Little Romance Left In the Sailor
Life Great Change Madu
In Recant Years.
I Washington S:ar.)
If s;ta.m am) electricity have, as ha
ben said, killed romance at ia." ihey
have also relieved Jack Tar and his
officer of most of the soul-kiiling work
and a majority of the perils which
formerly made their practical Hws
anything but romantic in fact. I
Most of the modern shipV heavy
work is done by machinery, and the
orders for its doing are conveyed, not
by "the hoars? note of the speaking
trumpet," but by precise electrical Im
pulses communicated through the
agency or tne mecnanicai-magnetic
telegraph.
Only old-fashioned wooden vessel. or
coasters of inconsiderable tonnage de
pend today upon the "beef and brawn"
of the men in their forecastles for the
prrformance-of those tasks of drudgery
which in the days of yore occupied
much of a sailor's time and made of
his existence ntloaf and alongside the
dock of arrival or "departure a burden
to be borne only In the hope of easUr
times in the future.
The modern ocean-going vessel, bv
her means of propulsion steam or sails,
and be h?r business the carrying of
freight, passenger or malls, is equipped
with a great variety of mechanical de
vices which relieve the men of her
company of most of the work demand
ing nothing hut physical exertion. In
cidentally, these devices, of course, re
duce the numbers of men employed in
the ships, on the man-per-ton ratio,
and make necessary the presence In the
forecastles and engine rooms of a high
er quality of intelligence than was nec
essary under the simple old system.
Bui the reduction of men is com
pensated by the multiplicity of the
ships, and the circumstance of con
stantly increasing tonnage.
Doubtless romance or picturesque ef
fect suffers in the substitution of a
puffing, rattling steam-windlass for the
old-fashioned capstan a round which
thirty men crept In slow, circular pro
cession, timing their steps to the
cadence of a sailor's "chantey," as they
laboriously "broke out" an anchor or
warped their craft to mid-stream pre
paratory, to sailing.
The "chantey's" characterise ic words
and music would be drowned in the
clatter ot pistons and cogs alniard a
modern ship, but the anchor comes
aboard in half the time it used to take
to hoist it, and the thirty men may
be bending intelligent eftort to per
forming tasks mere important and in
finitely Uss straining than that of rais
ing it.
So. ukj. with the work of hoisting
the heavy sails aboard a -modern
freighter, which depends upon canvas
for its mobility. In the old days a ship
of SJU tons would perforce carry a crew
of sixty men. When sail was to be
made or shortened quickly the yards
of her thin spars would swarm with
agile figures, long lines of men would
"tail on" to her braces, halliards and
stay, and the canvases would labor
iously rise in regular impulses to the
lugubrious measures of a song.
The sailing ship today carries don
key engines, steam windla.es at every
hatch for hoisting cargo, and another
on her forecastle for use in handling
the anchors. he has steam "gypsies"
fed from her donkey bailers, a; every
mast-toot, and the work of getting Iht
anchor or hoisting her canvas involves
only the expert effort of an engineer
and a dozen nv so men aloft, who. as
they perform the light labor of loosing
reef-points and overhauling clewgar
nets. do not think of "Paddy Jones"
or his traditional boots unless U b to
offer up a thanksgiving that the system
associated with their memory has
passed.
But the profitable ship of tod ly.
freighter or liner, is the steam-driven,
twin-screwed carrier of tremendous
tonnage and high speed. Sh earns
dividends where the best of the sailing
ships em up their profits in delays due
to wind and weather even after the
important item of coal consumption
has been taken into account. And the
profitable ship is profitable because ap
plied science has substituted the
machine which draws no wage for the
man. who must be paid, anil becauso
the coal she burns gives her practical
independence of the moods of win!,
wave and current.
The modern freight carrier and th
modern "ocean greyhound" differ onlv
in their interior arrangements and ex
terior lines. One is a floating hotel,
built for high speed: the other a tloai-
ing warehouse built for cargo capacity
and steady going. Their machinery,
with a few individual peculiarities, "is
the same, and of that machinery there
: is no end at least to the eye of a lay
man.
Most of the new ships of the mer
chant marine are propelled by twin
screws driven each by a triple expan
sion engine of highest ithclency. A
dozen double-end Scotch boilers supply
their main and auxiliary engines with
steam at a pressure of l."0 to 2)
pounds to the square inch.
Besides the main engines, a modern
vessel will contain in the depths below
her water line, and on her decks, from
ten to thirty smaller engines, each

The use of the Vacuum

that the Vacuum Oil Com
