was sent to the front, and the shelling

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, a hobby which has developed
into so important business that the
United States government is about to
bring out 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, passen-
ger was showing him an "Ally Slo-
per" watch he had received as a re-
ward for sending in the requisite num-
Der 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 watch The proprietors
of the paper also printed thousands Of
the coupons for the captain to use
during his voyages. The results were
astonishing and when he realized
what extraordinary distances some of
these sea messages covered before
they were picked up, he decided to
deal with the matter in serious and
methodical way. Every day a coupon
was placed in an empty beer bottle,
corked down and sealed by dipping
the neck in molten marine glue, which
sets hard. 1t was then thrown over.
board at noon.
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 a slip of pa
per in English, French, Spanish, Ger
man and italian:
This paper was put overheard for the
purpose of tracing ocean currents. The
finder to please forward, stating when
and where it was found and reap just

The captains name and address at
the offices of his company were ap-
pended. The "just reward" referred
to used to consist of a copy of
Froudes "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: 81 am sorry to
fnsinuate you that the copy of
Froude's 'Oceana' was not transmitted
to me-"
A bottle thrown overheard one day
near the Cape of Good Hope was,
after long interval, found on the
west coast of Scotland, having, it is
supposed, gone round by the West In
dian Islands, until it was caught by
the Gulf Stream and carried to it's
landing place. Shortly after his an
pointment to the Pericles, Captain
Simpson threw over a bottle when

was washed ashore five months later
at Parahyba, in the Brazils, having
travelled 1000 miles.
