complete system of pipes with the pump
rooms where are powerful duplex pumps
for handling the cargo with connections
to all the seavalves. About six hours is
sufficient to discharge the cargo. The
ten-inch mains have bell-mouth suction
connections, fitted with independent
valves tested for an oil pressure Of 400
pounds to the square inch, and designed
to stand the action Of the salt water and
naphtha. They are operated from the
upper deck by means Of valve rods fitted
with connections.
The square iron boxes one sees on the
deck of tank ships are expansion matches
over the tanks, in which the oil rises
and falls with the barometer or as it is
made to expand or contract by the at
mosphere.
There are about two hundred tank
ships engaged in the transport of Ameri-
can oil, most of them sailing from New
York. Philadelphia and Baltimore. In
addition 300 oil cask vessels are engaged.
This great fleet of 500 vessels handled
in 1900 the enormous total of one billion
and half gallons of oil. mostly refined,
a fraction of it, 134.000,00o gallons, being
crude oil. Many of these ships carry
other cargo on the return trips.
Four tank ships which left New York
last year loaded with grain arrived at
their destination without a trace of the
odor of petroleum and delivered their
cargoes in perfect condition. One tank
ship takes oil in bulk from Philade, Ihia
to Calcutta, there loads with coal 70,

precautions of Golfer dams, or double
bulkheads, which are filled with water,
and despite constant watchfulness IN
board. The case of the Maverick at Hal
flax is characteristics.
At time when oil was being pumped
into the ship and some one had care
lessly left open the door leading between
decks, pipe burst. Before the pump
could be stopped the oil was forced
through the open door into the fire room.
An additional cargo of case oil. unusual
in vessels of this class, hampered prompt
use of fire apparatus. The Maverick was
sunk in the harbor as last resort.
The total bill for the episode was
$3.50, 900.
The tank ship Weehawken was once
proceeding down the Delaware river
when she ran on a rock, injuring her
coffer-dam and permitting her cargo to
run into her fire room. When the fire
was over there was no Weehawken left;
only old iron. The tank ship Attila went
, ashore at Nodre Renner, Denmark. The
oil reaching the fire room, soon fur
nished a grand blaze. After she had
been burning ten days hole was blown
| in her with dynamite, causing her boiler
room to fill with water.
The salvage ship then approached and
began flooding her burning holds wher

arranged. certain steam jets, to blow the
gases from the oil out of the shaft alley.
The several vessels constructed in this
manner were soon condemned, and build
ers returned to the former method of
placing the engines aft and the tanks for
ward of them.
There has always been much difficulty
in keeping the tank ships tight, as the
Oil eats the rivets. At present the under
writer's have nothing to do with the oil
craft, the owners insuring their own
vessels.
A tank ship may be described as a steel
m airline Goliath. divided into steel-walled,
forward of the motor section and living
rooms. 1t is loaded and unlOaded by
pumping the oil direct to and fro be-
tween the wharf reservoirs and the COM
partments of the ships. Each compart-
ment holds on the average 100000 gallons
OF Oil. and each tank ship has from
twelve to twenty compartments. Aft of
the compartments are the engine and
boiler rooms. which the Oil can reach
only in case Of extraordinary wrecks. Aft
of the motor power are the living rooms.
A spirit of automatism prevails on the
tank ship, SO regulating the flow OF Oil

wasting a drop. The tank ship Is loaded

It was only subdued by exploding more
dynamite and flooding the entire vessel
with water. The ship was then tight
ened, pumped out, towed to Copenhagen
and repaired. She is still in service.
The tank ship Minister Maybach left
New York in December, 1898, on her
maiden voyage, laden with 1,750,O00 gal
Ions of oil and a crew of thirty-two men,
She was never heard of again. 1t was
the memorable January when there We're

ships We're lost. She may have shared
their fate or she may have blown up, as
many believe.
One tank ship, the General Knox, laden
with case oil. burned at the foot of Wall
street, affording splendid spectacle for
financiers. On the beach at Fire Island
may still be seen the wreck of the tank

was driven ashore there and the best
efforts of her crew could not bring her

One great danger to tank ships appears
after the cargo has been discharged,
when gas generates in the empty tanks
Any kind of open flame results in an ex-
plosion. Electric hand lamps are now gen.
orally used. 1t is the gases generated by
the oil, not the Oil itself, which explode.
, Prior to 1890 the tank ships had their
engines far aft. Then an attempt was
made. to place the engines amidships with
| tanks at both ends. causing much COM
ment and apprehension on the part OF the
marine underwriters. There were devices

The first Of the great iron tank ships
launched by the Standard Oil company
was aptly named the Maverick, for it
was destined to wanderings as great as
those of an unclaimed Texas steer. After
knocking around the Seven seas it was
burned with it's cargo of oil, in the har-
Dor of Halifax and sunk; then fished
out, weirdly twisted and warped by heat
and water rebuilt and recommissioned.
When the war with Spain was declared,
it accompanied SIMPSONS fleet all
through the war as water supply ship
for both sailors and troops in transit.
When the war was over it was promptly
returned to coast oil trade, where it Is
now doing business as usual. It's career
may be taken as typical, for there is no
other vessel afloat that encounters SO
many adventures and misadventures as
the tank ship, and none other would sur
,ve half of them.
Tank ships, widely scattered over the
oceans, have done great service to Ship
ping in the way of towing disabled ves-
sells TO port and rescung crews from
wrecks. They are the stanchest ships
OF the seas. because of their division
into water-tight compartments. which
are always kept closed. Several COM
partments may be damaged by collision
or otherwise and the steamship will still
keep afloat and steam to port.
