Volcanic Dust Ship.

/ The oldest ballast, probably, ever
carried by any ship was that brought
into port here a day or two ago by the
British emigrant ship Lena, Captain
William Syson Nibbs. says the New
York World OF June s.
The ballast consisted of seven tons
, OF volcanic dust from Mont Pelee and
La SOufriere.
The Lena belongs TO James Nourse
of London and is used to transport
coolies from Calcutta, India. to the
, sugar plantations OF the West Indies.
on the afternoon OF May .. the Lena
lay of Barbados. about to sail in bal
last for New York. Six bells of the
afternoon watch had just rung out on
the still tropic air when Il deafenins
explosion. as of a hundred powder mag
aZines icnited at once. shook the whole
vessel.
All hands rushed on deck. unbidden.
and for a moment the memory OF the
lli-sCarred Maine flashed through many
minds. But this explosion was far
louder than any chemical could cause:
nor was IL from the ship. but from the
land.
Even as the crew turned to look at
the shore. which lay "a mile distant,
dense darkness smut down upon tnen-
The buildings. the people and indeed
every Vestise of the land were blotted
out. The face of the sun was obscur-
ed. as nothing short of a total eclipse
had ever before been known to dark
en- IL.
: little later rain began. But il was
such rain as has seldom fallen, being
made up of volcanic residue, which
drifted down steadily in the form of
dust. until every man on deck was
heavily coated with Il.
All afternoon. all evening. all night
the dust fell INCREASINGLY.
soon after dawn the weird downpour
ceased and by early sunlight the ships
decks were seen to be nearly half a
foot deep in dust. There was an av-
erage depth OF about five inches.
Captain Nibbs. realizing the nature
81 the dust. and at the same time need
Ing ballast, hit on a scheme OF double
usefulness. He set his men To SHOW
cling the volcanic dust into the hold.
by the time the labor was complete
seven tons OF dust had been thus accu-
mulated.
Sailing the same day. he carried the
unique ballast to New York, knowing
and anticipating a good market for il. |
The Evening World has secured some |
n this volcanic dust and is sending |
samples OF IL as souvenirs to such OF ]
