The most memorable siege of Gibraltar,
Indeed one of the most memorable of all
•leges, was that which the fortress sus
tained from the combined sea forces of
Fratooe end Spain during the years 1779
to 1786. The great attack on the place
was mode on the 18th at September, 178 k,
and all the reeouress of power and science
Were exhausted by the assailants in tbs
-fruitless attempt
I* wks on this day that ■* hnm his art
vats performed an act which* history has*'
handed down to ua. The business of the
itoge jwogressed. The rock by the batteries
■ent forth its splinter* to deal destruction
around at every Impact of the Spanish
shot, but the return fire was of the most
telling description and most steadily kept
up by the British.
Bnt removed from the smoke and din,
in the laboratory of the gaMson, sur
rounded by the chemistry of war, sat one
man, a humble private. His it was,
while hie comrades worked the guns in
the suffocating casemates of the covered
batteries, to prepare the shells for the use .
of the mortars, a dangerous task—so
dangerous tn fact that evea the examina
tion of ■ the deadly missiles is considered
sufficiently perilous on board ship to war
rant a stage being sitingoyer the side to
bo occupied by only Ono or two men, the
others being kept at a distance. But
familiarity with peril robe men of their
fear, and Hartley sat busily making ready
shell after shell, filling them with the ex
plosive composition, and afterward fitting
in the fuses, driving them home and rang
ing the prepared shells in cases till they
should be fetched to be sent in fiery ares'
to deal death: and dettrootion among- the
•nomy» w
The laboratory was at that time full of
explosive material, every grain of which
was of inestimable value to the beleaguer
ed garrison, and it had been accordingly
placed in a position which rendered it im
possible for the shot or shell of the enemy
to reach it. But now the danger guarded
against from without threatened if pos
sible more terrible from within—threat
ened to destroy at one blow the whole of
the explosive - compounds stared for de
fense, and this at a time When such a loss
would have been irreparable.
Shell after shell had been filled, the
grim black spheres, as they lay ready, giv
ing but small signs of their deadly power
—the force that should rend them into in
numerable shreds of cast iron, each to
malm or slay.
Suddenly, while calmly proceeding with
Ms Work and driving a fusehrto a fresh
filled shell, tha fate took ’ fita, hissing
loudly Mit discharged its rein of sparks
and burning rapidly away. There seem
ed hardly time for thought, much less for
action, and the first feelings of Hartley
were those of blank dismay.
He had seen the discharge and. flight of
■hells so often that he knew he could only
reckon upon its burning for a few sec
onds, and then would come a dire explo
sion that would act Upon the part of th»
fortress where he was tike an earthquake,
the bursting of the shell being, as it were, *
but the flash in the pan that would prelude
the blowing up of the laboratory. But
with the calmness of the man whose trade
was one which brought him daily face to
face with death, Hartley seized the shell
in both hands, hurried out into the open
air and then with a tremendous effort
hurled the deadly globe far into space,
where a ooupla-of garonds after it harm
lessly burst. ItvMt nolfontil some time
after that fae peffWlnevWAhis daring act

that had threatened him with destruction,
■nd though the peril was past it was
some time after, and then only with un
strung nerves, that he returned to his
perilous task.—London Chronicle.

THE SPEED OF A SHIP
MdTHODB BY WHICH ltß KNOTS PtR
HOUR ARE MEASURED.
Aa lataraatta* Deueriptton •* **»•
Meehan tam aad Use of the Loat, With
a Trwthfnl Red Sea Shark Stary At
taehmeaA
“How do yon ascertain Um speed of
• vessel?” is a question frequently ad
dressed to naval men, and an explana
tion will therefore probably be of inter
est to many readers. There are several
methods, the commonest and most an
cient being by tbkuve of the “log.”
This instrument oonrirta of three parts
—the logship, the line and the marks.
The logship la a piece of wood about
half an inch thick and shaped like a
quadrant, with a piece of lead let in
round the circular edge to make it float
perpendicularly in the water. It is slung
by lines at each angle, the three lines
being joined together about two feet
from the logsbip. Two cf the lines are
securely fixed to the ship and the other
has a bone peg nt the end, which, being
.pushed into a hole in the ship, tempo
rarily fastens it there.
From the point of juncture of the three
lines a sufficient length is measured,
generally about 100 feet, to take the
logship well clear of the ship’s wash.
This is called the “stray line” and is
marked with a piece of bunting. From
the bunting is measured 47 feet 8
inches, and the line marked here with
a piece of leather. Then another 47 feet
8 inches is measured off and marked
with two knots, then another space
the same length, and marked with
three knots, and so on as far as seven
knots. Halfway between each batch of
knots one single knot is made. The log
line is then ready for use. .
The space between the knots is found
from the simple little rule of three sum:
As 3,600 seconds (number of seconds in
an hour), 28 seconds (length of sand
glass), 6, 080 feet (number of feet in a
nautical mile); length of line required
—which works ont to 47 feet 8 inches.
To use the log four persons are re
quired—two men to hold the reel on
which the line is wound; the quarter
master, to hold the glass, and the mid
shipman of the watch, to heave the log.
The last named puts the peg firmly in
the logship and then gathers three or
four coils of line in his hand, sufficient
to admit of the logship being thrown
well clear of the ship. He asks, “Clear
glass, quartermaster?”
"Clear glass, sir!” comes the reply,
and overboard go the logship and line,
the reel rapidly revolving. Presently
the middy feels the piece of bunting
passing through his hand, and he gives
the order, “Turn.” The quartermaster
turns the glass and watches the sand
while one “reeler” holds the reel well
over his bead, so as to give the line fair
play. When the sand has run out,
“Stopl” cries the quartermaster.
The midshipman grasps the line, as
sisted by the other reeler, and looks for
the nearest knot, finding a single one
close to his hand. Then the line is haul
ed in, and four knots appear, which
signify that the ship is going four and
a half knots through the water. The
jerk of the line draws the peg from the
logship, which now floats on its flat
side and is easily hauled in. When 'a
ship is going over four knots, a 14 sec
ond glass Is nsed, the speed being double
that shown by the knots on the line.
Another method in use is the patent
log. This is altogether mechanical and
consists of a long cylinder with clock
work inside it and four fins on the out
side. It is towed astern of the ship by a
line made fast to a swivel in the head
of it A« it is dragged through the wa
ter the four fins make it revolve, actu
ating the clockwork inside, which regis
ters on a series of dials the number of
Knots run. This log has to be hauled in
.every time one wants to read it, but
there is another kind where the fan Is
towed and the dial is a fixture
to the ship. TMs is called a “cherub.”
• Itese logs are not always accurate,
and are constantly verified when near
'ftnd by cross bearings that is, the
llwgsiilgs of two well known points are
ftdteh' and the position so obtained is
marked on the chart, the time of obser
watten being noted and the reading on
■the patent log. After an interval has
elapsed the position of the ship Is again
taken by cross bearings, when the
straight line joining the two places on
;tke chart will show the direction of the
course sfoered and its length the distance
mu. A comparison with the readings
by patent iog.wfil give the error of the
Tofinnti here is a patent log yarn,
as told by an old messmate. I give it fa
his dwn words: “When fa the Crocodile
fa the Red sea, fait after taking the
reading one night at 8 o'clock, the
quMtermaster reported, ‘Shark taken
the.patent log, sir I’ 1 got another eno
orer «ttoee. At-9:80 next morning we
stepped for half an hour. To amuse the
ladles ItHed for and caught a shark.
On opening him we found our patent
log, AM,’* he added gravely, “strange
to say, it registered the same m the one
fa use. The line had jammed between
his teeth, the fan working all the time
he followed the ship. He had swum
just 122 7-10 miles. ” —Navy and Army
