She was the 'Pamir, which had cc +c via Cape Horn from New Zeal: and--14,000 miles away--Iloaded with wool and tallow. To bring a big sailing ship like the four-master Pamir to England from New Zealand is not an easy thing to do. Many people in these days "won- der how a ship which goes to sca without engines can manage to sur- vive any voyages anywhere. «But a big, square-rigged ship is, in fact, a very skilful "piece of maring archi- tecture. Take a ship like the Pamir, for in- stance. She can set about 40,000 square feet of canvas, all of it under contra} in the form of some thirty sails of varying sizes. These sails manocuvred by hand, so that the plane of the sails can make use of the force of the wind no matter from which direction it may blow, or how strong it 'may be, up to full storm. They- can give the ship an excellent turn of speed. Pamir once sailed 4,500 miles in nineteen days. The ship sets out to make any pas- sage by getting the best possible use "out -of the prevailing winds, which arc far more reliable over great occan stretches than they ever are ashore. Unfortunately, Cape Horn is a great deal further south than mariners would like it to be. A fight not only more than her share of stormy weather but also intense cold. Working about the exposed decks and in the high windy rigging of a great sailing ship under these con- ditions is tough. The strong canvas, when. it has to be fought and furled fights back savagely, and easily rips fingernails out by the roots. You do not notice at the time, perhaps, with "the -gale screaming, and the ship flinging the sea over herself, and your own immense efforts to get the sail in, but you are apt to notice it afterwards. # 1 have seen men, when the wind has been blowing strong from -the south-cast for days on end, straight up. from the Antartic ice, coming down the rigging literally unable to hold on, using their elbows and the crooks of their arms to giiide them down, just wildly hanging on when the ship rolled the other way. You always come down the weather side; it is. safer that way, and easier to hang on. The wind then is blowing you on to the rigging, not trying to blow you off. But, on the whole, the work aloft is safe enough, if the gear is good. It is really only the work on deck, in a decep-loaded ship running or in heavy weather, that is dangerous. It is so easy to be washed overboard, or 'knocked down by the sea and rol- were ©, "arc set from yards which can be" ship bound towards the Horn must Voyaging in a Four-Masted Barque led out--which is the same thing. There can be no going back for you. It generally takes a month to' six "weeks to get round the Horn, and everybody is mighty glad when that grim stormy-breeder is left astern. Sailing ships are always on' the two watch system, which nicans long hours and little. rest for everyone on board, and it is not customary to do much about heating--they cannot carry fuel enough. Besides, with so much work to be done in the open, it used to be considered a foolish thing to make conditions too good down below. But long voyages arc not all Cape Horn conditions, Afterwards, there is the long run through the trade winds, south-cast up to the equator and. north-cast afterwards, with a belt of . horse latitudes to work through .at each end .and the Dold- rums in the middle, do anything in these arcas, and far toc often-it does nothing at all. That can be more trying than any storm, if it goes on too long. ' Conditions in the trade winds are extremely pleasant, for the wind blow steadily for days on end, and the ship makes progress, often at a better speed than many tramps. Then there is good fishing from the bow- sprit-end, sometimes; or, if the ship "is deeply enough laden, some flying fish come. aboard and are hastily grabbed for the cooks's galley, if the ship's cat does not get to them first. After the north-east trades there is. the run to [Englannd, and in winter-- as it was for the Pamir-- that can be tough, too--every bit as tough as the run towards the Horn, with the additional hazard of what can be a very dangerous landfall in the end. Sailing ships do not carry radar. . But there is- one thing they are not very often short of-=and that is guts. There are plenty of guts in the men who handle them. --London Calling. * GENTLE LAXATIVE ANTACID JITTER Dodds Kidney Pills FM IN ENOUGH TROUBLE WITHOUT "HAVING TO EXPLAIN YOU TO THE. BOSS...
