is always the danger in such an emergency of the 
engine failing. 
The experienced motor boat navigator would 
have his anchor ready for immediate use and 
also his oil bags. The anchor equipment of a 
seagoing motor boat is one that needs special 
attention. Most boats designed for still water 
sailing carry an anchor or anchors inadequate for 
use off shore in a storm. The most common 
fault is too light an anchor and too short a 
cable. If the water is not too deep, a motor 
boat properly anchored off shore can ride out 
the storm that is too severe for the boat to 
face with the engine running. 
The anchor then has real work to perform, 
and the test of its usefulness is never more criti¬ 
cal. In the heavy sea the boat will rise and fall 
on the waves, and this will give a tremendous 
jerk on the cable and anchor. The tendency is 
to jerk the anchor up each time the boat rises 
and dragging follows. The longer the cable in 
such an emergency, the longer the slant it will 
have, and consequently the less upward jerk on 
the anchor. Extra lengths of cable for emer¬ 
gencies should always be carried along. 
The small anchors perfectly suited for fish¬ 
ing and anchoring in mild weather are of little 
use in a storm. For sea purposes or for use 
on the Great Lakes a boat of one ton should not 
have an anchor weighing less than twenty pounds, 
and a two-ton boat should carry one of at least 
thirty pounds, and a four-ton boat from fifty to 
sixty pounds. These figures, however, are hardly 
adequate for severe emergencies. The best rule 
is for a motor boat of thirty feet to carry a 
forty to fifty-pound anchor and a twenty-five- 
foot boat a twenty to twenty-five-pound anchor. 
Few motor boats carry sea anchors, and 
yet they are of the utmost importance. One rea¬ 
son why sea anchors are not generally carried 
probably is the comparative ease that one can 
be extemporized in an emergency. A good sea¬ 
man can extemporize a fairly good sea anchor 
out of a pair of oars and some canvas, or for 
that matter from planks ripped up from the bot¬ 
tom or side of the boat. The oars are crossed 
and the ends .fastened together with rope. Then 
a piece of canvas is cut to cover one side, hang¬ 
ing down in the middle to form a sort of pocket 
into which some heavy article of metal is placed. 
A rope bridle is formed, crossed from two cor¬ 
ners of the frame, and to this the cable is at¬ 
tached. But after all the necessary materials for 
extemporizing a sea anchor may not be aboard, 
and in that event considerable trouble would be 
experienced in riding out the storm. It is much 
better to make the sea anchor at home and carry 
it stored away in the boat. 
The simplest form of a homemade sea an¬ 
chor may be constructed on shore. For the 
ordinary motor boat take an iron ring twenty- 
five to forty inches in diameter, cut a piece of 
canvas to fit around the iron and lace it to the 
ring. The depth of the cone should be about 
twice the diameter of the mouth. When cut to 
the proper shape, sew a double seam down the 
outer side. At the end of the cone fasten a 
small iron ring to which a light tripping rope 
is attached. This is useful in hauling in the 
sea anchor. A rope bridle of five ends should 
be fastened to the ring and brought together in 
a knot about two feet from the mouth. A ring 
should be attached so that a cable can be quick¬ 
ly fastened to it. A sea anchor of this character 
takes up little more storage room than required 
for the circle of iron, and it can be tucked away 
in a locker until needed. 
An ordinary pail has been used in emergen¬ 
cies as a sea anchor, and also wooden buckets. 
The handles of these, however, are apt to weaken 
under the strain and give way. 
As a last resort in a heavy sea the motor 
boat navigator must resort to the oil bags. With 
the sea anchor holding the boat up into the waves 
there may still be danger. The crested waves 
may be so high that they break over the bow 
and gradually swamp the craft. In such an 
emergency the oil bags may save the day. Like 
the sea anchor these can be extemporized in an 
emergency if the necessary materials are at hand. 
But advance preparation is always the safest. It 
is easier to make the oil bags on shore and store
