A SHIP IN A STORM.
The Peril When Wind and Water Rage
In Opposite Directions.


In a storm at sea. with gale blow
Ing in one direction and the sea run
ming in the opposite direction. it takes
a sGaneh ship to stand the water pres
sure on one side and the contrary wind
pressure on the other.
Stability is one Of the greatest prob
lens TO the constructor Of a steamship.
Naturally the center of gravity should
be low. The hull must be of such a
form that when the vessel rolls to one
side the center of buoyancy shall move
sufficiently far TO that same side for
the forces Of buoyance acting upward
to right the vessel.
A badly designed ship is liable to
many dangers If light in the stern the
screw may come out of the water. race
and be snapped Off. If too low in the
stern when running before a storm
breaking waves may fall on board and
so tend to swamp the vessel. A ship
may be topheavy; there comes a mo-
ment when the upward force Of buoy
ancy no longer tends to right the ship.
but instead exerts its force In pushing
the ship still farther out Of perpendicu-
lar, with the result that she capsizes.--
