The wharves along the Seaboard Air
Line property on Hutchinson's Island are
being built some distance above ware
house No. 1. Piles are being driven and
preparations made for ample discharging
room at that point. It is near where work
is being done at present that the end of
trains touch when backing in for loading.
It will be possible, when the present work

A NIGHT ON A SPINDLE RPOY.
The Elder** Hull Clmsed Him Into the
Atlantic Ocean.
From the Lewiston Journal.
Elder Sargent was a preacher In
ihe Methodist Conference, and this year
was stationed at Tremonf, on the island
of Mount Desert, occupying a small farm
near Bar Harbor. To help out u smalt
salary he combined it with a little farm
ing and stock raising. At the date of my
story It was well Into the month of June,
and time his young stock w.is carried to
the islands for pasture. So, assisted by
a few neighbors, he safely landed his
colts and calvew, lambs and steers and
other stock, with the exception of a two
year-old Jersey bull, whose size and pure
blood rendered It particularly valuable.
This creature he planned to carry to an
other island, tHJt when his/ neighbors
came to assist him he bluntly refused to
have a ring put in its nose, calling Tt
cruelty to the animal, and his neighbors
as bluntly refused to go shipmates with
him on any other conditions. Th© Jouil did
not poeecHs the most amiable of tampers
at its best, and In a passage to he isl
ands was quite Hkely to be at Us worst.
This left the minister the option of put*
ting a ring In its nose at the dictation
of his neighbor*, or going alone with the
bull. Having a will of his own, he chose
the letter alternative.
When, therefore. Monday morning came
again with Its “day ofT” feeling, nnd the
wind blew gently off shore, the elder—
so called by hi* people—quietly led his
Jersey, which appeared like n lamb, to
a little scow mdored at hlghwater mark,
and without difficulty enticed It on board.
He then fastened Its chain to an eyebolt
in one end of the tcow, giving the bull
some fifteen feet of tether that It might
not find itself a prisoner while on the
water, and with the long, heavy oars, as
sisted by the fair wind and ebb tide,
rowed slowly down the bay, with all augu
ries propitious.
But ns they debouched Into the straits,
now near 1 o'clock, the wind died out and
the sun grew hot. and the elder, working
at oars very much too heavy for one
man, began to perspire profusely. He
wax mentally ia the heart of a deep ques
tion and quite oblivious to all outward
environment, so the first impulse was the
perfectly natural one of pulling off his
hat and wiping die perspiration from his
face and forehead. But, unfortunately,
bin handkerchief was a huge, red handan
na, objectionable to bulls in general and
this cross Jersey In particular. He rest
ed on his oars and flourished his red
flag in g perfectly reckless manner until
the sudden pawing of the hull arrested
hie* attention, and suddenly awakening
from his reverie, he hustled that ensign
into his bck pocket, arid sprang to his
feet. It was done none too soon, for, In
stantly the bull charged at. him with
fury, itF long tether allowing It to reach
the spot he hd occupied while rowing,
but from which he now fled with some pre
cipitation. and hastened along the gun
wale 4o the opposite end of the scow. The
bull wheeled and pursued him with dex
j terity and 111 will, and so raced the little
elder round that old craft that at last,
in sheer desperation, he grappled the
painter and slipped overboard.
This sudden disappearance so surprised
the animal that it stood perfectly still
for so long a time that the elder took a
peep qver the side to see flow matters
stood on board. This revealed his where
abouts o the bull, and Into the water it
plunged after him. Fortunately for th©
little man. a bull cannot do exactly what
If plans with one hundred fathoms of
water beneath Its feet, especially when
tethered to one end of u scow. The elder
was a good swimmer, s*et did not relish
being in the Atlantic ocean even with a
mad bull. But he was confronted by ©
condition, not a theory, so, gathering up
the slack of his painter, he drew as near
*he end of the scow as possible, and held
on while, the bull, trying to reach him,
carried the craft round and round like a
crazy bug.
Finally, with great exertion, after more
than an hour In the water, he managed
to climb on hoard, and, overcome %viih
exhaustion, lay down in the bottom of
the scow n long time. Suddenly coming
to himself he raised his head and looked
around. He found that the bull had
struck out for the near*st point of land,
which was* a half tide ledge with a spindle
buoy on it.
It had almost reached the shore, nnd not
knowing what to do. the elder sal per
fectly etill and did nothing. At lent il
occurred to him that both oars being lost,
and the bull by this time too tired to
do much harm, it would be as well to let
things go as they pointed, and land on
the ledge. He sat ©still until the bull
drew the s<ow well up among the rock*
nnd broke the chain that held him. Then
it licked the seaweed so peaceably that
the elder concluded there was no more
fighting that day. and he began to recon*
roller. But he was counting without his
host, for no sooner had he stepped to the
ledge than master bull renewed its at
tack. Again the little man was compelled
to move With great, apeed nnd energy to
keep ahead. He tore round the margin
of the ledge, the tail of his long duster
streaming out behind, opening to the bull's
eye. trailing out of a rear pocket In n
most exasperating manner, the red ban
danna that wrought all this mischief.
The faster the elder ran the more defi
antly that red flag flaunted In the bull’*
face. The elder wat wiry and not old.
so he could turn a corner quickly, which
now stood him In good stead.
At last, by a midden turn and lucky
footing, he found himself near the spin
dle, which was braced by four iron rods
reaching some ten feet up the staff. With
almost superhuman agility he laid hold
of one of these braces, and climbed out
of the animal's reach.
A \lght of It.
He was out of the bull's reach; hut un
leas he should go higher It woukl only
delay matters a half hour or so, for the
tide was rising, besides there was no foot
ing on the braces, wo with hard and skil
ful shinning he at last got his feet on the
cap, and stood triumphant, holding hy
the topmast. This cap was twelve feet
above the ledge and safe enough place so
far us muster bull was concerned, but the
tide was rising, ami th© scow was adrift,
and the water would soon reach him, and
during this full run of tides might rlae to
his shoulders, or even above, so that, un
less he could climb still higher, it would
be only to have made a choice between the
tide and the bull.
He watched with some Interest from his
vantage ground the rising ltd© an It whirl
ed and eddied round the rocks, and at
lust round the bull's feet, wondering what
the creature would do. He was not left
long in suspense, however, for no sooner
was the ledge under water than the bull
struck out for the mainland, clearly visi
ble In the moonlight, about a mile dis
tant. The elder watched it until tho
shore was reached, and he saw It stroll
Into neighbor Atkin’s clover field. With
a feeling of relief that hi* Jersey wap *ar©
be began again to think of his own
chances of spending the night, for while
he had been watching he animal the this
had been reaching for his feet, over which
it was already flowing. It would not be
difficult for him to ehln the topmast, hut
on the top of that was a large drum, or
barrel, likely to stop further progress.
A careful scrutiny revealed even here a
comfortable night provided he wer© able
to Improve It, for hanging from the top
of the drum wan a piece of chain left
by the men who had *et he buoy. To

"Do you consider the operation of rais

ordinary wrecking job?" was asked tho
president of a great marine underwriting
company by a reporter.
"Not In the bast," was his prompt an
swer "The ordinary floating of a ship
means nothing to the wrecking companies
these days. When the Ht. Raul was haul
ed off the beach at Long Branch It was
believed by some io bt' a most remark
able fat of marine engineering. It cer
tainly was the first instance of a leviath

of that kind is nothing 1n Kmglnnd. \yhen
the w*reckers have simply to get hauling
lines out and pull away to float a craft
il is no more remarkable than an ant
dragging a crumb. It Is a question of
power alone.
"In the case of the Saale nnd her two
s’sters, the Atopplng up of a 1 holes, the
use of pontoons and Immense cables and
the application of pumps capable of dis
charging 3.600 tons of water per hour,

One of The most successful wr. eking op
erations of recent years was done by
amateurs w’hen the British warship Bon
adventure, attached to the China station,
struck on the rocks last year; also, when
the Oregon recently stranded. The pumps
could not make any Impression on the
water in the lower holds. The captain had
a hole cut in armored deck. From thl*
a Jrt of water n ! ne feet high came out. A
screw-nozzle was fitted to the hole and
on effort was made to force in air with
the diving pump, which theoretically
should have been able to do it, but would
not. The c hief engineer ihen proposed put
ting in torpedo air service. With this it
would have been possible to blow the
ship up, so a safety valve made of a piece
of India-rubber tubing, which would burst
If the pressure rose too high, was fitted
to the pipe.
In this way the walcr was forced out
through th© two holes it came In at. and
the air bubbling out showed the diver*
where the holes were under the damaged
sheathing. The ship was saved In this
way.
A famous wrecking Job was that which
attended the stranding of tho steamer
lowa off Cherbourg. She rni bound to
thl* city with 350 passengers. Hhortly after
stranding she careened and seemed to b#
lost altogthere. A London palvaga com
pany sent out an expedition and borrowed
various appliance* from the French gov
ernment dockyard at Cherbourg. The
first thing to be done was to raise th©
•hip in an upright position. A number
of steel post* or ma>t wer© rigged up
vertically, and at the top of each was a
block and fall. The latter were attached
to th© mast* of the fallen craft, hut th©
whip could not b© budged. Three months
later the wreckers* increased their power
and gear, and after pumping the vessel out
and making her airtight she practically
lifted herself to an even keel with the ris
ing tide. The attempt that failed coat
$20,000. and th© second and successful at
tempt only $15,000
Another extensive wrecking Job was
that of the Wick Bay. a British steamer,
which lay In thirty feet of mud near
Kings Lynn for your years, baffling all
attempts to remove her. When, at last,
she was raised 3.280 ton* of mud were dis
charged from her with pumps, the divers
manipulating the suction pipes inside th©
vessel.
The salving of the MarkomanniH of th©
Hamburg-Amertcan Line, which stranded
at Savanilltt, Doited Btates of Colombia,
was another gigantic task, and was per
formed by an American wrecking Compa
ny. Th© vessfl was tightly wedged in a
valley of coral reefs, which tho wrtekor©

had to destroy for a Whole mile be for#
they managed to get the vessel o(T.
About a year ago the well-known steam
er Milwaukee was the subject for a re
markable wrecking operation. This ves
sel, one of the largest cargo carriers Ini
the world, lielonged to Elder, Dempster At
Cos. She ran ashore on the "Seaws'' ot
Cruden, a line of half-hidden reefs on the
Aberdeenshire coast. One rock. 30 feet
long and 8 feet high, was found by thei
divers to lx- standing through the bottom
of the vessel. The idea of saving the wholes
ship had to be abandoned, and the wreck
ers cut the vessel's after end from the
main hatch, which was some fifty feet
forward of the stokehold bulkhead. This
space included! the engines and boilers.
The severing of the ship and the breaking;
of the rock In the bottom were done by
dynamite.
The explosive was applied to the shell
plating, tank tops, deck and stringers,
each charge being spread over a length
of from four to six feet, the charges be
ing varied in accordance with the thick
ness of plate to be cut, one especially
troublesome one taking no less than 149
pounds of dynamite to sever It. The ship
was finally divided, the sound half towed
to Wallsend-on-Tyne, where anew bow
was welded to the stern, and the vessel
Is now making money for her owners.
The case of L'Amerlque, one of the many
French line ships that have met disaster.
Is another Instan '<■ of r>ersevrance and
Ingenuity on the part of the salvage com
panies. This vessel went ashore at Long
Branch, and it took nine months to float
her. She ran so high on the beach that
the wreckers had to build a canal one
fourth of a mile long to get her afloat.
The Nerlto, which stranded on Sable Isl
and; the Elder, which went aahore at the
Needles; the Atlas and Weila City, which,
sunk In the North river, and the Austrian
Prince, which stranded at Curacoa, were
also subjects of famous wrecking opera
tions. In the floating of the Atlas six
teen chains of 24a inches were used with
eight iwntoons and immense pumps.
"It is very rare Indeed," said the murine
underwriter to thos* whose 'attention
these cases of salving were recalled "that
a big ship cannot be saved/*
