Breaking a Calm

copyright, 1903. by c. B. Lewisl
When we reached the equator in the
brig Tornado, bound from Liverpool
around the Horn. We expected TO find
q period of calms. and no one was sur
prised when we lost the winds and lay
like log OH the water for five sue
cessive days. Then the five days be
came seven-eight-ten.
On the afternoon of the tenth d;.
the captain ordered three boats dow.
to tow the brig to the eastward. I'll

the men refused to do another stroks
Of work.
At midnight of the fourteenth day
few catspaws began playing about anc
sail was trimmed to catch them, but
the brig had no more than got stee.age
way when it fell flat calm again.
From the first day Of the calm we
had visitors in the shape of sharks.
There were only two or three on the
first day, but after that we could al
ways count ii dozen Mt least. But for
the presence of these monsters the
men could have found some relief
from the heat in the water. On the fiji
teenth day. after a long spell of box
hauling the yards about to catch the
puffs which had no weight in them.
the carpenter announced that he was
going to cool Off alongside if it cost
him his life.
Some Of the men had gone below
and some were lying about wherever
they could find shade when he went
over the bows. l was seated on the
heel of the bowsprit where l got Il bit
of air as the ship rose and fell on the
CLASSY ground swell. and was the only
one aboard who witnessed the tragedy.
Before dropping into the water the
man looked about him. The dorsal fins

made Il dive from the rail.
Every sharks fin went out of sight
in an instant. and | thought the man
would never rise to the surface. He
came up after few minutes. however.
and swan off to Il distance of about Il
hundred feet. He was treading water
and brushing his long hair out of his
eyes when saw flash of white in the
water near him. and next instant he
was pulled down. He uttered but one
cry and threw up his arms.
Fifteen seconds after he was pulled
down an enormous shark broke water
with the unfortunate man in his jaw.
For full minute the voracious tish
circled about on the surface. with his
victim kicking and struggling, and
then he disappeared into the depths to
be seen no more. Several of the men
came running forward in response TO

except few ripples on the surface.
That night queer thing happened.
1t was clear moonlight night and at
midnight the man on lookout awoke
from stolen nap to find dcrelict
close aboard. The whole crew was
routed out to take action in case she
drifted aboard of us. but that did not
happen.
She approached within cables
length and then came to standstill.
She had come on us from the north,
being caught in some current per-
haps not over 200 feet in width. We
made her out to be brig. with both
masts and bowsprit gone, and she was
SO plainly drifting wreck that we did
not even hail her.
The next morning she still held her
place, and she was boarded for infor
nation. She proved to be the Polar
Star. from an American port. and the
last entry in her log referred to
gale in which she had been dismastcd
and was about to be abandoned. The
date was eight months old. All the
crew were willing to turn to. and we
took cargo out of the derelict which
afterward sold in Liverpool for $15.

a few ships have ever encountered,

themselves. and within an hour the
captain had given permission for a
boat to be lowered to make an inves
tigation. The mate and two men went
in the boat, and. beginning on the port
bow. they worked aft and around the
ship, When they were amidships on
the starboard side they began shout
ing and cheering. and the announce
ment was made that they had found
q body. Four or five feet below the
water line the copper sheathing had
been rolled up 10y some accident. aud

corpse was brought into view and
pulled away with a boat hook.
We must have picked him up as We
lay there. although it was curious that
a corpse shoulH be floating around
there among the sharks and not be de
voured. There ii WAS. however, and Il
| weight was put to the feet to send it
to the bottom.
And did that break the calm? The
log of the Tornado says that the breeze
came at noon. and she went flying
down to the Horn III her old style and
reached port without further adven-
ture. What the captain thought | do

one believed that had the dead man

moving freight trains ON the main line
of the Pennsylvania railroad came to-
gether at a point near St. Davids sta
tion about o'clock this morning. One
trainman was killed outright and two
tramps who were stealing a ride to the

trainmen had narrow escapes. Twenty
freight cars were wrecked and scat

such confusion that five hours after the
collision occurred three wrecking crews
had cleared only one Of the passenger
tracks. A dense fog which obscured
the lights and arms Of the semaphone

NO ARGUMENT
IN WATER CASE
Assistant Solicitor Asks for a
Postponement Which Was
Granted by Chancellor
WILL Be ARGUED SEPTEMBER "A
There Will Be No Argument in Mat
ter of Restraining Order Until City
Solicitor Harman Returns From
Europe Next Month.

Chancellor Nicholson sat I'm the Court Of
Chancery this morning to hear argument
in -he injunction brought by Jerome b.
Bell Alfred Gawthrop and Archibald s.
Reed, citizens and taxpayers Of Whining
ton and also members Of the Citizens
Association. to restrain the Water Com
missioners from paying 10000 to the
United States Sand and Filtration Com
pany.
AT the hearing this morning Thomas II
Bayard represented the complainants and
Assistant City Solicitor Baldwin Springer
represented the city. There was no argu-
ment. however as Mr.. Springer
moved for a continuance until September
H. when the city solicitor, who IS now
In Europe viii be home. Mr.. Bayard did
not ,biect to the continuance and it was
granted by the Chancellor.
The application for the restraining order
I'm this case was made by Mr.. Bayard
before Chancellor Nicholson in Dover on
Friday of last week, on behalf Of the
above named cidzens The check OF 500
600 referred to is In part payment for the
plans Of the proposed reservoir.
There has been a great deal Of interest
manifested i'm this case by the citizens of
the city as 1t is the general opinion that
1t is an excessive price for plans and It is
also claimed that the contract was never
examined by the city solicitor.
In the order filed last week before Chan
cellor, Nicholson the petitioners declare
that they are taxpayers in the city OF
Wilmington and as such have proportion
ate share OF the expense Of this water
plant to pay for and that they have nc
redress in the present case except to ap.
ply 20 the chancellor for relief. 1t Is de.
clared that the petitioners have been in.
formed thar the contract was never ex
amined and passed upon by the city so
licttor as required by an ordinance o.
the city and that It Is contrary 10 I'M
law Of the General Assembly passe,
April Is, 1883, concerning this matter an,
therefore Is void.
Continuing the order states:
I'VE are informed. and believe that tn
agreement dated March 81, 1903. was ex
eouted and delivered in manner and
form contrary to an act Of the Genera
Assembly OF the State Of Delaware, an,
passed at Dover, April IS. 1853 and is no
