 BATTLING WITH AN ANCHOR.
Mammoth Mudhook Was Difficult te Handle When the Waves
 Were Tossing It.

To hoist to the cat-head an anchor weighing 5000 pounds, with a gale of wind blowing and tremendous sea rising, is difficult task. The New York Sun tells how this work was under taken on war-ship in Hampton Roads In order to raise the anchor to the deck of the ship the hundred-pound cat-block had to be fastened by the huge hook which depended from it to the ring in the balancing band on the anchor shank so that the power of the winch could be utilized.
 The great anchor hung so that when the wave receded it was clear of the water, but each incoming crest sub merged it several feet. As the ship tossed on the waves there was great danger that the enormous weight of the anchor would send the anchor through her thin plating. But with seas big enough to toss the ship about as easily as if she were but a fishing float, and to swing that anchor back and forth like the pendulum of toy clock, 1t was no child's game to hook the cat block
 Two men were chosen, each a fine specimen of the American sailor. Just under the arms of each line was made fast, and men on deck stood ready to haul away in case of need.
 The two sailors watched their chance, and when the ships head was well out of water, over they went. They had hardly reached the anchor when wave rolled in that surged four feet above their heads. When it passed both were clinging, almost breathless. to the shank of the anchor.
 But the instant they were clear of wa ter they jumped to their work and strove to get the block in place. With the ship hauling one way and the wind blowing another there was small chance for them to drag that hundred-pound block in still a third way. Again and again they had it almost fastened when a great wave knocked 1t away and bur led them far out of sight. Still the two men struggled at their task.
 Then the inevitable happened. The great cat-block swung far out as the ship plunged forward, hung poised an instant, as If taking deliberate aim, and came sweeping back straight at the head of one of the two men. It struck him on the back of the head and knocked him ten feet from the anchor into the sea.
 The rush of an incoming wave swept him away from the ship, and for mo- ment 1t seemed as if he would surely be lost. Then was justified the wis dom which had placed the line about his shoulders. The men on deck drew him in, unconscious but safe, and in ten minutes he was declaring to the of ncer in charge that he could surely hook that block the next time.
 But the captain had formed another plan He determined to haul up the anchor as far as was possible, so that 1t should have the smallest room for play, and to make harbor. Just at nightfall she reached quiet waters, and once more the unruly anchor was let go again.
