MYTHS

TT HERE is strain of the mystic in
~ mariners which viii never die.
For safetys sake they hold to mathe-
matical precision when necessary. But
deep in the long night watches come
over again the old apparitions of the
sea.
Even in the navy this holds. There's
the thick main armor belt poured and
forged by formula. There's the nice
complexity Of the anemometer. There
are drop-forged cranks and pistons.
and glistenng oil-tempered torpedo
tubes.
Yet who has not heard the whisper
of fog on the armor shelf? No doubt
Columbus knew that the lips of thick
weather on its way can always warn
the keen-eared ship captain. Though
the truth of the matter is that thick
weather comes with calm, and the
wash of sea alongside is then more
noticeable.
Ana who, in spite of anemometers
(wind velocity measurers), does. not
know that westerly wind will work
evil With ones compass? Though the
scientific fact is that homeward
bounders into Queenstown started this
myth. They were right too. For with
weeks on westerly trades the earth's
forces induce slight new magnetism
into the ships iron and so "works
evil with the compass needle"
There is the "weil-known attraction
of land on ships" which the old ras-
calls used to bring up in court after an
inexplicable grounding. They used to
get away with it too. But can you
imagine a better creed when one has Il
ifteen-mlIion-d0llar man-of-war and a
thousand lives on ones hands than to
believe that rocks and shoals are draw
ing the helpless monster into danger?
Is there a better spirit to keep man
eternally vigilant and alert?
Some old beliefs are very real Local
magnetic spots are not devils holes
as was first supposed. Off Madagascar
and in several parts of the South Paci-
fic arr areas of iron sand bottoms or
something of the sort British cruisers
have several times reported sudden
and extreme variations of their com
passes at these points.
