THC SHIPt OF COLUMBUS. ,i. ., A lei4rMMi wf the lrrt IHtumNW1! '"' LMtt kMiMirM The sprTtHMTh f tbe tooth swnlveinMtry I the dievovwy ttf America cauawt full to awaken' h iwtMWtH for the Oantws narMtr whose inm-pid dad and h; kind. CJdtwtbua wa by KttfuftMOH a Hatter, and tat great UMritinM kijowlolsja won for him the louiiitaud of many thlWt. During tiU HUUMTCHUt VWyHftM 1k fOTHWil hi jsurptwa of Hailing westward to ttmlK oarer way to India. It was at the little Spanish iort of P-ikx that ColttwbHa lu-cpftrat the expedition fur wUk-Ji Ferdinand and isatxdut bad supplied the Of his thro li i in the Strata Maria, the flHtkip uf the little pulrott, was

largest, the I'JHtR HDtl jKUM MUK SASTA MARIA. ef about equal siae. Uolurabne cboM three small ships rather than oh large Ttmrml. with tbe hope that out of the three ooe at least would weather tk stormy passage and live to roturn. They were designed and constructed upon a model of the old type of craft known as the caravel, which included ia fee. class all vessels from 50 to 100 toss, irith or without decks. The Santa Maria was no larger thaa the little -:boonars engaged is Sailing on the Great Banks, or about equal ia tonnage to the stanch pilot boats which cruise along our coast in all weathers. This vessel upon which Col umbos sailed was eighty-five feet long, twenty-four feet wide and drew eight feet of water. Her bottom was made very flat, in order that she might be run upon the shore or Bandy beach without undue strata te her timbers. Her extreme width was at the water line where the hull bulges out several feet beyond the upper structure at the deck. This form of 'tombliug hosae," as it is termed in the vernacular ef the sailor, fa rarely seen in ships of modern design and couetraefckm, at thoagh this build can be seen in a raotHfted iagris in many of the old frigates mow feiegatii to "ordinary" hi oar nary Tank. Ancient shipbuilders held that hnhjmg oat the sides of a Teasel prevented her rolling in a heavy sea, and accordingly her decks would not be exposed to to the sweep of heavy serge breaking close aboard. The Santa Maria had but one deck. At the bow was a bouse called the fore castle, in which the petty officers slept and also a part of the crew. Across the tern of the ship was a second hoaee called the after castle, above which ran a deck called the poop deck or quarter deck. A small watch tower was erected on the poop deck as the post of duty for the officer of the watch. The admiral of the Beet occupied the irfter cabin, the officers of high rank being permitted te share H with him, while the rest of the crew was quartered in the hold and is such parte of the ship as were not utilised for stowing provisions ami ballast. The after part of these ships towered many feet above the crest of the wave, and when running before heavy following seas the deckhouses were rarely wept by them, no matter bow severe the gale before which the ship was driven. The Plata and Nina, sister ships of the squadron, were about seventy feet in length, the Nina, however, being a little smaller in tonnage than the Pint. These vessels were not decked fore and aft like the Santa Maria, although each had deckhouses, er castles, at the bow and stern. Today it would be a foolhardy venture to dispatch vessels without decks oa a mission across a boisterous sea. Yet these ships were constructed so solidly at well seasoned oak limber, planked PtXTA. with tr and secured by heavy iron bolts, as to withstand the battle of the elements during that long and weary journey over the trat'ileea Atlantic On account of these ships being btuM Ugh at the ends and low amidships, Ugh seat would often be taken upon the .decks when sailing with a side wind, and te prevent this high etanchJeas er Boats were inserted in the upper plank ef the rails, to which screens of heavy aanvas were laced, making a temporary bulwark, which proved to be very effee tive in keeping out the water. In the me of the two smaller ships heavy mats wd large tarpaulins were stretched wets the foams to keep the water from ffsanJmg into the holds ami ewampiMg euv. the vessels of four centuries age Were not supplied with pumps. The Sam Maria was rigged with fear aAstth ','ifw foreuu&t onus heme At.

the after utast was supplied with lateen sails. A long lwprit projected fnmt her how, but tarrtwt Ut jibs or head sail. No wti k wt're earned aloft above During favorable winds a sail was set under the Uiwajiril rvavtuutf to the water, and kuowu a the watetweil or sprite!), Tbirf sJ fell into diwuee over two centuries iu. The PitiU and Nina were oarav), Iwit rig(-id 'xcluidvely with latoett xxiU. The foTMHtr, uowtivt-r, was partially square rigged prior te sailing, and the latter was utmilarly changed before the Meet left the Canaries from Palo. Ship ht tle daya of Columbus were supposed to tuuke headway through the water only when tlie wind blew in a favorable directiou. Theidva of tacking against a head wind was entirely unknown to the mariners of the past, notwitlistand iugthe fact that ship have been propelled by sail iower alone for thousands ef years. Yet in spite of all,, tlteee obstacles and disadvantages we find in the logbook of the Santa Maria that a speed ef seven knots an ltour was not an unusual cccurrunce. As it waa customary to employ ears against contrary winds, the crews of the ships were necessarily larger in proportion to their size than in modern ships. No less thau 120 men were employed to sail the ships of Columbus. The officers were known as the patron or captain, watchman or first mate, a counselor or navigator, the master of the deck, a scribe or secretary who wrote the ship's log, a steward aud a Burgeon. The rigging consisted entirely of hemp. Their anchor cables were hemp hawsers, each following the old rule of four times the mainmast in length. Iivch ship was supplied with a boat called a launch, which was always towed astern. Refractory sailors were punished by being placed in the launch for many days upon short allowances and exposed to the heat of the sun and heavy drenching of the waves. Although the compass was known to the Arabs long before Columbus and by the Chinese as far back as the beginning of the Christian era, yet this instrument was in itself not sufficient to navigate a vessel over an unknown sea. The quadrant, an instrument known to Columbus as the astrolabe, was supplied to each ship; by its use in astronomical observations the ship's position upon the high seas with respect to the equator could be readily ascertained, and also errors existing in the compasses causing the ships to deviate from their true courses were found and the proper adjustments accordingly made. Thus Columbus was able to embark and sail away with that feeling of self reliance which had won him success oa all hk previous expeditions. The little town of Pal os, then the greatest seaport en the Mediterranean, never sent out a grander marine spectacle than when Columbus embarked and weighed anchor and stood boldly down the Rio Tnto to Ma,. followed closely iu his wake by the Pinta and Nina. The lavish golden earrings which decorated these ships, the red and yellow standards of Spam, the gay streamers floating in thebreese from every mast aud spar, these altogether presented to the cheering crowds gathered ou the wharves, housetops and neighboring hills a pictureaque sight. It was indeed the crowning spectacle of the reign of Ferdinand and Isabella. Lieut. R. H. Ubcrhoth, 0. S. B. M.
