SUGAR UNPOPULAR
AS SHIP CARGO?

At first sight it would seem that
dynamite was q cargo to be carefully
avoided. But from a sailors point OF
view there are far more dangerous
loads. He breads, for instance, a
cargo Of sugar, says the Japan Ad
vertiser. Put hundreds Of tons ot
cane sugar in casks In the hold Of a
vessel and let the ship steam through
q belt Of hot weather. The odor Il
sickening. The sailors cannot get the
sweet taste out Of their mouths, crave
vinegar or lemon-iuice - anything
sour. They lose their appetites and
are always glad when q voyage on
which the cargo was sugar Ii over.
Coffee is as disagreeable as sugar,
In addition being very dangerous.
Cotton Il O. really dangerous cargo.
II q little oil happens to. touch raw
cotton the result is spontaneous com
,bustion. A single bale Of cotton
saturated with such an oil as boiled
linseed, and lying at the bottom Of q
hold, can be compared only to slow
match attached to bomb. 49,
Acids and other chemicals form
dangerous cargoes. Carbide OF cal
cium, for instance, Is more danger.
Gus than dynamite. Acetylene gas Is
made from this chemical and the gas
is constantly given off IL the product
Is exposed to air.
Shipmasters dislike carrying drums
Of acid where they cannot be reached
readily. A Chilean ship recently put
in at the falkland Islands leaking
badly. Her cargo was made mp Of
drums of acid and chalk. The acid
had leaked from the drums and mixed
with the chalk, forming carbonic acid
gas In the hold. This gas Is deadly
and the crew could not make repairs.
Meantime the acid had gathered at
the bottom OF the hold and eaten
away the iron frames Of the ship.

GERMAN WINDJAMMERS RENAMED;
BOARD WILL CHARTER THEM soon

News stories In the San Francisco
Chronicle Of recent date say that the
five German windjammers seized In
Pacific coast ports by the United
States when war was declared April
6 on Germany. have been renamed
with the names Of famous old vessels
OF the American clipper fleet which
made our merchant marine famous
back In the Sos.
Capt. A. F. Pillsbury, In charge Of
U. s. shipping board affairs in San
Francisco. has given the ex-German
sailing vessels their new names, as
follows:
Ottawa to Flying Cloud; Dalbek to
Red Jacket; Steinbek to Northern
Light. Kurt to Dreadnought and Arm
uldus Vinnen to Gamecock. Each Of
these clippers made many famous voy-
ages In days before the Civil War.
The Northern Light was built in
Boston in 1851 and made many trips
across the Atlantic, as well as around
the Horn to this port. Her fastest
voyage from San Francisco to Boston
was rs days and five hours, and she
made the round trip from the east
coast here and return. Including dis
charging and loading here, in exactly
seven months:
The Red Jacket was built in Rock
land, Me-, In 1S53-54 and was named
for an Indian chief, the likeness Of
whom was carved for her figurehead.
Her first trip was from New York to
Liverpool In the remarkable time Of
Is days and one hour, or an average
Of more than $50 miles . day.
= One Of the most famous of the old
clippers was the Flying Cloud, which
name the Ottawa now in this port is
to bear. She made a voyage from
Sand Hook to San Francisco in SO
days and one from this port to Homo
lulu In IL days. She also made many

Also famous was the Dreadnought.
which was built at -Newburyport.
Mass, in 1853, and which was wreck
ed. off Cape Horn In 1860. She made
the run from Sandy Hook to Liver
pool in Is days eight hours, and there
is legend to the effect that on the
same wage her time between New
York and Queenstown was nine days
and II hours, but this last has never
been accepted as official
The Gamecock was well known on
this coast for she was In the trade
between this port and the Orient for
many years. Her fastest voyage west
ward was a run Of 50 days from this
port to Hongkong.
Board Names Traffic Operator
The Chronicle also says that an
appointment which met with general
favor among shipping men In San
Francisco was the naming OF Harold
