NEARLY SUNK BY A RIVCT.
L Little Thing That Came Near CAUSING
the Loss of a Steamshtp


the Loss OF a Steamship.
The strangest story ever heard of

between two ribs. which Il rolled back

eel until 1t had worn a hole through
The plates.
This remarkable event took place
)ff the coast of Peru. Some years ago
4 vessel loaded with Guano worth sew
sral thousand dollars caught fire in
he South Pacific and was abandoned
oy the captain and crew. who came
ashore in the small boats ana reported
the disaster. Jack Eyre. of the firm
Of w. II. Grace * Co, New York, TO
whom the guano was consigned. is
daring fellow, and determined to
save that cargo If possible. He knew
that guano would not burn, and IL was
his idea that the hulk of the ship
might be found floating somewhere
at sea, and the valuable cargo recov-
cred. He, therefore. chartered n small
English tramp that happened to be at
Callao and started out to search for
the derelict. After cruising for two
or three weeks he found her. Just as
he had expected, the woodwork burned
to the waters edge. but the hull sound
as n dollar and the cargo all right.
They towed her into Callao, bur the
day before reaching that harbor the
tramp they had chartered began to
hn Ia
scarcely keep her afoat. They mar
rowly escaped sinking with all on
board. The leak was n mystery. They
had met with no accident. and there
was no reason to suspect anything
wrong with the plates, for the ship
had been in the dry dock shortly be-
fore she left Liverpool and was rated
Al, being only between two and three
years old. They managed to get her
to Callao only by the greatest exertion,
and many n time they feared they
could not keep her afloat so long.
When the ship went into the dock
and was examined it was found that
one of the plates about the centre had
worn through. Further investigation
demonstrated that the damage had
been done by a little copper rivet
which had been accidentally left in
the bottom and had rolled back and
forth over the same spot so often and
so long that the iron plate had been
worn thin, and the pressure of the
water had broken through. The mis-
chievous rivCt was there and was tax
en- out and preserved as a curiosity.
Shipbuilders tell me that this is not
an uncommon thing. 1t is always Gus
tomary as a precaution to make n
thorough search of the bottom of
new ship for rivets and copper filings
and other loose metal. Copper filings
are especially dangerous, because I'M
