Smoothing the Sea--Many Boats Have

Undoubtedly the effect Of thu oil Is
more pronounced In the case of small

impact of the waves against the bow or

them to break IN spite OF the oil. but the
small boat offers less resistance. and

Ing them the boat rides triumphantly
over the stormy water. stili. there are
many cases on record where large ves-

from destruction. by the free use Of OIL
The effect has sometimes been de-
scrfbed as almost miraculous. and there
is. believe. a rule prescribed by the
conditions Of marine Insurance requiring
the use Of oil ct sea. and this rule insures
the use OF oil even by sea captains who.
personally, have but little Faith In II.
One Of them Is quoted as SAYING: II use
oil according 10 prescribed rules. because

Suppose my weasel should be lost and the

But this same old salt. who apparently

statement containing significant con-
fession: "one big sea generally does tbs
damage in hurricanes. A sea as big az

Various kinds Of oil may be employed.
Fish oil appears 10 be q favar1ts with
many; others prefer lard oil or some kind
of vegetable oil; stu others cylinder oil
or mineral oil In fact. any kind OF oil
is effective. although not all are equally
so. The general method Of application
is to put the oil In loosely woven bags
such as gunny sacks or speci ally prepared
canvas bags. together with oakum. and
then TO pierce the sacks with holes,
through which the oil may slowly escape,
When at anchor the bags may be bent
to the cable ahead Of the boat From
ship running before gale the oil may
be dropped from the quarters. The bags
may also be suspended over the bow. OF
along the quarters or fastened TO, the
forward catheads. or aIiuwed to drip
through the forward water ciosats.
Whatever the manner OF application
the chief essential is that the oil shall
