COMMUNICATION WITH STBANIUD SHIPS.

During the last few years the National Lifeboat;
Institution has bad many opportunities for observing the
metaled that existed for the adoption of a uniform spina
If manaeggeemment of the mortar and rocket apparent, and for
the diseributton of instructions concerning the setae on board
all merchant vessels, so that their crews might never bg
tof the proper steps to, be taken to seems their gee
after communications by lice had been effected by the
labor and rocket apparatus with the shore. The limitation
thl3o t 0

has likewise from time to time received 0012m911611110iircei
persons residing oats coasts p•lnthg oat the
existed for some each provision, and has had beoiglitimmei
its notice lamentable Instances of the want of knowledge ed
the apparatus by merchant seamen leading to fatal respite—.
In one Instance, the extreme case of live men passing us
rocket line around them, and then all leaping overboard, to
be drawn on shore through the waves eve loam on 'beck
ocosidon only one of that number reached the land alive,ln a second instance), eleven men perished, after g
communication by tine had been effected with
wreck through one of the crew making the line fleg
rowed his mid, sad jumping overboard tent
it, when no second oonentunication could be effected,
In • third instance a rocket line having been thrown over II
schooner wrecked in /3ellyootton Bay, Ireland, a lad was at
ow* tamed to the end of the line, and a frail lognine wee
eboreateWixt: veer him to the shore. Theo log Una, come,
he was 20 yards from the veW whin he erea
drawn ashore in a half-drowned condition by the rocket l •,
but the communication was thus cut off from the wreck, cad

niTeexod line could be thrown over it. Fortunately theta.
mei held together until the tide had fallen sufilefently to get
her wow oat by other roam, or they would inevitably ban
she went to 'noose on the following tide. And routrinst as
ance is that'of the sloop Queen,of Oriumby,wreekid
off Yarmouth on the 19th ult. It is the opinion of eons.
tent parsons that the people on board the sloop might hue
been saved in about ialf-an-hour after she struck, had the
mate understood how to fasten the line to the meet-had.
Instead of doing so, a man had, at the peril of his life, to go
off from the shore to fasten the rope to the vessel's mast.
With a view of preventing such eatutmphes in future, we
append the festruotions issued by the Board of Trade on this
Important 'abject :

DULICTIONB TO BIABTEIta AND CRENTB OP Boise.
" In the event of your vessel stranding on the coast of de
United Kingdom, and the lives of the mew being Filmed k
=, assistance will, if possible, be rendered from the ahem
following manner namely :
" A rocket or shot, with • thin line attached, will be Bth
morose your Weal Get hold of this line as soon as you ma;
and when you have second it, let one of the mew be amps:
rated from the rest, and, if in the daytime, wave his hat se
his hand, ere Bag or handkerchief ; or if at sight, let a
r
a blue-light, or a gun be fired or let a light be die.
played over over the side of the ship, and again concealed, s a
signalto shoes on shore.
When you see one of the men on shore separated from
the rest, wave a red flag, or (if at night) show • red light
and then conceal it, you are to haul upon the rocket Ilse
until yo get a tailed block with an endless fell rove
It.
" ake the tail of the block feat to the malt about 15 het
above the deck, or, if your mists are gone, to the highest
sewn part of the vessel ; and when the tail-block is made
feet, Ist one of the crew, separated from the rest, maks the
signal required by Article 1 above.
" As soon an the signal I. wen on shore a hawser will be
bad ea the whip-line, and will be hauled cif to the ship by
those en shore.

" Wlaa the hawser is got on board the crew should at
eau make it hat to the same part of the ship as the tailed
block la made fast to, only about. 18 inches higher, taking
ore that there are no turns of the whip-line round the
lower.
" When the hawser bee been made fait on board the sip
mg directed by Article 1 above is to be repeated.
The men on shore miff then pull the hawser teat, sad
by mem of the whip-line will haul of to the ship a ails&
cot, or lile-bnoy, into which the person to be hauled same
is to get sad be made fast. Wham he is ha and secure, sae
of the crew meet be separated hoax the rest and again etgmt
to the shore as directed in Article I above. The people as
shore will then haul the penes. in the sling to the shore, sod
whim be has tended will haul back the empty sling to the
ship for others. This operation will be repeated until all
persona am hauled ashore from the shipwrecked vessel.
"It may sometimes happen that the state of the War
they and the condition of the ship will not admit of a hawse
being set up, in which case a sling or life-buoy will be haslet
off hutted, and the persona to be rescued will be bead
thy=sort blamed of along the hawser.
and crews of shipwrecked meads should loser fu
mind that the success in landing them may, lnc great mar
sure, dopes& upon their emblem and attention to the MO
here laid down • and that by attending to them many lism
ere annetally saved by the mortar and rocket appeal= as
the meets of the United Kingdom.
"The system of signalling must be shied, ribald h;
end all women, ehildrea, passengers, and helpless mai
should be leaded before the crew ottbs ship.
"The Mustratiom will help to explain the mom la
which the mortar and rocket Hues are mat"
. .

What the National Life boat Institution has for mar
yams past advocated on this Important subject has at Mai
been effectually canted out by she Board of Trede—aa
proved and room complete apparatus fa nee on Meal* ad
a uniform role fa its management, both as share milts
shipboard. It fa a great step in advance towards the MD
meat of our natural duty to afford relief to shiperrwited
mess as our aunts, and we prognosticate the happiest n
as a aaeeq➢ence.
