Few Couversant With Nautical Ways

'Of nautical ways, nautical terms
and nautical instruments nine-tenths
of the persons who travel occasionally
by boat, are wcefully ignorant" said a
local retired sea captain to the Way
farer recently.
Sometimes we will run across
passenger who can box the compass
in a bungling manner, but it is more
frequently that we find those who do
not know port from starboard and who
show their ignorance in their attempts
to display their nautical wisdom.

pilcthouse Of a Delaware river passen'

OPINION
predrinp the Delaware
the Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
The timely executive message to the
municipal Councils recommending a
S250,000 Appropriation for deepening
the Delaware and Schuylkill rivers di-
rects attention TO the comparatively
brief period OF time in which work on
the channel can be carried on during
the remainder OF the year. Within
three or four months il will be neces-
sary, unless our shippers be prepared
10 abandon all strivings in the field OF
international commerce, to provide ex-
tensively against serious shoaling OF
the Delaware channel With the close
OF the government year on June 30 last
the effective participation Of Federal
authority in the task of harbor inn
provement hereabouts came to an end.
There is no money available for the
work, owing 10 the failure Of the late
Congress to provide the requisite ap-
preparation. The State has refused as
sistance, and Philadelphia must take
up the matter for herself or suffer
heavy losses in a strenuous and un-
ending world OF competition.
All river men who ply the waters of
the Delaware and its splendid bay un-
derstand very well the futility of par
tial dredging operations in a tidal
stream ilanked for seventy-fve miles
or more by shifting sands. Every food
In the numerous creeks OF South Jer-
sey and Delaware brings down thous-
ands Of tons of sand to clog the main
waterway Loose deposits left by
dredges are shifted hither and thither
under the water and in due time find
their way back to the deep channel
from which they had been dug. If the
municipal government is to undertake
dredging operations in the river it is
to be trusted that the ordinance pro-
viding for the absolute removed beyond
high water mark Of all the dredged
material will be enforced to the letter
To continue in this regard the slothful
and neglectful processes under which
shoals have been rendered innocuous
only to reappear in even more danger
GUS aspects would be TO waste the
taxpayers money and betray the vast
commercial interests that are looking
confidently to Councils for help in time
of need.
