Their principal operations were on tho larger cf the two sloops captured at Gibraltar; to which veescl was assigned the leading part in Captain Blood's Echetne. They began by tear- ing down all bulkheads, until they had reduced her to the merest shell, and in her sides they broke open so many ports that her gunwale was converted into the semblance of a grating. Next they increased by a half-dozen the scuttles in her deck, whilst into her hull they packed all the tar and pitch and brimstone that they could find in the town, to which they added si.x barrels of gunpowder, placed on end like gung at the open ports on her larboard side. On the evening of the fourth day all were got aboard, and tho city of Maracaybo was at last abandoned. But they did not w^eigh anchor until some two hours after midnight. Then hey drifted silently down toward the bar. The order of their going was as follows: Ahead went their improvised fire-ship in charge of Wolverstone with a crew of six volunteers, each of whom was to have a hundred pieces of eight over and above his share of plun(k»r as a special reward. Next came the Arabella. She was followed at a tlis-tance by the Elizabeth, com- mamled by Hagthorpe, with whom was he now shipless (^"nhusac and the bulk of his Freich followers. The rt-ar was brought up by tho second r1<h)p and somo eight canoes, aboard of which tho prisoners and slaves had l)eon shipped and most of the captur- e<l merchandise. The Spaniards did not sight Blood's fleet in that dim light until some time after Blood's fleet had sighted them. Straight for the Admiral's great ship, the Encamacion, diti Wolver- ftone head the sloop; then, lashing down the helm, he kindled from a match that hung ready lighted lic«ide him a great torch of thickly plaited straw that hail been steep«'d in bitu- men. As he ttwung it round it burst Into flame, Just as the slight vessel went ern.shing and bumping and scraping against the side of the flag- ship. His six men stood at their |)Ofltn on the larboard side, stark nakc<^, each armed with a grapnel, four of them on the gunwale, two of them akvft. At the moment of impact the.s<« grapnels were slung to bind the Spaniard to them. AlK)ard the rudely awakened gal- l«m all was confused hurrying, scurrying, trumi>eting, iiad .shouting.

British Admiralty experts and UDofflclal aeronaut ists like Com- mander Burney^ member of the House of Conmioas, and an experienced war- time flier, point contldcntly to the be- ginning of a new era when the two British Admiralty airships now being constructed arc afloat. It is claimed that these two new nircrnfts will be practically fire-proof, and obsolutely safe In storms of all but hurricane force. The Observer says: "The airship is essentially a peace ship; It la prim- arily a vessel of transiwrt. War tests were no tests. Zeppelins were armed llnors and less airworthy because mili- tary requirements Influenced their designs. Zeppelins euccumbor to weather, to artillery, and were de- stroyed by attacking airplanes, but nothing In Oerman or British experi- ence with airships bars the way of their development. Everything com- bines to promise that the perfected air- ship Is to bo the bsckbono of Britain's nierenntllo air service over great sea spaces. "(irent advances have been made In long distance flying this year. Wo have not one word or thought of dis- paragement for Its achievement, or for exploits of human daring that are salt and health In a savorless nick of ex- perience. But for rapid expansion of air travel, especially Empire air travel, more Is likely to depend on airship trials of the coming year," Canacfa's NaticHial Museum Scientist Explains I Rollers in Calm Sea Lays "Slapping" of Liner to the Coincidence of Wave Phases of Distant Storms Wasilngtonâ€" Navy hydrographers who have studied reports of the sud- den arising of huge waves out of ap- parently calm seas off the North At- lantic Coast In recent days have ad- ivanced three possible explanatlcns, al- though the data at hand was too scant to permit definite conclusions. The liner France was slapped by a big wave off Ambrose Light at the en- trance to New York Harbcr on Aug. 23, end a somewhat similar experi- ence was met by tie steamer Saugus off the Delaware Breakwater the next day. O. W. LIttlehales, U.S. ravy hydro- graphic engineer, says the most like- ly explanation was that the wave phases of distant atorms in the At- lantic coincided, generating much larger waves which "slapped" these iblpa. It Is plausible also, be said, tliat this sadden coincidence was as abruptly terminated, restoring the sea to relative calm. "Such an occurrence might also have been caused when a fast incom- ing tide-stream formed what Is known as a "tide scar" near Inlets," he con- tinued. "This means that the fric- tion of land underneath would hinder the tide at lower levels, causing a steep reverse Incline. "Contact of waters of different physical qualities, such as density and temperature, has also been known to cause such an abrupt disturbance. I hesitate, however, to give any definite reason for the occurrences, other than to say that some natural explanation exists and th.it the big wave was not a spiritual manifestation."

A month*'s work has already been done, and tho excavating committee hopes to carry the season's work on until the end of September or even later. A third barrack building has been uncovered, corresponding exactly to the two located last year, and the end of another simple buiUling has been found. The greater part of'this. how- ever, lies buried under Caerhun churchyard. A long building has been exposed which was possibly a stable, also a small rectangular tank or cis- tern with cemented walls and a clay bottom. This tank had evidently been filled up by tho Romans themselves. A large building which Is at the pre- sent time being uncovered Is prob.ibly the commandant's house or officers' quarters at the fort. A second gateway, that to the south of the fort, has also been partially opened up. It has not the same pe- culiarities as the east gate, which was examined last year, and It appears to have been partially blocked up In Ro- man times, but the excavation has not yet gone far enough to elucidate this point entirely. If this surmise proves to be correct It will be of great Inter- est, since the blocking of gateways is characteristic of the later perio«l8 of tho Roman occuimtlon. So far little or nothing has hreti fonud within the area of the fort to show that the occupation here lasted beyond the middle of the second cen- tury, although coins, pottery, glass, and lead have been discovered In some quantities.
