TREMENDOUS STORM AT SEA
The following singularly interesting narrative
H communicated to the Liverpool Commercial
Chronicle of May 12. ,
• < Ship New- York, Prince's Duck, Liverpool, <
‘ MAY 11, 1827 J
<: Sir—T trust that, although a stranger, I shall
bnd a sufficient apology, in the very uncommon
nature ofthe occurrences herein described, for
troubling you with «h- detail of the following par-
icular This ship has been
' tningon her present voyage from New-York.
On the f 9 th of April, our third day out on the
Gulf Stream, (la*. 389 N. long. Cl 17 W. at
noon) about half past five in the morning .being,
in our births, we were roused by a sound like tha
report of heavy cannon close to our ears. In a
moment we were all out, and the cabin and all
D'irts of the shin were filled with a dense smoke,
bavin"' a strong smell of snlphur. From the deck
the word was quickly passed that the ship had
been struck with lightning, and was on fire. The
consternation which for some minutes prevailed
,nav be more«asilv imagined than described.—
Every one ran
at iny watch, which marks seconds. I counted
four when the report followed ; 1 felt no alarm,
however, having frequently known it to approach
nearer without any injury. At 2 o’clock we
were astonished by another shock like that in the
morning ; the flash and sound simultaneous. 1
happened to be in the cabin with another passen
ger ; a bail of fire seemed to dart down before us ;
at the same moment the glass in the round house
came rattling down below. Those on deck
agreed that the whole ship appeared to be in a
blaze, from the vividness ofthe principal flash,
which they distinctly saw darting down the con
ductor. and agitating the water. All parts of the
ship, as before, were filled with smoke, smelling
of sulphur.
“The ship was again thorughly examined.-
l.„ ---1- -■ .1.-0 1. . - -1 1 -‘ s "
by
on deck with a full impression
that the ship was in ablaze There all the ele
ments were in violent commotion. It had been
broad day, hut so dark, so dense, and so close
upon us were the clouds, as to produce almost
the obscurity of night. There was just sufficient
light to give a bold relief to cveiv object in the
appalling scene. The rain poured down in tor
rents, mingled with hailstones ns large as fil
berts, which lay upon the deck fully an inch
thick! Overhead blazed the lightning on all
sides, accompanied by reports almost simultane
ously. thus evincing its nearness. The sen ran
mountain high, and the ship was tossed from
one sea to another with incredible rapidity. One
apncarance was peculiarly remarkable. The
temperature of the water was at 74 legs, of Eo-
bfenheit. while that of the atmosphere was down
to 48. This produced a copious evaporation
and caused immense, clouds of vapour to rise
which ascending in columns all around us, exhi
bited the appearance of innumerable pillars sup
porting a massive canopy of clouds. These phe
nomena are extremely unusual, no person on
board, ever having witnessed any thing like it be
fore. In all directions might be seen waterspouts
which,rising fearfully to the clouds, seemed ae-
tuallv to present to the ev" a combination of. all
the elements for the destruction of every-thing on
the face of (he deep. Altogether the scene was
one of awful sublimity which baffles description
Amid fhis scene impending ruin when all nature
was in the utmost confusion—when nautical sci-
the ship seemed on the verge of fate; when, in
short, dismay and despair were reflected from ev
ery otiicr countenance—nothing could exceed
the calm tranquillity of CaptoWBennott nothing
could excel the firmness with Which every order
was given, for the ship, in prospect of meeting fiye
below deck, nothing could equal the manner in
which every one was cnemtr,aged with the hope
of security, even beyond what in reason could be
expected—thus I but echo the sentiments of
all on board.
“ But 1 hasten to nty narrative. Some parts
ofthe ship and spars were for a moment on fire,
but were quickly extinguished bv the rain. The
Sh-p was then, thorughly. examined to ascer
tain whether the electric fluid had penetrated n-
inong the combustible part ofthe cargo below the
lower deck, This investigation disclosed the fn!
lowing facts. The lightning, having •struck the
inain-roval-mast head, shattered the mast . head,
and, descending thence penetrated the deck in
to one of the storerooms,.the Bulkheads and fit
tings of which are completely demolished. Then
separating, one nnrt was conducted bv a leaden
tube »o the side in the ship, through which h pass
ed out between wind and water, starting the ends
of three five inch planks. Another portion from
the store-room passing into the ladies ‘cabin, shi
vered to atoms the plate of a large mirror, leav
ing the frame uninjured. From the looking-glass
to the piano-forte was an.easy transition; it
touched the instrument with no delieate impulse
dismounting it and leaving it out of tune. Thence
it passed through the whole length of the after-
cabin and out at the stern w ndows. Fortunate
ly W e were all ill our births at the moment. Up
on these facts I would venture briefly to remark,
that the mast-head was bound bv four iron hoops,
snv from *wo to three inches wide, and nearly
half an inch thick. These attracting the fluid
and being themselves insulated bv other less now-
erful conductors would naturally at the instant
accumulate a large repletion of the fluid, which,
bv the violence of its action, burst the hoops
asunder, and shattered the mast-head and cap.
charge, and scattered to the Xvinds; small frag
ments of it were found on deck; in saving the
ship it had literally yielded itself to the fury of the
blast. The pointed rod was found to be fused
and shortened several inches, and covered over
with a dark coating; some of the links had been
snapped off and others melted- The whole oper
ation was singularly striking, and affords another
of those rare cases where the conductor yielded
to the violence of the shock, while it effectually
averted the bolt from the object it was designed
to protect.
“ his was a property of the rod, of which
F> anklin was satisfied very early after the appli
cation of a theory, that has disarmed the light
ning of heaven. One of the-arliest cases which
fell uuderhis notice, I believe, occurred in one of
the Dutch churches in New York—a chain com-
nected with the clock probably saved the church
much damage, but the chain itself was melted.
“ Mr. Ross, the second officer, was prostrated
and three of the men struck, but none much inju
red. It affected the polaritv of all the compasses
causing them to vary from the true point and be
tween each other. They gradually assumed a
bearing by which we have stem-pA, though sti 1
three points out. as w» have just discovered. The
captain’s ch n .meter was very materially affect
ed, It usually crosses the Atlantic without vary
ing three seconds : it has now proved fn be out
as many degress. Curious as are these effects,
they are still more interesting in an evnerimen-
tai view. Such facts, carefully noted down at
the tiipe.afTor 1 useful data in the cause of science.
Thus collected, they are at your disposal. When
it is considered that not one vessel i" fifty is pre
pared with a conductor, cases of this kind ought
to admonish shin owner? of their utility. Capt.
Bennet is determine ! to go well armed with them
in future. It would be well to have one ready to
be raised at each mast in case of emergency: and
for the safety ofthe chain, it ought to be half an
inch in diameter.
“ We have visited,” says the editor ofthe Liv
erpool Chronic'e, “ the ship since her arrival,
and the traces whi ch remain of the operation of
the first shock, toge’her with the concurrent tos-
Repaet and his mates, and the
state ottne iron rod, and such portions of the
for 'he present may’NftJMtCft ■2. , ! e ^lgi££bVtTiTn at
our office, have served to convince us of the gen
eral truth ofthe foregoing letter and of the singu
lar good fortune attending the timely annlicntion
of this simple but philosophical invention ofthe
admiral' e -'r^mklin, which no ship should be with
out. Many additional particulars were recount
ed to us by Captain Benm t, which, the pressure
of other matter, and the shortness of the time re
maining to us. prevent us, at present, from repeat
ing. The following circumstances, however, com-
muncated to us by Roskell&t Son, the chronome
ter maker's. in Church-street, are too interesting
to be passed over. Captain’s Bennett’s chron
ometer, after observing,for a considerable length
of time, a uniform rate of 7-!0tlis of a second
gaining, and being nine minutes forty-two sec
ends slow of Greenwich time, when the vessel
left New-York, was found, when compare'' in Liv
erpool, to be twenty-four minutes thirty-three
seconds fast of Greenwich ; and three lever gold
watches, belonging to three gentlemen nassengers
by the ship, contracted the mag e ic power to
such a degree as actually to requite the principal
par' of the steel ,rr»-k to be renewed.
“ Such >s the effect!” observes a correspondent,
who has transmitted os the above account. “ pro
duced on the steel work in the watches, that they
have the power ofthe magnet so far, as to act the
same ns the loadstone.”
The Tariff.—Them is perhaps no term
in opperal use which has a less definite
mean inn attached f o It. where it is most
used, than “'he Tf'd." One of our
Virginian f i- vds, 1;U -’v Writing to us, in
vokes our aid a gains' the Tariff\ which he
thinks is ruining the agriculture of the
South; indeed, throughout 'he Southern
States, Virginia included, the Tariff is
very unpopular. It is almost universally
Into the cabin store-room it seems to have been ■ inveighed against, without one person
conducted bv a leaden pipe near the main-mast
under the deck. The quicksilver on the back of
the mirror was sufficient to aUrnck-itr-tMt^wr
when it would be diffused over the whole surface
of the glass, which being the most perfect non
conductor knowp, was thus shattered into count
less pieces. The atmosphere being very moist,
the dampness of the cabin floor, for want of a
better conductor, might probably aid in carrying
it to the windows.
Being all in our births, enveloped in beds
ten affixing to the term its just meaning,
or to the measures which it represents their
proper date.
What is the Tariff? It is neither more
nor less, as applied to the revenue, than a
schedule of duties levied on articles, either
of foreign or domestic fabric for the pur
pose of raisin? a revenue for the support
of the Government. ! * u " J "
Whether the du-
and bedding of non-conducting materials, we re-j ties be high or low, whether oppressive
posed in comparative safety, while the deadly : or scarcely perceptible, it is a Tariff Still,
bolt careered around us with fierce and resist-, Fortunatf T ly for the industry of the Country,
less energy. Doubtless, a feather bed is the
most safe retreat in such cases- Had it been
later in the day, and the passengers about the
cabin, the chances arc, that it would have been
fatal to many of us-
“ The operation of the second shock was very
different from the former, and is more deserving
of attention, as furnishing a new instance in proof
ofthe efficacv oflightning rods, asa protection
at sea. We had a chain conductor on boaffl ;
but it not being the season to expect such light
ning, and the first shock coming on quite sud
den tlv, it was not up at the time. The morning
squall was over; it continued, however, to blow
fresh all the day and about noon, heavy clouds
began to gather in on every side, rolling their
volumes apparently among the rigging. We had
reason to expect more lightning; the conductor
was prepared, and Captain Bennett ordered it to
be raised to themain-rovalmast head.JIt consisted
of an iron chain, having links one fourth of an
inch thick, and two feet long, turned into hooks
at each end ; and connected by rings of the same
thickness, and of one inch annular diameter.—
This chain was fastened to a rod of iron, half an
inch thick and four feet in length, with a point
well polished and tapered, in order to receive the
fluid with facility ; it was secured to the main-
royal-mast, the rod extending two feet above the
mast head, and thence it was brought down over
the quarter, and repelled by an. oar, -protruding,
say ten feet from the ship’s side, and sinking
ftw feet below the surface of the water, j
our Government is, in time of peace, able
to raise a revenue sufficient for its sup
port without resorting to the imposition of
duties on the products of domestic indus
try; and our tariff of taxes is therefore the
least oppressive possible in its operation.
We have never been without one; as some
appear to suppose; for this Government
itself was established almost entirely for
the purpose of establishing one, the vol
untary aid ofthe States ofthe old Confed
eration having been found to be, in prac
tice, a precarious and unsafe reliance for
revenue. To whomsoever shall desire
more fully to understand the history of
this matter, and the origin of the Tart A
simultaneously with that of the Govern
ment itself, we recommend a perusal of a
few of the numbers of the Federalist,
written about that period by Mr. Madison
and Mr, Hamilton, a work whose pro
found political wisdom is sufficient alone
ta immortalize the names of its authors,
and those enlightened forecast has
been established by the experience of our
Government. The Tariff was establish
ed, then, in the year 1789, by a Congress
composed of the jpost enlightened patri
ots formed in our Revolution, at the head
of whom, as the mover of this measure,
stood the illustrious Madison. It was
the first measure ofthe new Government.
It was the measuie without which this Go
vernment could not have existed a twelve
month—without which, indeed, it could
scarcely have been organized at all. An
Army or a Navy might have beeu dispen
sed with, but a revenue could not. One
might as well undertake to support ani
mal existence without food, as a Govern
ment, without revenue.
When the duties on imports were first
imposed, there were obvious prudential
considerations for making them low, to
ensure their collection, and gradually
to familiarize the People of the several
States to the payment of them. In time,
they were augmented, either collectively
or separately, until the period of the late
war " fli1 Great Britain, at which time they
weie doubled, at urru srTTunialn-
ed uutil after the war, in consequence of
which, in the year following the war, an
immense revenue accrued to the Treasury
It was under the stimulus of such high
duties that our manufactures took a start;
&, as a natural consequence, the reduction
of these duties to nearly the old standard
left our Manufacturers unable to compete
with foreign goods in market, and in manv
instances they were overwhelmed by it
with irretrievable .ruin. This slate of
things produced a loud and anxious appeal
to Congress for relief; and so great was
the zeal exhibited by the friends of the
manufacturing interest, that it was feared
that the duties would be stretched to the
point of prohibition, or exclusive monop
oly, for our manufacturers, either of which
results, we, with others, most earnestly
deprecated. In 1824, the Tariff under
went a revision, by which certain duties
were modified, and others augmented ; and
under the effects of this revision, it is sup
posed that our manufactures haveslrength
ened and grown, though, by those who
are interested in them, it is bf Ueved that
the duties on certain : im*orted articles,
such as w-ool and woollen goods, will yet
bear an increase.
T!iis is the history of the tariff, which
the Legislature of Virginia has discovered
to be unconstitutional fas encouraging
manufactures) and which a very great man
in another great State, considers, for the
same reason, as one of the rights of which
ihe States have been “ divested by con
struction,” and which ought to be “re
stored.”
The major part of the People of the
South, who reprobate the Tariff, appear
n> uxrttc-v. -— — •.- -»_ c
vision in 1824, as if it had then only lie
gun to exist, instead of having existed be
fore the most of them left their mothers
breast. And they reprobate it on thebe
lief, apparently, that it has had the effect
to narrow the market for their produce
and, of course, to reduce its value to them
As legards the cotton region, this cannot
be the fact, for if it has had the effect to
narrow the foreign market for their pro
duce, it has at least proportionally widen
ed the domestic. And, as regards other
articles, even the general peace in Europe
combined with the increase of our duties
has not reduced the amount of our imports
which have, on the contrary, increased
since the revision of the Tariff; which
has of course not narrowed our general
market abroad. With regard to another
apprehension which induced the Stales
men ofthe South to resist the modifica
tion ofthe Tariff in 1824, vie find that in
fact the price of every description of coi
ton goods, instead of being increased, lias
been reduced under the revised Tariff,
and that the articles of manufacture, be
sides being lower priced than before, are
also tif a better quality.
These lew plain observations will serve
to introduce the following, from a remote
Tennessee paper, which, with remarkable
simplicity and precision, places thisques
tion in a light in which it deserves to bi
attentively considered, even by those gn
lightened gentlemen at Richmond, who
rule the destinies of the State of Virginia
and have hitherto exercised so vast an in
fluence over the Southern country gener

Operation of the Tariff.—When the
tarifl’of 1824 Was under discussion in Con
gress, it had very few friends in those dis
tricts ofthe country which wereexclusiva
ly agricultural. For it was believed that
the duties then proposed, would produce
all the effects of a non-intercourse regula
tion. It would be manifestly oppressive
for the Government to sacrifice to any
class of the community the interests of any
other class, and to protect our manufac
turers at the expense ofthe farmers. Now,
if the duties imposed by the tariff had been
so high as tqjpxcludc the importation of
foreign articles, and, consequently, to cut
off the revenue derived from the customs,
the farmer would be effected iu one or
both of two ways. Either their products
would be excluded from foreign markets,
by countervailing duties, or they would be
taxed directly, to make up the deficiency
in the revenue, or both results would be
produced. An extremely high tariff would
deprive us of the revenue derived from the
customs, and aa extremely low one would
bring about the same event. Safety, there
fore, is between these extremes. The
motives of those who advocated the tariff
of 1824 have been arraigned, severely rep
robated, and the measure has been, and it
yet is pronounced ruinous, as tending to
direct taxation.
