winds all the
way across, increasing in violence to a
gale. with heavy seas and westerly swells.
Yet the big liner raced through this at a
twenty-one knot pace, until the breaking
of head seas over her bows broke q win
dow and carried away a portion Of the
starboard rail. The next day one blade
of the port propeller was broken, but the
big boat plowed on through the tempest
with every department inside, from the
saloon to the galleys, dry and orderly as
though on land. Passengers we're free to
come and go as they pleased. One of them
said afterward that on the toughest day
the doors to the leeward deck were al
ways open, and not few took advantage
of the opportunity to promenade. All this
time the high seas would have brought to
packetship of thirty years ago, in short
order, to ride out storm.
From the reports of the performance of
a new liner on her maiden trip. not many
weeks ago, the vessel averaged ZIG knots
for two thirds of the voyage. On the first
day out she ran 220l knots for seventeen
hours, with fresh wind and a rough beam
sea. In the next twentyfour hours the
vessel covered 40 miles in "sQually
weather and very rough sea- although
detained for some time to recover lost
seaman. In the report for the next day.
the log says that the wind had increased
to "a strong gale, with sea on the port
bow" For six hours 1t blew with "a
strength of ten to eleven out of a posi-
BILE maximum of twelve (Beauport scale,
twelve being equivalent to a hurricane)
1t is said that the crest of the big rollers
swept the forecastle deck; but the vessel
steamed something better than twenty
knots. Not until the force of the seas
that were shipped had torn away an iron
ladder and twisted the stout railing of
the forecastle deck was the speed lessened
to fourteen knots for four hours; during
which time lunch was served without
racks
