THE OLD SAILING SHIPS.

Why the wooden Ones Were Better
Than Those Built of Iron.
: The sailing ship when 1 knew her in
the days OF her perfection was sensi-
bic creature. When say her days of
perfection 1 mean perfection of build,
gear. seaworthy qualities and ease of
handling. not the perfection of speed.
That quality reached its highest ex-
eeilenee In the discovery OF hollow
lines and departed with the change of
building materiaL
None OF the iron ships of yesterday
ever attained the marvels Of speed
which the sea4nanship OF men famous
In their time had obtained from their
wooden, copper sheeted predecessors.
Every thing had been done to make
the iron ship perfect, but no wit of
man had managed to devise an efficient
coating composition to keep her bot
tom clean with the smooth cIeanness
Of yellow metal sheetinG. After q
spell of few weeks at sea an iron
ship begins to lag as If she had grown
tired too soon. 1t is only Eer bottom
that Is getting foul.
A very little affects the speed " a
ship that is not driven on by an unttr-
ing propeller Often 1t Is impossible to
tell what inconsiderate trIde puts her
OF her stride. certain mysterious
ness hangs around the quality of speed
as it was displayed by the old smiling
ships commanded by competent. sea
men. In those days the speed was
still matter for the seaman's care.
Therefore, apart from the laws, rules
and regulations for the good preserva-
ton of his cargo, he was careful of his
loading. of what is technically called
the trim OF his ship. Some ships sailed
best on an even Keel, others had to be
trimmed quite one foot by the stern
md have heard Of ship that gave
her best speed on wind when so
loaded as to float couple of inches
