When a ship Turns TurtIs.

To turn turtle" means. in nautical
language. that a ship rolls too heavily,
fails to recover herself and after
brief period on her beam ends turns
topsy turvy, so that her keel points
skyward. Then, OF course, she sinks.
Frequently the compressed air impris-
oned I'm her hull blows her bottom out
as she goes down. or II she is a steam
er her boilers burst. with like results.
AS a rule, ships turn turtle because
they are burdened with too much "top
hamper" or from lack Of sufficient bal
last. or both causes combined. Rarely
does It happen that there are any sur
vivors, but there is one notable excep-
tion IN the case of the battleship Cap
tain, which was lost after this fashion
In the bay Of Blscay. In her case ex-
actly three minutes elapsed from the
time she first turned turtle until she
finally sank. and forty OF her crew OF
800 men clambered up her side as she
rolled over and on to her keel. OF
these eighteen men we're eventually
rescued aud were able to describe later
on precisely what occurred.-Pearson's-

Saturday night West made such a
great showing. considering that 1t was

assured the Wilmington fans that
West will go up against man of his
own weight In the next mill. instead
of having to fight a 140 FOUNDER, as
was the case on Saturday night.
West started off like an easy Win
ner, making good use of his straight
lefts, but Byrne woke up I'm the nth
round and fought so hard that the
Wilmington boy had to be satisfied
with q draw IL was only the whirl-
wind finish that saved Byrne from
the short end. After 1t was over
Byrne admitted that West was the
toughest boy he had ever met.
