THE TELEGRAPH AND MESSENGER. FRIDAY. NO v EMBER 7, 1884.
OILING THE WAVES.
‘The Result of Investigation by the British
Life-Saving Services
London Telegraph.
Sometime ago the experiment of “oiling
the wave*," originated by Mr. 8bielda, at
Peterhead, and afterwards carried out
more elaborately at one or two of the chan
nel porta, excited a great deal of interest In
aeafaring circles, aud recognising the ne
cessity of obtaining some authoritative re
port on the real value of the distribution
of oil on the surface of stormy waves, the
Royal National Lifeboat institution re
quested CapL Henry Chetwynd
R. N. chief inspector of llfeboati
to mane a thorough investigation n
the subject. This he has now concluded
and the result ha* been communicated t
the Lifeboat Committee In the shape of an
exhaustive report. Various conditions of
the sea and all manner of oils were tested,
and in rt-feicuce to the latter Captain
Cbetwynd soys they are all very much
alike in their efiVc.. Ouiy very small
quantities of oil indeed were necessary for
covering a considerable distance with a
smooth glassy surface. The effects of this
oily film in rollers that endangers the safe
ty of small open boats was most marked.
It entirely stopped their breaking leaving
only the undulations or roll of harmless
swell, and thereby robbed them of theii
di%;er; but in surf of sufficient
magnitude to be of importance
to a lifeboat, or such as are or
dinarily encountered by them, this effect
was very much modified, and frequently
entirely absent. On more than one occa
sion. m a moderate surf, which the oil was
entirely “killing," if a larger breaker than
the surrounding oue rose the oil was pow
erless to check it, and the sea broke
through it, covering boat, gear, etc., with
oil. Its want of power to overcome the
dangerous part of a heavy surf in shoal
water (via . the (peak) was clearly shown
on more than one occasion.even when the
oil him could be distinctly seen on the
surface between the breakers. It seemed to
fall in a vtry marked and curious way to
have any effect on breakers caused by
a heavy ground swell, and not by wind, on
the coast of Cornwall. To be any protec
tlon, says Capt. Cbetwynd, it must be ap
plied to the sea from the boat or vsssel in
the direct line from which the seas are ad
vancing, and at sufficient distance to give
it time to spread and act upon the waves
before the? reach the vessel to be protect
ed. This c^uld only be d^ne in a life boat
in two positions, viz., first, when anchored
and lying head to sea and tide; and, sec
ondly, when running dead before the sea
for the shore. In any other position, even
supposiug tue oil to be calming the
sea, it would most probably be im
possible to keep the boat within its infiu
ence and proceed toward a wreck or other
desired point, at the same time. This dif
ficulty would be considerably enhanced by
the fact of the tide of the current, on the
greater part of the coast, setting with more
or less velocity along shore. Under these
circumstances, Captain Cbetwynd is ol
opinion that no practical advantage can
axise from the use of oil in the boats of the
institution, and he cannot, therefore, rec
ommend its being supplied to them. With
rtspect to its use as a protection to ordL
nary open boats in (to them) dangerous
snrf or breakers, the experiments ap-
S ar to demonstrate clearly that,
ough it cannot be considered _
’ specific" certain to insure Immunity
from danger in all cases, yet in many cases
it would prove a very material protection,
and go far to insore the boat passing safely
through what would otherwise prove very
dangerous, and possibly fatal seas, and on
that account alone its adoption cannot oe
too strongly urged for boats having, or
Ukely to have, to encounter these dangers.
Aa to the effect of oil in the open sea.
Capt. Chetwynd could not make personal
experiments, but from weil-authentica ed
cases he believes that it is considerably
more beneficial than off shore, and he
strongly recommend? vessels to carry oil,
with |>erforated canvas bags for its distribu
tion. The application of oil at harbor en
trances is also advantageous to a certain
extent, but there remain rnauy practical
difficulties in the way.
What He Thinks of the Result of the Chrll
War.
Now York World.
At Edison's office on Thuisdayi met
Gen. P. T. Beauregard, the Rebel com
mander who began war by capturing Port
8umter. and who afterwards held Bull
Run against the < nset of ns “Yanks." I
told him I read with interest his article in
the Century, and bis arraignment of Jeff
Davis foT not permitting him to capture
Washington after the stampede at Bull
Run. I added that the loss of our capital
would have caused the N«*rth to «nlUttn
masse and precipitate itself bodily upon his
arrnv.

have excl'ed the North very much. But.
yet, it was the thing to do. Victories are
not to be shunned on the ground that they
will exa'perate the enemy. If you cairt
risk exasperating the enemy you had bet
ter not fisht him. It was the way Napo
leon did, the way Fiederick the Great did
—they concentrated and struck rapidly
before the enemy could catch bis breath.
If Mr. Davis had let me cross the Potomac
up at Letboro or Conran's Ferry with such
an armv as could have been had in Au-
cat. 1861.1 believe we could have raptured
fa^bihgton, freed Maryland and won im
mediate recognition of the Confederacy by
both France and England."
You go a»far," Iaaid, "as to express
your willingness to have exchanged
mond for Washington."
“Certainly," he answered. “Washing

cally nothing. Our capital ought never to
have been at Richmond, anyhow. It

became a constant source of weakness."
became
Do you wish the tiouth had succeed
ed?" I inquired.
“Now, what sort of an answer do you ex
pect to that question?’ laughingly an
swered Gen. Beauregard in retort. "No
body can tell at this day whether the sue-
cess of the Confederate cause would
have been better for either party or not.
The thing which I advocated for was a
commission of both sides to meet amica
bly before the outbreak and effects per
manent peace by both sides conceding
something. It seemed possible, and even
easy. It would have been more difficult
after the war, if the Confederacy had suc
ceeded, but even in that case I don’t be
lieve the two sections could have been
kept apart. They belong together and
must somehow have coalesced, I

In coming on here (to Washington,) af
ter we had talked of almost everything,
Dr. Curry was asked some leading ques
tions about the Confederate Congress, and
about why Jefferson Davis was made Pres
ident of the Confederacy. He replied
(substantially:) "There was nothing to
develop great men in the Confederate
Congress. Nearly ail the legislation had
reference to the war, and the debates were
all in secret session, except such as were
of no consequence. As to why we elected
Mr. D«via President, there were several
reasons. He bad distinguished himself
in the Mexican war, had been trained a
soldier at West Point, and had been Sec
retary of War. We all felt that it was
necessary to elect a man of military ca
pacity aud experience,acquaintedlwith the
officers who would come to us. Then, Mr.
Davis had distinguished himself iu the
United States Senate as a Senator. He
and Hunter and Benjamin and Toombs
were the foremost men from the South in
the Senate at that time. Mr. Davis was
not mu extreme man. He was a man of
fine culture, and in all debates where sci
entific principles were involved he could
take part with credit to himself
He was a man of stainless character, and
his private life, as well as his public life,
was blameless. The people who say that
the choice of Mr. Davis for the Presidency
was a bad one should remember that the
field of selection was a very restricted
one. Virginia, North Carolina and Ten
nessee had not then joined the Confeder
acy. Mr. Stephens had been a strong Un
ion man, and had recently made very
strong Union speeches. Georgia present
ed him, and he was elected Vice President,
with the hope of conciliating the South
and uniting the whole upon tue great un
dertaking. I don’t think there was mush
antagonism between Mr. I>avii and Mr.
Srepuens. Mr. Davis took venr few per
sons into his confidence, fo Washington
ou will always find the Vice President
jss very little to do in aiding the Presi
dent in the discharge of his duties, Mr.
Benjamin was probably the greatest man
we had, as a thinker and a speaker, while
his capacity for work was simply wonder
ful Howell Cobb was another great man.

under Buchanan, and resigned ard went
home to plead for secession. He was one
of the wisest of statesman, and- many
thought he would have made a better Pres

many things very mneb like Senator Jo

able man. In the provisional Congress
Georgia had the strongest representation.
It had Stephens, Toombs, the two Cobbs,
