OCTOBER 17, I90I. THE MARINE RECORD. FLOTSAM. JETSAM AND LAGAN. Capt. Henry Balfour, late of the schooner Keweenaw, whose home was at Marine City, died at the marine hospital, Sault Ste. Marie, on Tuesday. The Marconi Wireless Telegraphy Co. and Lloyd’s Ship- ping Agency, in London, have entered into an agreement whereby the stations of the agency throughout the world are to"be ‘equipped with wireless telegraphy. ‘The steamer John N. Glidden collided with the end of No. 3 ore dock at Escanaba on Tuesday and sank in a short time. The crew escaped. The Glidden was loaded with iron ore, and in getting away from the dock the collision occurred, The directors of the Cunard Co., having satisfied them- selves of the utility of the Marconi system of wireless tele- graphy by its trial on the Lucania, have now decided to fit the systen on the whole of their Saturday mail-boats between Liverpool and New York, Efforts are being made by the National Board of Steam Navigation to have motor craft “ofall kinds placed under control of the United States:steamboat inspectors. A_ bill will be drawn up and presented to Congress requiring the smallest gasoline or naphtha launch, dinghey or tender to be placed under the charge of a‘licensed engineer. The big floating steel dry-dock, built at Sparrow’s Point, ‘Md., and destined for the ‘naval station at Algiers, La., started on its journey south. The risks of: the’ voyage are assumed by the builders of the dock, an arrangement having been made by which the government will not come into possession of the dock until delivered at its destination. _ Captain J. H. Cameron, of the bark Theobald, reports to the'braiich hydrographic office, San Francisco, that on June 1op1ger, at 2a: °m:, while running along with a moderate breeze and a perfectly smooth sea, a sea rolled up, breaking all over, the vessel. It was accompanied by a rumbling sound, which lasted for about a half hour, when the sea be- came perfectly smooth again. Latitude N. 54° ‘18’, longi- -tude W. 164° 10%. An Ottawa man suggests to the Montrea? Hafbor Coni- missioners a novel idea for keéping the channel between Quebec and Montreal open durihg the winter months. He would have a number of tugs engaged to break the ice. These Boats would store the ice, and then sell it to defray their expenditure. He was not prepared to give an estimate of the cost of the work, nor the revenue,to.be.derived from: the sale of the ice. 4 One of the directors of the Norwegian fisheries has been endeavoring to discover the height a salmon will leap when clearing a waterfall which. obstructs its passage up stream. Masts were placed below the fall to insure accurate measure- ments. Itis stated that a fish can leap to the height of 20 feet. When a fish failed to clear the fall at one bound, it remained in the falling water, and then, with a rapid twist to the body, gave a spring and was successful. An excellent story was told at a recent meeting of the Pharmaceutical Society of Great: Britain. It appears that on board a certain ship there was a well-stocked medical chest, with ample instructions for the use of the contents, but no doctor. A sailor fell ill, and displayed symptoms which required a dose from No. 9 bottle. The bottle in question, however, was empty. ‘‘Never mind,” said the captain, ‘‘give him equal parts of 4 and 5.”’ As to the disaster which recently befell the British turbine - torpedo boat destroyer Cobra, it is reported from London that the Admiralty themselves incline to accept the belief that the construction of the vessel was faulty, In order to obtain a speed of 40 miles an hour the vessel’s plates wee made very thin, while the machinery was abnormally heavy. The result was that when the boat caught bow and stern on the crest of two waves it broke amidships of its own weight. sii 40 “et Gar VESSELS CLASSED. © - The:vessels classed and rated. this week, by the American Bureau of Shipping in the ‘‘Record of American and Foreign Shippirg,”” New York, are as follows: Screw steamer Hy- drographer, Schooner Baker Palmer, schooner Sallie C.
