The report on commerce and navigation shows
,be number of disasters which have occurred
Al sea during tae wear ending June 80, 1916.
The number of vessels lost was 142, Gao ships,
"a brics. Ga schooners, and IA sloops,) of the
,gUreSate tonnage of 26,S97, against 100 YES
seIs. (24 ships, 33 briggs, 81 schooners and

% s0g TONS The number of steamers lost in
1916 was %, Of the aggregate tonnage OF 1914
tons-belohging i to Mobile, to Apalachi-
cola, and 20 to st. Louis against in the year

leans and to Cincinnati.
Since the report, the September and October
gales, whose destructive effects have already
been recorded, have occurred. They will help
to swell the list of disasters next year. The
life of a seaman is proverbiaIly one of suffer-
ipg and hardship, and from the facts annually
recorded of losses, would appear to be also
one of unusual risk and danger to life. Yet
accurate statistics prove that the average OF
human life is wisely maintained IN all probes
sions, and that scamen in the aggregate are as
safe as those employed in trades or professions
upon land. The introduction OF temperance
principles into the maritime service, is doing
much to ameliorate the condition of seamen.
It is producing habits Of economy among them,
enabling them to save their hard earned mo-
ney, instead of squandering it heedlessly, be-
sides adding to their greater security and COM
fort while at sea.
