Some of them have never been through a storm’ and ‘are anxious for the experiencg. Others desire to have the storm last from about three minutes to several| hours, while I know of others who absolutely fear an upheaval of the sea. To the sailor there scems to be wjust one storm after another. There are times when the American and | other ships which I have command- | ed made the crossing without a roll | or pitch and then again there are| times when the vessels encountered | a succession of gales .- i paiii storms ravaging shipping and been comparatively mild with vir- tually no snow while Chicago and the middle west have cndured ex- tremely low temperatures. The sea is no different. Cover- ing a tremendous area, it has its temperate and frigid, calm and rough zones. The winds have a great time playing across the vast expanse of water sweeping with terrifie force in the winter time from the North Pole to the South Pole and no breakers to interfere. Just eastward of the Grand Banks the winds become violent, driving the seas before them in mountam- ous numbers. This is the area re- Clear | forred to by the sailor as “The Re Forties” The mnext time you hear that expression you wil know that it refers to the regzion of the Atlantic that marks the cen- ter of Davy Jones' locker rather than the white light district alonp Broadway. ! The winter of 1925-26 was on the North Atlantic and January of that season was one of the {worst. It was during this mont} that the Antinoe found wel as numerous other smaller ship: Several tr: -Atlantic ve: re. ported paséing t ugh four to five d ct storms on their voyage Prior to this fime s cxperi- enced a rough wint in 1911-12 Thirteen years e betwee: these severe seasons whereas ther is a repetition of onl three winters During the nter months o! forceful winds there is not so muct fog menacing navigation. However (there is plenty of rain, snow anc¢ ;hail squalls which the sailor usual- ly places in the same category as ifog. A heavy snowfall is as bad i hot worse, than a dense fog. Witk this type of weather the skies arc ably overcast, preventing ob ations. Periods of these great fogs on the North Atlantic ar i the months of Novemba; It is imy ect and time of the {a voyage without storm or fog bu | the summer months are pretty gooc gambles although they, too, car stage a good show for the inexperi: jenced TC # est I have often read accounts in thc spapers telling of waves at set from 75 to 100 feet in heig} You {will find that such statements ar |credited to passengers and never to the master of the vessel for evert n knows t the highes mbers are the so-called cumula- | tive waves as high as 25 feet. While ‘a passenger liner*is going throug y seas a pa rer gets a dis torted idea of the height due t the fact that the ship is rolling.

As a matte of fact the vessel rolled to an angle that made it possible for the comb- jer to strike it with terrific force and cause the damage.

In the case of the Florida, the sea was fairly mod- |crate when Chief Officer Harry Manning started out with his boat crew. Slowly and almost without | warning a hail squall struck us and the wind was whipped to gale force making the return from the Florida ito the America extremely hazard- ous. Considering the extreme condi- tions we are frequently obliged to face the number of marine casual- ties are very small, due to the eare and efficient handling of these huge ocean greyhounds in tumul- tous seas. a i convinced th: (Tomorrow: Antinoe Rescue, Part T) R NOUTICE The -Alaska Mendenhall Fur Farm will be closed to visitors from March 10 to July 13, in- clusive.
