-- * beside the pelorus if you wish. With a little practice you can do the figur- ing in a few seconds. : : Set up your Pelorus, swing the card until it heads the same course as the "compass and then take the bearing. For example we will say that your 'compass gives you a bearing of 136. It must be 136 east because the sun 'is east of the meridan any time before NOOH, «>: Now find the correct Azimuth the book. _ You will find all the data you need | on the Pelorus card. Your slate will look like this when filled out-- We have found that our compass deviates 7 degrees to the right or east; Apply this to: the left. of your course or starboard your boat 7 de- grees., he: in NORTH x Sree Pe ects pe es FZ.

But it should have shown the bearing as 129, When "Or the Tae Marine REVIEW you allow enough to the left to make your bearing show at 129, instead of 136, you also swing your ship from the course A to the course B. You simply starboard. your boat 7 de- grees, This shows us how we found our Azimuth in Henrich's book of 'Azi- 'muths. The pencil lines drawn through the tables show the Azimuth in the corner. The time is 9:48. The ship's latitude is 42 and the sun's rays dec- lination is 12. Our Azimuth is 126. ATLANTIC COAST NOTES. Office of the Marine REVIEW, Room. 1005, No. 90 West St., New York City. The new freight steamer Gautemala, Compagnie Generale Trans- Atlantique; arrived at' New York on Monday, on her maiden voyage from Havre. The Gautemala is a 12-knot vessel of 6,200 gross tons and has a carrying capacity of 10,000 tons. She was built at Rouen and engine by a St. Nazaire firm. : The Hamburg-American Steamship Co. will pay no dividend this year, this being the decision arrived at on March 8, at the annual. meeting of directors. The decrease in the com- pany's earnitfgs, it was reported, is due to' depression in. the ocean-carry- ing trade coupled 'with the heavy 'competition forced on the line by the two big Cunarders. The Hamburg- American Co. paid a dividend of 6 per cent last year, the previous year's dividend being 10 per cent. ~There can: be little doubt-that pros- perity is returning to the. trans-At- lantic passenger trade, a general im- provement -being reported. in all de- partments of: traffic. The. Hamburg- American -liner Pennsylvania arrived at New York last Saturday with 2,016 third-class passengers, this being the largest number: of immigrants to ar- 9 hrs. 48 m. to 9 hrs. 16 m. : 2 hrs. 12 m. to 2 hrs. 44 m.

Jn addition to this large number of '\ird-class there were over 200 cabin passengers. The New York harbor mail boat Postmaster General, while engaged in unloading mail from the liner Majestic at Quarantine last week, was thrown . against the 'steamer and_ sustained some slight damage by the violence of the weather. The Majestic brought 3,914 bags of mail, this being an: un- usually large number for this season of the year. ae The Cunard line steamer Mauretania last week established a new record for the east-bound passage from Ambrose channel lightship to Daunt's rock. The entire distance was cov- ered at an average speed of 25.28 knots, the time taken being 4 days, 20° hours: and 2. minutes. The 'best previous record' was made by the Mauretania on her last trip, when she covered the course of 2,934 miles in 4 days, 20 hours and 27 minutes. 'The. schooner C.. H. Brown, fom Savannah to New York, was picked up last Friday five miles northeast of Winter -Quarter lightship, in a leaking and helpless condition, | She was towed to the Delaware break- water, her rudder having been broken. In order to prevent a recurrence of the Heredia accident of last week the United Fruit Company is to establish an extensive' system of lights along the Central American coast, through the narrows in that region for the guidance of navigators. Minor C. Keith, vice-president of the company, states that he will endeavor to obtain concessions from the governments of Nicaragua and Honduras, allowing the placing of beacons off the coasts. The Heredia ran on a reef at Cape Gracias Bend, off the coast of Nicaragua, mak- ing the third such disaster within a year. The British steamship Ben Cruachan, from Sagunto and Palomas, Spain, ar- rived at Girard Point on Monday and reported been compelled to burn her cargo of cork owing to her supply of coal running short. The steamer was 26 days making the pas- having sage and encountered a sticcession of gales, going far enough to the south- ward to sight the Madeira Islands. She burned a combination of coal and cork, having only seven tons of coal in her. bunkers when she arrived.
