Captain Kuhlmann, of the North German Lloyd steamer Main, has reported in Berlin some incceeeful experiments in the use of oil during the prevalence of heavy seas on the voyage between Bremen and New York. He secured a success “great beyond conception. Captain Kuhlmann’s own words are as follows :—“We were in 50deg N. and 23deg W., in stormy weather, and-with a high sea from the west. We steered west and thus had the sea right in front of us, so that the vessel pitched and rolled badly, taking the heavy seas at her bow. The passengers could not remain on deck for the seas which rolled from the fore part and flooded the deck, and, moreover, the boats hanging in the davits threatened to be washed away in the shifting of the vessel. I resolved in this emergency to experiment wi' h oil, and two pipes opening on the sides of the ship were stooped with tow and then filled with oil, which flowed slowly through the tow. I soon observed the effect, for from the fore-shrouds to the stem no water came over. The sea had loot its power by the reason of oiling. We opened the doors and approaches, and the passengers could stay on deck at will. The oiling waa continued for seven hours, and the small quantity of 31b, was used.’’ Captain Kuhlmann ia so elated with his experience that he advises other navigators to adopt the plan. .Remember Thio.
