MARINE INTELLIGENCE.
XiOcn.l and General News of the Sliipit
and SKai|iiing.
The steamboat Louise of the South
ern Transportation Company’s fleet is
on Willink's marine railway for re
pairs. This is the first time the Louise
has been hauled out since she went
into commission. The operation of the
boat has been pretty successful so far
as accidents go. She was built as a
house boat for the Lorillards, and after
being burned, the hull was bought by
Capt. Gibson and the Louise built.
The iron hull has protected the boat
uealnst snags, the dread of the up
river boats. With this risk largely
eliminated, the steamer has been able
to run for a long time without being
laid up.
Small ( raft in Port.
Small boats from the surrounding
islands are showing up along the rivet
front with produce. This is the time
of year for them, and they have begun
to arrive this season in considerable
numbers. At the foot of Barnard street
these boats usually tie up. That dock
is at times the scene of trading second
only to the City Market.
Dredging Progressing.
The river dredging is progressing
rapidly. The big machines that worked
opposite the Cotton Exchange for some
time have shifted above, and are now
working opposite the foot of Barnard
street. The large number of workmen
engaged in this work is a help to the
ship chandlers along the river, who get
the trade of the laborers.
Stemnsblii Itasca** Voyage.
Capt. Hudgins of the steamship Itas
ca reports that he encountered storm
just north of Hatteras on Sunday
night. Wind blew from southeast 70
miles an hour. Itasca hove to eleven
hours. Tremendously high northeast
and southeast seas running. Shifted
freight, but no damage done to ves
sel.
Capt. Hudgins of the Itasca, from
Baltimore, reports, at 10:40 a. m. spoke
tramp steamer Winifred of Port Ar
thur, anchored two miles east of Fry
ing Pan light ship. Hawser in propel

NEW HEAD OF*STEAMBOAT
INSPECTION SERVICE.
George (Thler of Philadelphia, who
succeeded James A. Demont as super
vising inspector general of steam ves
sels yesterday, has an extended ac
quaintance along the Southern coast,
in the early 70’s he was in charge of a
number of towboats on the Savannah
river. Later he was chief engineer of
the old Constitution, Gladiolus and
other steamers.'
The new head of the steamboat ln
pection service is a native of Dela
ware and is 50 years old. He received
his early education in Philadelphia. He
then entered a wholesale notion house,
where he remained about eighteen
months, but his love of the water and
his mechanical inclination combined
made life ashore simply impossible,
and the summer of 1869 found him en
gaged as a fireman on the steamer De
catur of the Ericsson Line, running
between New York and Baltimore.
His career was now practically mark
ed out, and while engaged in minor
positions in the engine department of
the steamers and, steamships of the
different lines sailing out of Philadel
phia he was studying and preparing
himself for something better. In 1873,
he presented himself before the board
of local inspectors at Philadelphia,
successfully passed the examination.
and was granted his first license as a
marine engineer, and after he had*
passed through the various grades of
license he was granted in November,
1877, at New Orleans, his certificate
as an unlimited chief engineer of ocean
steamers.
At the time that* he was first licensed
he w*as sent to assume charge of
towboats on the Savannah river, and
Tybee bar. After service in Savannah.
Charleston, New Orleans and other
ports on the Atlantic and gulf ports
he was appointed chief engineer of the
America, which at th‘at time was the
largest and most powerful steamer
of her class, equipped with engines
and boilers more powerful and ef
fective than many of the trans-At
lantic steamers of that time, and
practically the only long distance deep
water towing steamer in American
waters. He remained in the America
until 1881, when he entered the service
of the Morgan line (later the Southern
Pacific Company) as first assistant
engineer of the steamship Chalmette,
continuing in this steamship until 1882,
when he was appointed chief engineer
Nervous Debility “St 1 "
Nothing so completely unfits a man or woman as chronic nervousnesss.
The nerves are delicately attuned, and it is important to give proper at
tention to the slightest derangement, as complete weakness and disability
will result from neglect. Overwork, mental worry, loss of sleep, anxiety,
and other seemingly slight causes affect the nerves, which gradually be
come unstrung, and unless properly and intelligently treated will surely
result in a condition to oe dreaded—nervous prostration. Hundreds of
weak, nervous men and women who are constant sufferers, are losing
strength and Interest in life without knowing the cause.

SIMP BATHING.
Some of the Delights and Miseries
It llriiiK" In Cnlifornin.
From the Spencer (la.) News.
Surf bathing is a great swindle. If
you don’t believe it, try it. I have
been in most of the lakes and rivers of
lowa, for I always go in and like it
very much. I have been in our lakes
in a hard wind and thought the waves
were delightful. But breakers are dif
ferent. Waves of fresh water do not
strike so hard as the heavy salt water,
then the taste of the brine—l don't
like it.
At Golden Gate Park, near San Fran
cisco, they have fenced in a little nook
of the oceAin with a stone wall and
warm the water a little with steam
pipes, making a fine ocean bath. But
the deep sea plunge on a steep shore
facing the breakers is different. Of
course, the temperature of the air on
shore at 80 isn't bad, but the deep sea
water is cold. A landsman thinks
that swimming is going into the water,
so in he goes and promptly gets knock
ed inshore; then dragged down, still
trying to get into the deeper water.
It comes on again with such force
that it drives the pebbles like hail in a
storm against his limbs, driving so
hard that it has been known to draw
blood; then back it comes with a great
rush and a cartload of gravel, the bot
tom is going from under his feet, the
undertow is surely dragging him down
as the next green wave is reaching
for him, and he remembers hearing
someone sing of “Old Davy Jones’
Locker.” Then the wave knocks him
inshore aghin and he stays out like
the rest.
If you don’t believe it, look at all the
pictures you ever saw. They are all
out at the edge of the water. A few
good swimmers go beyond the break
ers, where they can rise over the
waves. Those that drown at the beach
are always good swimmers. Any one
can get their feet wet without a bath
ing suit on. It is so entertaining to
see a middle-aged lady, all at once in

sea foam half a foot deep, looking help
less like a fairy picture, or to see an
elderly man jump like a California f'da
to get out of it. *
I saw a respect'able lowa woman sit
ting on the clean, dry sand, digging for
moonstones, and the next instant she
was trying to climb out of that. She
said the water didn’t have time to
soak through. There was a man about
my age taking a little sleep on a tim
ber above the mark of the waves, when
he was suddenly more than half cov
ered in the cradle of the deep. He
wasn't very long getting out. But his
hat and shoes were whitened with salt.
