OLD SAILING RECORDS.
Speed in Ocean Travel Shown by
Some American Ships.

Rowland Thomas. in Boston Herald.
In recent number of the Herald find
a statement of the remarkable passages
made in the last few years by the Ameri-
can ship Erskine w. Phelps, owned in
Bath, Me. The way in which the state
ment is put might lead a casual reader
to believe that all previous ocean sailing
records had gone by the board. / there
fore take the liberty of calling your at
tention to certain properly verified rec
ords made, most Of them, half century
ago.
The most noteworthy performance of
the Phelps, all things considered. is her
run from Norfolk, Va, to Honolulu. a
distance of 5000 miles. which she COW
cred in ninety-seven days, a daily average
of 155 miles. The record voyage over APP
proXimately the same distance is that of
the ship Comet, San Francisco to New
York, seventy-six days. In the same con-
nection must be noted the old ship
Northern Light, which averaged 200 miles
a day for the passage from San Francis
CO to Boston. and the truly memorab BILE
voyage of the famous ship Houqua,
Shanghai to New York, lightweight days.
The Phelps also has to her credit a
passage from New York to Java Head,
1900 miles in eighty days, averaging
1923 miles per day. The old East India
Blackwaller Alnwick Castle. not a clip
per, twice made the run from the channel
to the Sandheads at the entrance of the
Hoogly. an approximately equal distance.
in sixty-eight days. ! also have at hand
a clipping from the Daily Post of London.
pasted inside the cover of a seaworI
Bowditch which gives the record passage
from Melbourne to the Mersey as sixty
three days. The same skipper made two
other memorab BILE round trips England to
Melbourne and return. in the Black Ball
liner Marco Polo one in five months
twenty-siX days, the other in one or two
days over or under six months.
For bursts of speed the Phelps best is
very good indeed. An hours run of IA
miles, a days run of 800 and run of
$500 miles in twenty-SiX days, or an
average of go. That surpassss the old
record of the Swordfsh, Shanghai to San
Francisco thirty-one days. or an average
of 24O miles. But it must be remembered
that the run of the Phelps was made
wholly at sea. with open water and the
southeast trades broad abeam, while the
Swordfish had to get off the coast clear
of the China sea, and then pass north of
the zone of the trades. And the Phelps
best is small compared with the runs of
the real ocean racers. the old American
full clippers IA miles for an hour 800 for
day That crowned queen of the sea-
the beautiful old Flying Cloud, holds a
record which will probably stand to the
end of time. In a day of twenty-four
hours she made a properly verified run of
433 miles, an hourly average of IS knots.
And her rival, the Sovereign of the Seas
was but little behind her. 1t will be seen,
therefore, that the best of our day must
be much bettered to match the best of the
days when sailors sailed and looked down
from their poops with infinite scorn on
the steam which was moping along at
a humble six or seven knots.

HOTEL AT ANCHOR.
Features of New Floating Residence
Scheme.

From the London Mail
Capt. ]. N. Grose, the originator of
the floating hotel scheme at Falmouth,
said in an interview yesterday:
1--WE shall buy an old liner take the
engines out. remodel the interior and
anchor the vessel in Falmouth harbor.
There would be accommodation for about
100 guests of both sexes, and the tariff
would be somewhat less than that of a
first-class hotel on shore. We shall be
able to have bertlls and other apartments
somewhat larger than on a liner, but
domestic and, social routine would be
much the same, even to a captain presid-
ing over the ship and all servants being
dressed in nautical attire.
I'VE shall organize amusements on
board. and when the guests are disposed
TO leave the ship there will be boating and
fishing and the country TO explore We
and tennis and cricket grounds, and
perhaps a garage on shore. In winter
it is warmer on the water than OF land.
We shall run boom out from the side OF
the ship, and by sinking a net provide
safe sea bathing.
1.-The cost of upkeep will be small, as
there will be no rent or rates, and the
minimum OF dust and dirt. There are
hundreds of people who travel to and fro
on liners simply because they like to live
on the sea- Many of these, l am con-
WINGED, will patronize our floating hotel"
