New York. Aug. 10.—With the exception
of scowe, catamarans and Chinese junke*—
the last in a class by itself—sailing craft
of all nations are modelled on similar
lines—the fam4liar shape of a rowboat.
There may be more or less overhang at
either end. and difference in proportional
details, but the keel, rounded bilge, wedge
shaped bow, anti stern with swelling but
tocks. or quarters, are found everywhere.
The site of a sailing craft, with the com
bination of sails used in her make-up, is
what classifies her as a ship, bark, bark
en brig, brigantine, schooner, sloop,
yawl, lugger, or one of the host of lateen
rigged vessels known as the felucca type.
Sails may be loosely classed under two
general headings—square and fore-and
aft. As the name implies, the former is
square, or nearly so, and is hung by its
upper edge to a spindle-shaped spar called
a yard—which is fastend at middle to the
roast and is steadied by lifts and braces.
Four-masted Bhip Showing Complete Rigging.
It Is set by hoisting this yard after the
lower corners, or djtws. are hauled down
to the ends of a yard below, and is furled
by lowering the yard, hauling the clews
and body up to it, and bundling the whole
on top of the yard in a tapering roll. A
lower yard, however, does not hoist nor
lower, end the clews are hauled down and
made fast to the rail of the vessel. An
other manner of handling a square sail
Is to haul It out and In on hoops sliding
on the greased yard; and still another—
as in the esse of a "flylng-square-sail,”
or a stunsbil—ls to set it from the deck;
but greased yards, flying square sails, and
stun-sails, are nearly obsolete.
Fore-antl-Aft Canvas.
Fore-and-aft canvas is in several dis
tinct design*, the moat common and im
portant of which is the trapesium-shaped
pattern of a sailboat's largest sail. As
a sail alone, it has no name, unless
"schooner-rig" is a name; it is a main
sail, a fore-sail, mlzzen, jigger, spanker,
or trysail, according to the type of the
vessel and the name of the mast which
support* it. Its characteristics are its
immovable forward edge, or luff, secured
to mast hoops, and Us gaff which ex
tends the upper edge. It may or may
not have a boom at Its lower edge, and
Chinese Junk.
the gefT may hoist from the deck, or re
main fixed up aloft, while the sail travels
out and in on hoops. Above this sail In
schooners and large sloops is a triangular
gaff-topsail, filling the space between the
gaff and the topmast; and In racing
yachts, a large light-weather sail fitted
■with small spars to extend it out past
the end of the gaff, and up above the top
mast head, is called a club-topsail.
Jibs and staysails are triangular, and
are hoisted on a fixed, slanting rope, call
ed a stay—whose main mission is to sup
port a mast from forward—which grips
the upper edge, leaving the rest of the
sail to the control of the "sheet"—a rope,
be It known, not a sail.
sails give luggers their name. A
lug is shaped like a schooner's mainsail,
but Is hung to yards Instead of gaff, and,
when hoisted, about a quarter of this
yard extend* forward of the mast, leav
ing the forward edge free, but for the
confining tension of * lie upper and lower
corner—one secured to the end of the
yard, the other to the deck.
A lateen sail also hangs from a yard:
but, the sail being triangular, the for./
ward end of this yard Is hauled down
snug to the deck, and the after end is
high In air. It Is a picturesque rig, very
common on Oriental seas.
A leg-of-mutton Is a gaff-less trian
gle hoisting on mast-hoops, and extend
ing aft with, or without, a boom on its
lower edge. This design of sail is often
used on board large ships for a spanker,
or try-sail, on yawl-rigged smaller craft,
on sailboats and on pleasure ranoes; hut
wherever used, It Is a compromise—a
makeshift where a fuN-cut sail with a
gaff would be too large. With sails pat
terned on these half doxen designs are
dreaoed the sailing craft of the maritime
narfions; and, until lately, one and all
have agreed that the square or ship rig
1s the most practical and economical for
large craft.
For centuries the ship was three-mast
ed, but modem experiment has added an
occasional fourth mast—square or fore
and-aft rigged; and this she may carry
without losing her character, though the
appellation "shlpentine" ha* been sug
trested for her when the fourth mast i*
filled with fore-and-aft ,or sonooaer, can
vas. But no new name has t>en Invent
ed for the full square-riggpd four-mas
ter; she Is swill a ship, like her three
masted sister.
Most I,ore.
The masts, named with regard to their
place, are the foremast, mainmast and
mtxxenmase. when a fourth I* added. It
Is the Jlggermast. Each square-rigged
mast Is divided Into three sections, one
above another called lowermasl, topmast
and topgallant maat—the latter extending
upward as a royal mast, and In large
ships, farther up still as a ekysallmaal.
The schooner-rigged jlggermast Is In two
parts—lower and topmast. Yards, sails
and ropes, with a few exceptions, taka
Mhtdr names from the masts or stays to
which they belong. The spanker—he
small fore-and-aft sail on the mizzenmast
—is an exception, and the lower square
sail on the same mast is another; it is
called the cro'-jack, and these two names
antedate nautical history. Old prints pic
ture the two sails in one. ns an immense
link, the modem cro’-Jack and spanker
are no doubt variations from this original
type, each retaining some characteristic*
of the parent.
The three lower square sails, taken col
lectively, ere called courses, and some of
the Jibs are another instance of arbitrary
noraencfleture, reversing the rule, and
giving their names to the stays whim
support them. The innermast heads*U,
or jib. however, wears a logical name.
Hoisting on the foretopmoet stay, it is
railed the foretopmast staysail; nex* t*
the jib. or in large craft, the inner jib.
which is then followed by the outer jib,
and is the flying Jib— the?a thr^e
hoisting on stays called after the sails;
and out beyond nil is another misnomer,
the jlbtopsail, which seta on the foretop
galtant stay.
The trysail, more often called the spen
cer, is a spanker fitted to the mainmast.
T>ike the foresail, topsails and spanker,
it is made of the strongest canvas woven,
these sails being the last to he taken off
in bad weather. In the spaces between
the masts are staysails, ear h named after
the stay on which it sets; and these vary
in number with the ship’s size and prof*-
perity. Rtunsails—light wings rigged out
beside the larger square sails—are prac
tically obsolete.
So much for the ship, a complicated
fabric requiring trained apeciollsts in the
handling, and raved over by certain sea
poets as Ihe most beautiful of man’e
handiwork, as “with straining stunsoil#
above ond aloft, storming along before a
quartering gale, lifting her dean-lined
how above the surging billow of foam ''re
efed by her rush while the sunlight glints
from the burnished copper at the bends
like scattering flakes of molten gold,
plunging down, down, .town, until the
lee cathead is hidden in solid green, and
a white, shivering cloud of spume blank
ets the belly of Ihe foresail and thins
away to leeward; then, slowly, shaking
her head like a swimming dog, lifting
to another wild rush over the crest of a
sea,”
So much, too, for sea. poetry. She was
a wet ship, or badly overloaded. The
men who danced attendance on those old
fashioned ".vtunsalls alow and aloft.” and
who were drenched to the skin by that
“white, shivering cloud of spume" had no
particular admiration for the rig. Most
would have preferred a flve-masted
schooner with a donkey engine.
Difference lletvreen a Hark anil a
Ship.
Next in order of importance Is the bark
rig—fore-and-aft canvas on the mizzen
mast. square on the fore and main. This
rig gives a vessel no special advantage,
and is often a detriment In wearing ship
(squaring away before the wind to round
to on the other tack); but. as a bark is
usually smaller than a ship, the dividing
of the mixzen canvas into but two parts—
spanker and gaJTtopsail—leaves each not
too large to be handled by the crew, and
much is saved In coat of running rigging.
Barks may range from 500 lo 1,000 tons
register. Above this tonnage the full
square rig is claimed to be more practi
cal.
A further modification of the ship is
the barkenltne—about the happiest com
bination possible of Ihe square and the
schooner rig. Only the foremast carries
yards and square sails, the main and miz
zenmast being schooner-rigged. This
gives the craft the advantage of fore
and-aft canvas in beating to windward,
while leaving her the only good feature
of a ship, a weli-baianced and braced
square-rig forward to acud under in bad
weather.
Now cornea the brig what might be
called a two-masted ship. She ha no
mizaen mast, and is full square-rigged on
the fore and main, and, having been a
failure from the lime of her Inception,
she has nearly dlsapp*ared from the se e
Possessing hut two points of wind con
tact, and with her cumbersome square rig,
she was hard on the helm. and
often missed stay* in going ahou', though
In wearing she had the same advantage
over the bark and barkenline as has the
ship. But the brig was the favorite crait
of certain old-time gentlemen of fortune,
who roamed the seas, gatheriitg what
they feund.
As her successor she has left us the
hybrid known as the heroiaphr dlte brig,
or, with regard to slight difference of
ilctail no longer considered, the brig
antine—half brig, half schooner. She
came into being In the days wlan
schooners—the next distinct type—were
small and carried but two masts. A ves
sel too large for a schooner and too small
for a brig was given the salient features
of each—the large mainmast, mainsail
ard gaff-topsail of a schooner and the
square-rigged for.mast of a brig. But
the ecmblnatton was not so succes-ful ns
In the case cf a berk; for the bark re
tained the abort rnlxsenmaet of the ship,
and a comparatively email spanker, easy
to ahlft over In a following gale. But a
brigantine, with her longest mast aft.
and, fitted to it, the large mainsail of a
shoocer, must, when running before a
atrong gale, snd in need of "Jibing,' gel
that great expanse of canvas over sgnlnst
the full force of the blast. It Is the po
sition most trying to a schooner, and the
barkentlne has borrowed her one weak
ness—the largest sail fartheresl aft. But
with that mighty m.ilneald stowed and
out of the way, she may acud under her
square forward oanvas as long and as
safely as may her larger sinters.
The Advantage of the kchitoner.
A lesser departure from the schooner-rig
to the square was the topsail schooner,
a two-masted craft, schooner-rigged ex
cept that aloft on the fore were a square
topsail and a topgallantsnll In place of the
foregafftopsail; hut this oraft Is now as
rare as the brig, and need not be consid
ered.
The schooner is doming to the front.
THE MORNING NEWHc SUNDAY, AUGUST 12, 1900.
| Originally of two mail®-an enlarged sloop
-she grew larger wnd acquired a third,
I then a fourth, and of late years a fifth.
There is now a fleet of flve-masted
schooner* sailing out of Atlantic port*, as
large as tiie medium-sized ship-rigged
craft, and able to follow—and beat them—
through any battle with wind and sea that
j may be met. A ?ovn-masrted schooner la
: soon to be launched from a Rhode Island
shipyard; and *he may be followed by
! right-master*. There seems to be no limit
! to the number of masts except the tize
of the hull; but ft is noticeable that
though the masts increase in number they
! increase but little in length, the addition
| al sail area coming of the extra masts.
And as a tribute to tradition, the builders
; still insist upon fitting the mast farthest
oft with the largest sail, thus perpetuating
[ the schooner's soie weakness. With her
line of spars of the same length, the mul
j ti-raosted schooner is the ugliest craft
afloat, but. aside from the trouble in jibing
the large after sail, ©he is the handiest,
and will, doubtless, supersede the square
rigged ship in deep water sailing. She
can show as muh canvas to a fair wlod
as can a shiix and in a head wind can
sail two points closer and beat to wind
ward in a breeze and a sea that would
throw a ship ashore.
The sloop rig, mainsail and Jib, which
may be eui>plemented by extra Jibs, gaff
iopsail end spinnaker—is the rig of sail
boats, English cutters, and racing yacht*.
It is too common to need comment, except
that experiment and comparison have de
cided that more epeed per eail area oan
be produced with this rig than with any
other.
Whut a Logger In.
In the English channel, and along the
French and Spanish ooants can be seen
a picturesque craft about the size of two
maaied schooners called a lugger. She
carries three pole tnaets and a short bow
sprit. and spreads three loft lug sails and
two or three jibs. Above the mainsail is
sometime* set what might be called a
club topgaJL but is really a miniature lug.
As her spars are proportioned like those
of a ship, or bark, she avoids the unsight
liness of the American schooner, but, of
course, can never compete wltti the latter
in convenience.
Throughout the Mediterranean, Red sea.
Persian guif and along the shore* of the
Indian ocean can be found the lateen sail
in all its combinations and modifications.
Combined with a few square sails it Is
the main dependence of the three-masted
xebec; hoisted on two mast* wish a tri
angular topsail spread slantingly between
the two lateen peaks, it propels the settee;
on one mast wiih a Jib out ahead, it
stamps a small craft as a tartan; and
spread on three mast* in naked simplic
ity, with no embarrassing topsails or jibs,
it makes up the dress of a felucca. A
Persian garookuh carries one mast raking
forward from near the center, and one
lateen sail. An Arab dhow and Malabar
pattemar are alike in rig—two masts, the
longest forward, and differ only in size
and hull. Proas and pirogues are really
oatamarans. built with out-riggers, and
they are similar in rig; but the one sail
is neither lateen nor lug, being a curious
combination of both, with a boom on the
lower edge.
Lastly, we come to the nondescript Chi
nese junk, a dingy brown scow model,
w'ith two, three, or five shroudless masts
of any length and proportion, stepped
down hatchways or over the side, with lug
sails of bamboo matting stiffened by bam
boo splinters, and the inevitable perforat
ed rudder and painted eyes, keeping look
out from the bows. The junk is as in
scrutable as the race which designed her;
but, as she can never go far to sea, she
will never compete with other types in the
navigation of the future.
Neither can any other form of lug. or
laiteen, or square sail. The sea-going ship
of the future will be schooner-rigged.

REUNION AT SHILOH CHURCH
♦
To Commemorate Last Reltnce to
tiie Federal Forces.
Columbia, S. C., Aug. U.—A reunion and
picnic was held at Shiloh Church. An
derson county, to-day to commemorate
the last armed resistance made by any
orga-nized force of the Confederate army
to the Federal foroes. It is proposed to
erect a monument on the spot. The fight
occurred on May 1, 1865, after the surren
der at Appomattox, and but a. few days
before President Davis was taken pris
oner.
A company of South Carolina Arsenal
Cadets, under Capt. J. P. Thomas, and a
squad of militia, returning to Newberry
to be disbanded, encountered a squadron
of Federal cavalry at this church and a
sharp skirmish ensued, two men being
killed and several wounded. The state
cadets and the militia were part of the
Confederate army and had never sur
rendered or been paroled. This fight is
claimed to the last between organized
forces, certainly east of the Mississippi
river.
Great preparations have been made to
day, and a large crowd was gathered.
Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, the cotton man
ufacturing prince in South Carolina, and
Col. John P. Thomas, who commanded
the cadets, were the orators of the occa
sion.
