Some Dangers of the Deep An Old seat Captain Tells of Wondei Performed ; by Stora Waves. f!anf. Pnr?fllr of the AVLiite Star steamship Ad riatic, has been plow ing the boundless main these forty' years. He has navigated every ocean. ! nnr? nlmnst. prpn IrTinwn lmilv nf sra.l ter lame enough to Hoat a ship. Dur ing recent years he has commanded some one of the Liverpool steamers of the nite btar line, and has thous ands of acquaintances in the city who know well what an honest, blulF, straightforward old sea-dog ho is. This introduction to the Tribune readers would be wholly unnecessary but for the miraculous nature of the stories which are to follow, and which, says Capt. Parselle, " are as truo and sure as that tuo sun is now shin ing on us here on my deck.'' The conversation which had pre ceded these wonderful tales had re ferred to tho storm wave latelv en countered in mid-ocean by the Ger manic. The captain explained what sort of a sea it was. "The newspa pers called it a tidal wave," he said, but it was nothing of the sort. Tidal waves only occur in bays, lirths nnd rivers which are fio situated as to lie peculiarly sensitive to the influences of the moon and of gravitation. At least, that is how meteorologists ex plain them, iitu though 1 have stud ied their theories with laborious care, I have encountered tidal waves tbat had an origin far more subtlo than that in tho local situations that make water especially excitable." bor instance, I saw a tidal wave once from a high bluff on the banks of the Gauges. It was a perpendicu lar wall of Wetter advancing at the rate of about twenty miles an hour. It was perfectly straight, except at tho very top, where it crusted into foam that had not strength enough to fall. It was about seventeen feet high. That was a pure tidal wave, and I have never yet been able to work out its origin or cause." 'Xow, a storm wave, such as struck the Uermanic is a very different thing, and is explicable upon thor oughly well-delined meteorological principles. The wind in n first-class ocean storm is hopelessly erratic. 1 have known it to blow from everv point of tho compass within half an hour. It blows with terrific force, and, of course, creates tremendous heavy seas in every direction whence it blows. The sea recovers very slow ly, so that after tbo wind has veered from south to north the seas come at you in engulfing waves in every con ceivable direction. fow, there is a point where the iuflueuceof .nil these seas unile, producing a wavo that reaches incredible nltituues with n force that is irresistible. Tbat is a storm wave, and that is what knocked tho uermanic. ISO seaman can loc ate it, and if you happen to be in it path, all you can do is taue it." "Have I ever encountered one? Well, I should say bo. I don't often tell these stones, for if a man tells many of them ho is in. dauger of los ing his reputation for veracitv. The yarn I am going to spin now, how ever, is true. It is my own experience, and whether auy one believes it or not, it is 0. Thirty-three venrs atio I was the chief officer of a nine hun dred ton ship. Wo sailed between London and India. One evening. when a few hours out from London, in the English channel, the time came to relievo tho watch. That was 8 o'clock. Tho sky was a little mur ky, but not absolutely cloudy. The channel waters were calm. The breeze was fresh, blowing from the west at such a rato as to compel us to sail under a reefed mainsail and double-reefed topsails. On our lee side was a brig. My captain and 1 were standing together on deck. I had given orders for the watch to be called, and they were then assembled on tho roop-deck. The captain said to me: jtfr. Paisellc, I think tli3 light ought to be visible by this time' meaning tho JSddystouo light. 'Suppose I co aloft and look'. 1 an swered. "I went up tho rigging till I got about sixty feet aloft, and suddenly, when just in that perilous position.! lieard a terrible shout from tho deck. I looked down to seo what was the matter, and just as I did so, a moun tain of water struck us amidships. It pickod nie right off my feet, and hurled me clear through the rigging and flattened mo against tho mast whence I fell down into the maintop. Tho rest of what happened I discov ered after my recovery. Tho wave took off every strip of rigging and canvas, all the yards, boats and arms, and left tho ship with only her masts standing. We ran back to the Isle of Wight, nnd anchored in tho Solent to ascertain tho extent of the dam age, and then wo discovered tho most wonderful thing of all. The ship hadbsen sheathed wsth copper anil that wave had stripped its top sheet off for eighty feet of the ship's length, as clean a a mechanic's shears could have done! "How did it happen? Don't ask me. I suppose there may havo been a little hole in the copper, and the water was forced into it with such immeasurable power as to have the effect I have described. But von re member I told you there was a brig to me leeward, ot us. Tho next morn ing we saw her lying astern of ns in the Solent Her masts were gone, and if an army of carpenters had b?en at work clearing off her deck, they could not have left her more barren than that wtive did. Her watch hai been swept overboard, and every man of them lost "Well, that wa3 a storm wave for yon, but I struck one in 1877 that was much more remarkable. I was off the coast or Japan, captain of one the finest steamships afloat. We were in a typhoon. They call them typhoons there, but they are identical in character with our own cyclone, nnd the African tornado. It was an awful storm, the worst I ever saw. The wind howled nnd shrieked and raved like a million demons loosed from the Styx. The seas struggled with each other for our possession, and rjared the most infernal noise as they broke over us in merciless force. Tho sky was inky, but not a drop of Wtiter fell. My chief officer and my self were standing on the bridge di recting the helm. Suddenly, directly in front of us. about a hundred yards away, I saw a most prodigious moun tain ot water. Its towering crest was lashed into a white foam and ap peared just between the two yards of the mast. Above tho hellish din of the storm I could hear tho awful bass roar of the monster wave as it came toward us like a steam engine. I turned to my officer. His face was as white as chalk. "Hero's tho last of our good boat, my boy," I said and turned her nose right into tho wav "Her bow rose until wo were almost parpendicnlar. I almost thought wo should be thrown over. Tho crest struck us nnd blinded me so I could not see. And then so sure as I am an honest man, her bow fell and her keel rose, nnd wo passed over that most terrific wave as gently as a chip over a mill-pond ripple! I never was so dumbfounded in my life, for I fully expected that moment to bo tho last that ship would ever know. These two yarns, mind you, aro my own personal experiences, and I give mv word of honor for their truth. "About three weeks ago, on my last trip back to England, we called at Qneenstown. There I met my friend liiomas Gray, the secretary of the London board of trade, a thoroughly well-known man, whoso word is as good as his bond. He told me in good faith the following htory, and said he kuew it to be true: "Some time ago, precisely when I don't just now rtmember, a new liglit was being put up in the Eddystone lighthou-e. This house, you know, stauds on a solid rock which the sea entirely covers at high water. The building is a circular iron tower, hollow in the center and about nins feet in diame ter. The materials which were used to fix the new light were brought by steamers to tho rock, nnd holes were opened in the bnscof the lighthouse, through which they wero admitted into thii hollow space. Then they were hoistcJ up by derricks to the top of the lighthouse. "One afternoon the son of the ar chitect, a j oung man just about of age, was standing at tho top of the lower, looking down through this hollow space, a disiauce of 140 feet, to the rock below. Suddenly ho be came dizzy and fell headlong into the abyss. Just at that opportune and providentird moment a storm wave ,snch as I have beon describing, broke rgainst the lighthouse. The hole in its baso had not been closed, and in the twinkling of an eye, at the very moment the young man fell, the water rushed iu through these holes, up the hollow tower and received the falling form. Receding immediately the water left him, alive, and none tho woso for his dncking, on the rock at the tower's base! "The sea saves lives as well as de vours them." . ii Poor Fellows. Prostrated, debilitated, enfeebled, they feel as if they were hardly worth picking nn. Tliv wonld hardly give the toss of abrijjitp.nnj for a chance ot a choice between nte nnd death. But evon such forlorn people can bo renewed by the use of Brown s Iron Bitters. It vitalizes the blood, tones the nerve., and rmovates the systen . Mr. Isaac 0. Weed, Bnrr's Mills, O.. says, "I used Brown's Iron Bitters fcr geieral weakness, and it helped me greatly."
