BATTLING WITH AN ANCHOR.
Mammoth Mail hook W«» Difficult <•
Ilumlle When the Wave*
Were TouIdk It.
To hoist to the cat-head an anchor
weighing 8,000 pounds, with a gale of
wind blowing and a tremendous sea
rising, is a difficult task. The New York
Sun tells how this work was under
taken on a war-ship in Hampton Roads.
In order to raise the anchor to the deck
of the ship the hundred-pound cat-block
had to be fastened by the huge hook
which depended from it to the ring In
the balancing band on the anchor shank
so that the power of the winch could be
utilized.
The great anchor hung so that when
the wave receded it was clear of the
water, but each ipcoming crest sub
merged it several feet. As the ship
tossed on the waves there was great
danger that the enormous weight of
the anchor would send the anchor
through her thin plating. But with
seas big enough to toss the ship about
as eaFily as if she were but a fishing
float., and to swing that anchor back and
forth like the pendulum of a toy clock,
it was no child’s game to hook the cat
block.
Two men were chosen, each a fine
specimen of the American sailor. Just
under the arms of each a line was made
fast, and men on deck stood ready to
haul away in case of need.
The two sailors watched their chance,
and when the ship’s head was well out
of water, over they went. They had
hardly reached the anchor when a wave
rolled in that surged four feet above
their heads. When it passed both were
clinging, almost breathless, to the shank
of the anchor.
But the Instant they were clear of wa
ter they jumped to their work and
strove to get the block In place. With
the ship hauling one way and the wind
blowing another there was small chance
for them to drag that hundred-pound
block in still a third way. Again and
again they had it almost fastened., when
a great wave knocked it away and bur
led them far out of sight. Still the two
men struggled at their task.
Then the inevitable happened. The
great cat-block swung far out as the
ship plunged forward, hung poised an
instant, as if taking deliberate aim,
and came sweeping back straight at the
head of one of the two men. It struck
him on the back of the head' and
knocked him ten feet from the anchor
into the sea.
The rush of an Incoming wave swept
him away from the ship, and for a mo
ment it seemed as if he would surely
be lost. Then was Justified the wis
dom which had placed the line about
his shoulders. The men on deck drew
him in, unconscious but safe, and in
ten minutes he was declaring to the of
ficer in charge that he could surely hook
that block the next time^
But the captain had formed, anothei
plan. He determined to haul up the
anchor as far as was possible, so that
it should have the smallest room for
play, and to make harbor. Just at
nightfall she reached quiet waters, and
onoe more the unruly anchor was let
go again.
Nothing But Envy.
Chicago insists that typhoid germs
cannot live during the 250-mile trip
to St. Loui3 in the drainage canal, but
we know, remarks the St Louis Re
public, that any germ native of the
Windy City ir sufficiently lusty to
swim the Atlantic ocean, land in Eu
rope and organize a germ trust which
would greatly increase the foreign
typhoid fever business.
Tne strenuous Education.
The women of Kansas have won
their campaign for reform in the
schools, the principal feature of which
was that courtship may be carried on
in school hours. The classes in higher
education in that state hereafter, says
the Philadelphia Inquirer, will be un
der the direction of Prof. Cupid.
