wREoxISo ON THE BAHAMA IsLrs.-Th
Secretary Of State yesterday transmitted Il
Secretary McCulloch q communication iron
the Attorney General OF the Bahamas rela
tive TO wrecking in that colony. Attorne,
General Anderson states that the LegislAtur
of the Bahamas has gone as far as IL can wei
be required In making stringent laws for th
detection and punishment OF offences cor
nected with wrecking. The great evil OF tn
wrecking system consists in the inducemen
which II holds out to masters Of ships TO cas-
their vessels away purposely, or 70 deal dis
honestly with property under their oontro
which may have been wrecked by the ord
nary perils Of the sea. BY secret arrange
m,Nnt with the wreckers the master OF
Wrec, ,ked vessel may secure TO himself pal
ticipat.' on in the salvage; for, however homes
the wrec yer, in the abstract, may be, how
ever indign sntly he might repudiate any q
tempt to connect him with the feloniou
casting away Of o vessel, when once she
wrecked and ne s'a nhiscts IA to e eponciate p II tb
master by admitting him to share In ID
salvage. ..,... .,,
posed is made, the next step is TO conse
tae.st u Of the wIecker, and here again Il
master has an opportunity Of bensiitin sa
himself For the prevention and punish,me mn, =
Of conduct Of this sort Legislation is aimG limo
