capt Benjamin Jones, OF tho Johnston
line steamer Quernmore, while passing
in the Capes recently from Liverpool for
this port. reported that when two miles
OF the Virginia capes the sound of the
fog signal at Cape Henry could not be
heard but that ne distinctly heard the
fog signal from the light vessel sta
toned on the Tail Of the Horseshoe.
four miles away
The Wind was light from the south
west, and according TO all presidents
the fog signal from the nearest station
should have been clearly heard. Cap
tain Jones also repor5s another in
stance OF the capriciousness of sound on
a recent trip from this port. while pass
ing the bellbuoy at the mouth of the
channel On approaching the buoy.
not a sound could oe heard, and even
while passing within 500 feet OF the
buoy, no warning sound could be heard
although the buoy was seen oscillaJing
in the light southwest wind. After
passing tire buoy about half a mile, the
clang OF - bell could be plainly heard.
The stran-~ phenomenon is explained
by officials of the lighthouse depart
ment. who stats that it II a weli-known
fact that SOUND ricochets and that is is
a common occurrence for fog signals 10

be heard at a great distance, while in a
nearer zone the sound could not be dis
tinguished at all. which indicates that
The sound waves after leaving the sta
ton strike the water and ricOchet up
ward, striking the water further on, and
continuing on in that way for a consid-
erable distance.
An instance occurred several years
ago. 1t was stated, when a vessel sailed
from New York for this port The yes
sci was steaming down the coast TO
make Northeast End light vessel with
the WIND light from the southeast.
When within six miles of the light YES
sci the steam fog whistle could be
plainly heard, but when the ship was
of the light vessel not a sound could
be heard. although the steam could be
seen at intervals coming from the whis-
tie. After passing the lightship the
sound never returned
Another instance OF the capricious
character of sound waves was reported
recently by a master Of steamer ap-
preaching one of the ports in ireland.
The first sound OF the fog signal was
heard when the vessel was within
twenty-five miles of the station, but
after passing the light station. eight
miles inland. the sound ceased alto
gether. It is believed that the cause OF
many wrecks have been due 10 the pecu-
liarity of sound waves. which ricochet
