them away with the sea anchor and extra cable 
lengths. 
The oil bags may be made out of old pieces 
of canvas in any shape desired. The most ac¬ 
ceptable and usual shape is cylindrical, and about 
six inches in diameter. The bags must be made 
of at least three or four thicknesses of canvas 
so that the oil will not escape too freely. The 
bags are stuffed with oakum, and with a rope 
bridle attached they are ready for use. When 
needed they are first attached to a short length 
of cable, and then the oakum is saturated with 
cylinder oil. These must be used freely until the 
oakum has absorbed all it will hold. Usually it 
is wise to attach to the oil bags a small wooden 
float, for sometimes they prove so heavy that 
they will sink. They must float on the surface 
to give the proper results. A little experiment 
with them when finished will enable one to judge 
how large a float is needed. Some place a piece 
of cork the size of the fist in the bag to make 
floating certain. 
The oil bags should be floated a few fathoms 
ahead of the boat, to quiet the breaking waves. 
Two oil bags floated ahead of the boat on either 
side will suffice. If the storm proves a long one 
the bags can be hauled in as needed and re¬ 
plenished with more oil. In this way one may 
safely ride out a rough storm for forty-eight or 
more hours. Many a boat and yacht has been 
saved by the sea anchor and oil bags. Where 
there is plenty of sea room the boat can be al¬ 
lowed to drift indefinitely with a good sea an¬ 
chor thrown out, and there will be no danger 
of the boat drifting around so as to get the 
pounding seas on the side. The motor may be 
dead or kept going very slowly if it is not de¬ 
sirable to drift too far. 
When all these precautions have been taken 
and the seas continue to break over the boat, the 
only thing left to do is to get on the life pre¬ 
server and wait for the end. But do not abandon 
the boat until it has actually sunk. Many an 
abandoned boat has eventually floated ashore in 
perfect condition or been picked up by other 
vessels while the frightened occupants were 
drowned in trying to swim to the shore. 
The old maxim of the sea still is: ‘‘Stick to 
your ship until the last.” Then take to the sea, 
but don’t forget your life preservers. Moreover, 
don’t be ashamed to pass out the life preservers 
before it is too late. It is no sign of cowardice 
or panic to insist upon every one wearing a life 
preserver when things begin to look squally and 
threatening for the safety of the boat. Pre¬ 
paredness for the worst is good seamanship.
