WITH DEEP SEA TRAMPSSturdy Steam Craft That Roam

the Seven Seas.

THE SKIPPER IS SUPREME

He'll Take Any Cargo, from Rail¬road Ties to Contraband

.Old Sons

TlM "hobo" of the sea is no relation to

th' Wear** Willie <>f tlM land, ami althoughthf old song of "Whareve. (here's freight,that's where the tramp goes" applies, in a

measure, to the pilgrim who steals his way

on the cargo carriers of the steel rail, It was

penned by some- one who had in mind thethousands of sturdy steam craft that are

known on the seven seas as tramps.All vessels that do not ply on recular

routes may be Maid lo Le tramps, and, while

tramping may he looked upon with disfavor

by those who live ashore, those afloat andth«. shipping interests hold the tramp shipin high favor. A manufacturer gets a latee

transportation of their "army'' and stores

M a minor one. for the members of the

junta know that t«>r the price a tramp,steamer may be chartered. The risk to theowner'.' Oh, that's nothing if the price is

rieht.During the Russo-Japanese War it was

ommon to read of both the Japs and Rus¬

sians destroying steamers found to be car¬

rying contraband Th* owners of the.steamers were satisfied, for the men

«vho chartered the vessels had paid enoughfreight money to justify the loss. As for th.«

skipper and crew, if they escaped with

i heir lives to enjoy their portion of the

money paid, well anl good, if they went

down, well, Is It not all in the business?The business of tramping is as old as

ships, but it was developed to a high degreeby the Yankee skippers of the early daysof this country. In those days a youngman returned from a voyage with a ratineof second or first mat" and a knowledge of

navigation. He wanted a vessel of his

own; so he organized a company on a slock

basis.

THE OLD STYLE TRAMP.With the ship In commission the captain's

r»al work began, and when he slipped hismoorings for a voysge be was going tramp¬

ing, although he called it 'trading.-' In

his quest for e-argoes he did not bother»»here he might have to go, his only atlpu- jlatlon being that he should have a return

freight or a monetary consideration-Those were the days when trading B-a*

not so prosaic as to-day. for the doughtyskippers of sailing craft took all kimls of

chance«, especially those who went over

on the African coast, swapping beads, mir¬

rors, calico, knives and othet gimcracksfor Ivory. Many of those* skippers were

no! averse to "blackblrdlng." as running

¦laves was called, and many a cargo of

blanks was run to the States, even after

the British government started In to break

DP slave trading.Just as soon as the procuring of blacks

«a« difficult then the rewards were greater,as was the temptation, and many a »«.¦¦elthat left her home port as a trader became

a "hlackbirder." sometimes with profit and

»omet imes not.During tin- Civil War the tramp

¦hip ma«le üs appearance, lust as ¦ block¬

ade runner. In that business a sue

voyage meant quick and ample returns, for

the freights wer«* g« net ally worth more

than the ships. One round trip paid forthe. vessel; aft« r that it was all proflt
