Sea Upheaval Reported
BY Baltimore Skipper

Corporation. was In Baltimore last
week 20 discuss the inauguration Of
the company's line from this port 70
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland
and Seattle.
Captain Mumford Of the steamer
Beatrice, In port from Port Tampa, re-
ported an unusual experience at sea-
At p. m. Thursday. when the Beatrice
was IN the vicinity Of Cape Lookout.
the temperature suddenly rose from 70
20 100 degrees on deck. Thermometers
in the living apartments recorded 81
degrees. A short time later the ship
ran into a confused sea, which was dis
colored as II there had been a sub
marine disturbance In the vicinity.
The disturbance must have been viO-
lent, as the Beatrice was steaming
through water twenty-five fathoms
deep. For some time the discoloration
continued. At nlghtfall the tempera-
ture dropped suddenly 10 30 degrees.
The Shipping Board steamers Cush-
noe and Chipshung, which have been
laid up for more than a year. left last
week to Join the idle feet in the James
River. They were in tow OF the tugs
Butterfeld and Menominee.

man began 20 act queerly, in an un-
usual sea. She continued 20 roll and
pitch for some time. Upon arrival at
Antofagasta Captain Oma found that
he wireless tower had toppled over.
There was no other sc ious damage, he
says, and no loss OF life. The same
