gathering about her and doiig its worst
To pile up against her and hold her in
its grip. Worse than that, she was ly-
ing nearly broadsidc to the beach.
The salvers had Ia move quickly. The
immediate problem. when the tugs and
the two revenue cutters failed to bulge
her. was To lighter as much as possible
Of her cargo of tin. She had 3,i0O
tons OF this aboard. and tin is a COM
modify that has to Ice handled care
fully and protected from the sea water.
About "A quarter of her cargo of tin
was taken out OF the vessel and fully
5000 worth placed upon a single big
lighter which the owners of the For
ward had summoned tn the scene. Be-
cause OF the size of this particular
lighter and Of the very skilful work
~ the men employed that. precious
cargo was brought out Of the breakers
and delivered in good condition here
In fact. SO we'll was the work done that
the boxes were rs LITTLE harmed as
though the ship had unburdencd her
self right alongside of the dock. IN
fortunately, such was not the good
luck in the case of one Of the smaller
lighters. This vessel was foo ed and
the tin aboard was damaged
While the longshorcmcn were busy

busy running lines to the waiting tugs
and revenue cutters and also leading
lines to anchors by which the freightcr's

help get her OFF. Finally. when
enough of her cargo had been taken
out Of her. the tugs and the cutters
were arranged in two strings and their
engines driven at their utmost to draw
upon the connecting hawsers.

1tasca bridged this difficulty by his Sci
cntific knowledge and his ready adapta-
blity. This Is what happened:
by means of this crude plant tho
people aboard the freighter were abo
to communicate directly with the wire
less outfits on the two revenue cutters
and also with the Forward similarly
provided. The Forward. in turn, mega
phoncd instructions to the tugs on her
flank, and in this fashion all OF tho
salvage vessels worked in unison and
in just the right way. Their well
directed efforts. after some hours Of
struggling. finally got the Queer
Louise free so that she could come on
to New York unassistcd.
While the salvage of the ship was In
no wise the work of the life savers at
Manasquan, still those men did help to
get some of the salvers onto the
frcighter, and they also got "A line To
the ship and ran "A hr.eChes buoy to her
so that the first details Of her situation
and her needs could be sent on to New
York. But for their prompt action the
ship might have been left unaided long
enough to be unbeatable. The life saw
ers and the revenue cutters both did
yooman service; they did it without
thought of reward: and in the end 1t
was the long pull and the strong pull
Of the Itasca and Seneca that weighed
most against the suction of the sand
and made the relocating of the freightcr
possible.
1t Is just this kind OF service that
some OF the wrcckcrs want to have
withheld from stranded ships. 1t was
this friendly rivalry on the part of the
Government with which the late John
Arbuckle sought to compete. depending
for success upon an organization Of a
novel sort one flexible enough To meet
any situation. In short. he believed il
would be worth his while to go to- the
aid Of we'll nigh any craft-something
that has not commonly inspired the
average wrecking company.

pened when the representative Of the
freighter could not get any information
from the first salvors on the scene?
He was In Quandary and naturally
hesitated about closing a deal for the
wrecking or relocating OF the steamer
He told an officer of rival salvage
enterprise as much. The official was
alive to the crisis and promptly volun-
tcered to get him all the information
he desired.
But can you. mani" the agent OF
the ship owners asked. you can't
communicate with the people aboard the
Queen Louise and We can't reach the

"Oh, yes. We can. II you will let me

This is what followed:
"Give me the Marconi Company.
please, Central. Hello. Marconi. will
you please wireless the Itasca. of Man
asquan, and report to me what is the
| condition Of the steamship Queen Louise
and the chances OF moving her into
| deep water?'
In a few moments the telephone
rang and the Marconi Office here was
ready with the needful information.
Quickly an agreement was reached and
arrangements made for two salvage
| companies working upon per diem
basis to undertake the job. making 1t
| a matter Of competitive rivalry for each
| to do its best, with n very material
| difference in the probable cost to the
| owners OF the ship and the underwriters
OF her cargo OF tin. This was a thing
| unheard Of before. The ship and her
freight represented total OF quite
$3.50. OOO-a pretty tidy plum for any
wrecking concern working alone and
at the usual rates prevailing among
the long established companies OF this
sort.

Now here Is where the port facili-
ties Of New York came into the game.

cleus OF salvage enterprise. In the

There used to he little revenue
cutter In this district Of the name OF

tion and the late John Arbuckle
bought her and RENTED her for salvage
work. Her home station Is right here.
The Forward. unlike most OF the other
salvage craft, Is provided with q wire

the Queen Louise was also fitted with
a wireless installation. Now what han.

Another important feature Of the case
was the clash between the comma nder
u the revenue cutter Itasca and the
wreckng master who represented the
first Of the salvage companies on the
scene. According to the official report.
he skipper Of the cutter was given to
understand that the services Of his ship
were not needed. and the Itasca was
temporarily withdrawn. the Queen
Louise Icing left in q critical position
with the prospect that her ultimate
relocating would become a much harder
and more costly proposition for her
owners. The wrecking master belonged

WHY COVER CROP
BENEFITS THE SOIL
TAKES NITROGEN FROM AIR
RAILROAD FARM COMMISSION
Err GIVES PRACTICAL ILLUS
TRATION HERE.

In company with County Demon
stration Agent j. w. Parlier, C. O.
Carpenter, assistant commissioner of
agriculture sfor the Iron Mountain,
was exhibiting on the streets of Con-
way yesterday Afternoon samples of
the various cover crops. grown on the
railroads demonstration farm, south
of the city.
These crops include oats, winter
rye, vetch, burr clover and crimson
clover. In explaining the value of
these crops, Mr.. Carpenter stated that
the cover crops protected the land
during the winter by preventing
washing and the teaching out of plant
food, and that when turned under in
the late spring they furnished organic
matter which supplied food for the
crops grown during the summer, and
acted as storage space for water.
"Vetch, burr clover and crimson
clover have a special value as cover
crops" said Mr. Carpenter, "as they
are legumes; that is, their roots fur
nish home for bacterial life which
has the power to take nitrogen from
the air and make it available for the
vetch or clover"
Hundreds of little nodules or balls
of these bacteria were to be seen
among the many roots of the crimson
clover plants which Mr.. Parlier and
Mr.. Carpenter were exhibiting. "Nit-
rogen," said Mr.. Carpenter, sis the
most expensive element of plant food
purchased in fertilizers. There are
7O,OOO,0O0 pounds of this element
above every acre of land in the world,
and by growing these vetches and
clovers this nitrogen can be placed in
the soil in form available to the sue
ceeding crops.
"Good farm practice" said Mr..
Carpenter, always takes into account
and places in practice the use of these
wonderful plants, and the fact that.
so much interest is shown in the
'clovers' in the best farming sections,
explains why the soil in those sections
has high degree of productiveness.
This section has an advantage over
those farther north in that these le--
gumes may 6e used to furnish pas
ture during the winter and plowed un-
der in time to make a crop of cotton
or corn during the summer. In short,
we have two crop country and one
of the crops grown should always be-
