The outlook for foreign trade after the

Germany will be able to furnish good
articles at low prices on account OF

the progress made in all branches OF

Derelict as Sea Anchor

Tow in Gale That Kicked the Waves
Into Mountains.

wreck wallowed in the jumbled waters
it was possible to make speed OF only
three or four knots an hour.
Wireless reports on the evening OF
September told Of the approach of a
hurricane, and indicated that the Miami
would be directly in the path of the
storm. The easiest course would have
been for the Miami to cut loose from
her tow and run away from the centre
Of the storm. Derelicts are so dim
cult TO locate and are such q menace
10 commerce that Lieutenant Blake
commanding the Miami, decided to take
a chance of pulling his prize into port
notwithstanding the approaching storm.
AT s p. m. lightning streaked the
southeast and BY midnight the wind was
a strong gale. with accumulating inten-
sity. The next morning il was blowing
a whole gale out of the north northeast,
kicking the sea into mountains. A rap
idly falling barometer and driving
rain increased the fury of the storm.
Up to this point the Miami with her
tow had been fairly weathering the
gale, heading up to the sea, but soon
she was unable TO hold up and COM
menced TO roll heavily.
"The hawser was thereupon shifted
from the towing bits aft and brought
in through the bow chock, the engine
stopped, and the Miami allowed 10 ride
to the derelict as sea anchor. 1t was
a splendid piece of seamanship to shift
the hawser in the circumstances, as
several heavy seas broke over the quar-
terdeck and one Of them swept Gunner
Darnou of his feet and painfully in
jured his back.
Oil Had No Effect.
AT a. m. the storm had reached
hurricane force, blowing with veloc-
ity Of between 90 and 100 miles an
hour. The seas were enormous and
broke heavily. The oil seemed TO have
but little effect during this period. The
cutter was enveloped in a white smoth-
er Of rain and spray and the derelict
was swept clean by the seas and sub
merged more than half the time.
About 1880 a. m. the barometer
steadied and commenced to rise almost
as rapidly as it had fallen. BY noon
the sea had subsided to such an extent
that the hawser was again shifted to
the towing bits and the course to Key
West resumed. where the cutter ar
rived safely on the 4th instant"
This is probably the first time a
derelict has ever been used as sea
anchor in a hurricane. The report
shows it was very effective in holding
the ships head up 10 the terrific seas
and the hurricane force Of the wind.
The commanding officer speaks in the
highest terms OF the Miami's qualities
as a sea vessel.

captain who has prodigious talent
for imitation.
Some months before the war this
captain found himself in hall of the
imperial palace at Potsdam. He was
there with others Of his friends who
were officers. and began an imitation
of the kaiser with extraordinary pre-
cision in tone. quality Of voice, ges-
ture and appearance. All at once
there was terrible silence. wilhelm

manned motionless.
