> MARINE RE WT vy., 13 Great Economy of the St. Paul's Engines, When the illustration and full descriptions of the St. Paul's en- gines were published in the REviEw, of July 28, there was no data showing actual performance. Since then a full set of cards showing poth engines and the data below, has been furnished. Transatlantic steamer lines are very jealous of indicator cards and working data. The competition is so keen to beat the record that they watch one an- Baik baits Starb2 Engines Oe ecnsntsamarcle Qylinders 2-285"1-55,"1-79'2-77 x60" stroke Ford LP ShringIé = =o Ran iy For, LP.

These are the first cards published from these new American liners, and they are especially interesting considering the record breaking time made by them recently. . We believe the data will show them to be the most ecoronnedl engines of the kind in the world. The consumption of 1.22 pounds of Coal per I. H. P. shows an economy that is not obtained in merchant Service, and it is doubtful if the Campania can equal it. The cards are certainly a great compliment to the ability of Wm. Cramp & Sons as engine builders. Following' is the data: CARDS TAKEN JUNE 22, 1896. i . 198 . spouds.

P. cylinder Found in Old Ships. yee, Be War The utilization of apparent waste is, well exemplified 'in' the pais ing up of ships of various kinds, for every nail and every: chip are put aside for sale; but in the case of vessels of considerable tonnage, and especially of very old craft, finds both curious and valuable are by no means rare. To give a recent instance, an..old wooden. vessel that was broken up near Greenwich, only afew months back, revealed avery curious sight when some old planking in the forecastle had been torn down. Here, nailed up, were the two. mummified hands of a negro, and in the palm of each hand, and transfixed by the same nails that help the hands, were two counterfeit silver dollars. The hands had been hecked off roughly. <A :year or two ago the breaking up of an old schooner near Sheerness brought 1 to light be- neath the inner skin of the hull quite an elaborate. armament of a very old-fashioned kind, and a friend of the writer secured from among the many weapons ifataded a splendidly made _bell- mouthed flint-lock musket, the stock being marked with a representation of arm and leg fetters, and the name "Philip Steyne, Boston, Lincoln- shire." The most curious part of this find was a set of books--a privateer's books evidently--showing the capture of various French vessels. Tied up ina canvas bag 190 guineas of gold: swere! found a year or two back during the breaking up of an old vessel Iya ng. be- tween Birkenhead and New Brighton. With the money. were found, too, a most curious and unique set of foreign playing 'cards, some Tenaed dice, and three magnificent pieces of amber. All ee were found in the false bottom of a wooden bunk. But even during the breaking up of quite modern vessels, which have become wrecks, remarkable finds, particularly rernare to smuggling contrivances, are by no means rare. In a portion of a considerable wreck on the south-east coast only the winter before last the ship breakers found, hidden in a part of the engine room, a quantity of valuable jewelry an ber of newspaper clippings, and published portraits relating to a nd robbery at St. Louis, in the United States. The jewelry foun "was that described in the reports as miss- ing. Two of the men employed in the engine room-were drowned i in the wreck, but, so far as all inquiries made by the police could show, there was no clue to attach either the drowned men or the other en- gine-room hands with the published description and portraits of the 'murderer. The mystery was never cleared up. The manager of a ship breaker, a man who has been for forty years in the business, and who was especially sought out by the writer, told the latter that he could cite some hundreds of cases where hiding places for small articles smuggled by officers and men had been found, these being in connec- tion with nearly every part of the hulls piaken up, and he produced several articles that had been found by himself or his men. Many of these were false or duplicate bills of lading, and there were counterfeit foreign coins, a pair of heavy gold earrings with turquois in each-- probably stolen by one foreign seaman from another--a hand grenade with a cap to it, an old wig with three small gold nuggets wrapped in it and many other small trifles. 'At Rotherhithe, some years ago, "said he, "in the forepeak of a very old wooden merchantman, we found the skeleton of a lad jammed behind the skin of a vessel. The lad had been a stowaway in all probability. A gentleman at Rotherhithe keeps the skull now, or did till lately."--English Magazine.
