IN THE WHEELHOUSE.
1t Is There That All the Forces of a
Great Vessel Are Directed.

Great Vessel Are Directed.
On entering the wheelhouse of an
ocean liner a landsman is likely to be
awed by the group of instruments and
masses of complicated machinery on
every hand. Your eye will first be
caught by the wheel or wheels, for Of
ten there are two or more of them, one
directly in line with the other. The
first of these Is an insignificant look
ing affair perhaps a foot or so in diam
eter, which seems out of all proportion
TO the work it must accomplish. Di
reCtly in front of 1t stands the ships
compass, while back of it are massed
many complicated wheels and levers
of the wheel into the great force which
guides the ship.
All the great steamers are steered
nowadays by the aid of steam or cleo
tricity. In the old days half a dozen
men at times would struggle with the
wheel in high seas, and sailors have
been killed by the rapid revolving Of
the projecting spoke handles. The
modern steering gear makes it posi-
BILE TO guide these great ships with the
slightest pressure. The rudder. weigh
ing many tons, is perhaps 500 feet
astern, yet with a touch of the polish
ed wheel the great 100 foot ship will
swing from side to side with almost
the delicacy OF a compass needle. The
wheel that the steersman operates
merely governs the steering engine,
which, in turn, moves the great rud-
der.
The most astonishing thing about
the bridge is TO find the wheelhouse
with all It's curtains tightly drawn. as
often happens, and the man at the
helm steering the boat without see
ing ahead at all. At night or even by
day II the light of the pinnacle is con-
fuSing the wheelhouse is often com
pletely shut in. The man at the wheel
it Is explained. does not need to look
ahead. The lookout high up in the
crows nest" and the officer on watch
on the bridge will keep him informed
if any object is sighted. The duty of
the man at the wheel is to keep the
ship on her course. Throughout his
watch of four hours he must keep his
eyes on the compass and nowhere else
On one side of the wheelhouse are
posted the sailing directions, which
give the wheelsman explicit orders.
The course TO be followed for the day
is placed in a neat little rack called
the compass control. 1t suggests the
rack in church at the side of the pull
pit which announces the number Of
the hymns and psalms for the days
service. The compass control will an
nounce. for instance, y, 7, s. W, or
some such formula. The wheelsnan
giances at this as he takes his watch
at the wheel and holds the great ship
exactly on this course until he is re-
lieved--Francis Arnold Collins in ST

TALE OF THE SEA.
The Upside Down Cruise of the Cap
tain Of the Erndte.

tain Of the Erndte.
An almost incredible instance Of the
perils attending those who go to sea
was the basis Of story told in mari
time cour of DantZic some years age
by the captain of the sailing ship
Erndte. Nothing that Jules Verne,
Clark Russell and II. G.. Wells ever
fancied in thesf wonderful tales sur
passed the story told by Captain En-
gellandt.
He had sailed from Memel with a
cargo Of planks for Oldenburg The
captain remained at the wheel during
gale which overlook the vessel next
night and at in the morning went to
his cabin to change his wet clothes.
He had just got into dry undercloth-
ing when his vessel capsized. and he
found himself standing on the roof Of
the cabin. the door of which the sea
had Theoretically closed.
BY loosening the boards Of what was
now the roof he got into the hold.
which contained only loose sails. For
tunately some shelves of high cup
board remained intact, and from them
he collected some cans OF condensed
milk. some prunes, rice. sugar and sau-
sage He also found a hammer.
For twelve days the master Of the
ship lived in his prison. eating as spar
ingly as possible and drinking sea
water. which appeared to have no i'll
effect on him. He employed his free
time in hammering on the steel bottom
of the ship TO attract the attention OF
passing vessels. He knew when it was
day, for dim light penetrated the
water
On the twelfth day the Norwegian
steamer Aurora sighted the wreck and
sent n boat TO take IL in tow. Engel-
landt had fallen asleep; but, hearing
footsteps oveE his head. he began
knocking With bis hammer and shout
ing for help. The Aurora's men re-
turned TO their ship for tools. with
which they bored a hole through the
bottom OF the Erndte where they had
heard the shouting. When they drew
out their drill. n mans finger followed,
and they soon learned that Engellandt
had food for four days more and wish
ed to be lowed 10 land. for II was i'm
