COMMITTEE OF LLOYD'S.
Os perusing t►e public prints a day or two sine?, my at.
tention was particularly attracted to as aerosol of the loss
of the brig Spence. Michael Wilson, master. at St. Motes,
in the island of Newfoundland. os the leih of July last;
sad (min the late melancholy loss of his Majesty's brig
Drake, at the same place, I AM induced to offer a few oh.
'emulous on the reasons why those losses have so fre-
quently occurred at that place within • few years, mid
without the survivors being able to account fur them, and
also to point out the means of avoiding them in future,
if those means which are in the possession of all Cont.
msaders of vessels are duly attended to. Being a native
of the island, having bees nearly twenty years engaged in its
fishery, and the greatest part of that time having been spent
iu close attestion to its duties, will, I trust, entitle toy ob.
@emotions to some consideration, particularly when I state
that they are the result of information derived from the old-
est sad most experienced boat-masters who have been em-
ployed Is Gibing from the centre of the eastern to the west.
ern coast of the based. and more particularly at Cape St.
Mary's. Those men, though ■steersed, I ►ave found en-
titled to ronsiderstios ; sod their practice bas proved their
couclosions to have bees correct.
" It is well understood by those heal-masters that there Is
in general a strong current setting in from the eastward,
along the wester■ mast, which, after passing Cape Pine,
tends more towards St. Mary's and Placesti• Bays. This
eurrest, is my opinion, is sensibly felt, at least twenty
karma & W. of Cape Piot., and becomes more rapid as yon
■ppesseh the laud, its velocity in ing as the wind fa-
vours It, but st all times of sufficient mageitede to endanger
the safety of any ship app►usehisg from the south •ad west
in foggy weather, sad being ignorant of its existence. In
order to avoid the dagger arising from this current, the Asher.
men, is foggy weather, and when returning from the western
coast to their homes ou the eastern coast, invariably use the
lead, depending more on their depth of water than their
compass, and pproachieg nearer the hind than 35
fathoms of water. The ground being more of an inclined
plane os the west coast than on the east, you will had that
depth of water a considerable distance from the land;
in fact, ssfficient to insure the safely of any ship passing
the coast. On pawing to the eastward of Cape Race.
the paused bemuses more brekes, mid time depth of water
increases so very feet, that in your course from Cape fat.
Mary's to avoid Cape Rare. you will, *Len to the east-
ward of it, led yourself is SO fathoms, and when advanced a
very short distance further, is 60 and 70 fathoms of water;
consequently, you are then clear of any lead, and at liberty
to pursue your course to the eastward, or run along the
eastern coast, an eirremstauces nosy require. Ido not per-
ceive that any advantage would arise by Government esta-
blishing a post at St. Shott's Mire fog guns, as we have
at times knows vessels lost in the Neighbourhood of At.
lotto's, where That practice is invariably followed. A due
attention to the lead and line should be enforced; for if men
will not take rare of themselves, it is bard to expect others to
do so for them."
