first vessel to introduce triple expan-
sion engines. A little later, while in
command of the steamship Austral-
asian, he began to take an interest In
tracing the trend and speed of ocean
currents, hobby which has developed
into SO important a business that the
United States government is about to
bring out a new set of charts entirely
drawn from his data.
These valuable records which now
fill many bulky log books, had their
origin in joke. On one of his voy-
ages. nearly 80 years ago. a passen-
ger was showing him an ALLY Slo-
per- watch he had received as re-
ward for sending in the requisite num-
ber of coupons to an illustrated COM
ic paper. The captain jocularly re-
marked that he would try to earn a
watch also. and accordingly had the
coupon in the comic sheet manifolded
and dropped overheard in beer bottles
every day throughout the voyage.
On his return to London, Captain
Simpson was surprised to find that
many of the coupons had reached
their destination, and he was duly pre-
sented with a watch. The proprietors
of the paper also printed thousands of
the coupons for the captain to use
during his voyages. The results we're
astonishing and when he realized
what extraordinary distances some of
these sea messages covered before
they we're picked up, he decided to
deal with the matter in serious and
methodical way. Every day coupon
was placed in an empty beer bottle,
corked down and sealed by dipping
the neck in molten marine glue. which

Messages Of His Own.
When his supply of coupons had
been exhausted. Captain Simpson pre-
pared a message of his own. and the
following was printed on slip of pa
per in English. French. Spanish. Ger
man and Italian

Froude's "Oceana."
Bottles have landed on the shores
of Portuguese and French Guinea, on
the coast of Africa, and, in fact, in
almost every quarter of the globe.
Many have been picked up by natives,
who imagined they had secured a
prize in the carefully sealed beer bot
tie, and their chagrin on drawing the
cork can be easily imagined. A negro
in Sierra Leone, who picked up bot
tie and did not receive the promised
reward. wrote to say: II am sorry to
