PeriIs of Steamboat Travel.

So great las been the destruction of
life by steamboat disasters, arising from
various causes, thai the gradual dimlnu-
ton of danger from that source will be
regarded as matter of general interest.
That such is the case is Indicated by the
annual report of Mr.. Burnct, Supcrvis-
ing Inspector General of Steamboats,, re-
Gently made TO the Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t is shown that during the
five calendar years ending with 1873,
there was steady increase i'll the num-
Der of steam vessels annually inspected.
The whole number in 1869 was 2,9iS,
and in 1873, 3,743. The annual addition
in 1870 was l54; in 1871, 1876; in 1872,
IA; and in 1873, 293.
The loss of life from various accidents
has decreased in proportion to the extent
of these precautions. The number at
lives lost from all causes in 1873 was 222,
while the average for the year immc-
diately preceding was 800. The NUM-
Der of lives lost by explosion was only 10,
the smallest ever recorded IN one year,
the total for five years being Az, and the
average for the four corresponding years
about lO2. The number of lives lost by
fire in 1873 was ll9, being greater than
from all other causes combined, and the
loss of life from fire in 1872 and 1873 bears
even larger proportion to the aggregate
loss from other causes.
Such results demonstrate the impor-
tance of thorough investigation into the
CAUSES of SO many frightful disasters, and
that the proper attention and inquiry on
the part of inspectors and owners OF
steam vessels would teRd still further u
reduce them. Accidents, of course, are
liable to occur from collisions and other
causes over which no human foresight or
skill can have control, but 1t
has been shown that with proper
prccautron and careful management may
de- much to lessen the pcrils and disasters
incident to steamboat travel.
