4-N UNEXPECTED CRUISE - ACR6.49
- 111F. 2 ATLANTIC. .
BY TIA.W9OI.
I saw an article in the Mercantile Jour
, nal, a few days since, headed 4 NavigatorS,'
which seemed to convey the idea that Arne
rica'n•sblips were always ably navigated.—
As a
,general rule, I am willing to admit
that this is the case—ad - Man is'suppesed
to he qual ified forthe situation of an
,Officer
until - understands navigation—arid an'
ambitiOus yoUng man, who looks for pro
motion, is. anxious at an early day to ac
.quire a familiar knowledge of practical nay .
o igation. Nevertheless, some instances have
come to. my knowledge, syhich seem to
show, that all our vessels, when.leaving
port for a voyage, do not always hiVe good
iVigators on board. I will relate
.oite or*
wo cases in point.. • -
It is now-a number of years
. since an att
stance of unpardonable ignorance, or ne !
- greet,. on the part of an Arneriean naviga
tor, occierred'mr-board a fishing schooner
belonging Tereliiiie 'port: in Massachusetts .
Bay.
,If I 'do not mistake, the schooner
belonged to Marblehead,—it may, howev-.
er, have been Beverly. am pretty cer
lain that- she belonged to one of these
ports. The, schooner was -ready for -her
cruise to the Grand Bank of Newfound
land, or a cargo.of fish, when the skipper,
in intelligent and hardy old fisherman, es
is the case withtnnet of this valuable - class
of men, was taken sick 7 -and was coin- .
pelled reluctantly to relinquish the voyage.
It now became necessary to procure a
shipper-.and .as it was a busy season, it
was not an- easy Mutter - to pedeure the right
kind of:a man. After a white; however, it
.bras concluded that nothhig 'better could be
than to appoint old Jor.ai l - lardhead
skipper for this trip. Jonas, or Uncle,,To
' nee, had been to sea during the greater part
of his life — but for the' last few years had
been 'engaged occasionally in . the fishing
.6116Ines's—and when ho could be kept so-. bee he' was i!aluetble man, for few would
endure. more hardships, or haul up the;eod
.faster than Uncle. Jonas:- He elso'boaeted
of his skill In navigation; and it' 'was finally
agreed-that' lie should 'act as skiprier, for
this -trip, 'provided 1 'he , would prornise_to

along withar}y all earl set, at 'a .tremen,

day after, leaving port; but the weather was
foggy, and no fishing vessels were seen,.

fect precisely the reverse of what ls• to be
desired:
• -
At length, on the,tmelfdi day of his pas
sage,Tricle Jonas
.saw <o large number of
-gannets and gulls;. the air was remarkably
Chilly, and the water seemed to have a
'tinge of-green. • "Alm," quoth the skipper,
"I've got you nt last"--4mt still he could
not e sne any vessels fishing, or obtain any
bottom with eighty fathoms of line. fie
again consulted his bottll.l. On the follow
ing morning, however, muck to'his grati
fication, he got soundings at sixty fathoms
'of water. "There," exchtimed the.skip
per,:,trintnphantly.to his Men, "you seem
ed to think I was no 'navigator, hut I have,
hit the western broadside .of the bank. in
fine style !"
But much to tke mortificatian of the
'skipper,: the water' did not altoalen--it.
ratherlleepened as he kept along. ' He •a-_
gain became somewhat bewildered, and at
'lnst.:could hardly help admitting to himself
that there might,b,e -- soine mistake in die
mime!, as he never found such deep water
on the Bank befOre. At laat, seeing a ship,
approaching from the eastward, he battled
his wind, hoisted his colors, atfd prepared
to speak her. She. proved to,lie a packet
ship, bound from Liverpool, to New York.
The skipper' tailed, and enquired of the
captain of the Ship if he had seen'any fish
ing vessels on his passage. "^Aye, aye,"
was . the reply, ." I saw a number in the
Irish Channel." .
"Irish Channel]," echoed the skipper,
with a .hoitl of . astonishment. " Why,
where 'are - weony' good ? 'Po tell
me *tv here we ate ?" •.
" We are,, about thirty-five miles south- 1
•east of Cape Clear, - in Ireland, and.on the
Ny,mpli. Bank 1"
The skipper dasheilliis trtimpet, on the
deck, and sprang Perpendicularik four feet,
by actual measuremenv•—so true is, it tlfat
the first effects . of astonishment, whether
of- a - pleasurable or - painful character, are
