carried by every steamer, in accoYd-
ance with law, are a delusion of the
most criminal character. They may
serve to keep a person ahoat, but it
is only to die more agonizing death.
What every vessel, particularly a
passenger-carrying vessel should be
obliged to carry, is one or more life
RATS, made for use and not for orna-
ment; and, before a vessel, shall be
allowed to clear for SEA, it should be
actually proved to competent Gov
ernment inspectors that the crew Of
such vessel know how to handle one
of these RATS, and the inspector
should make them demonstrate their
skill by launching one in his pres
ence. The suggestions of Mr..
Rhodes are timely, and Of vital I'M
portance. And now that the whole
commercial world has been aroused
by the electric speeches Of ,Plimsoll
in the English Parliament, by che
exertions Of Pullen in the California
Legislature, and by recent speeches
before the Committee on CONNER
cial Relations in Congress, it is the
proper time for scientific men to
turn their attention to the sugges-
ton of Mr.. Rhodes, and see if an
UNsINKABLE VESSEL cannot be con-
structed.

The claims Of the rival captains for the best
trip on record to Puget Sound, must give
way to round trip made by the Emily Ban
ning" some years ago in 10 days. The follow
ing shows the work Of the RIVALS for the past
year. The " Forest Queen" sailed from San
ninth trip December goth, her several passa-
ges being made-up, II. II, IS, 8, Is, 13, Y, 16
and days. an average Of - days down, u, 5,
9X, s, s. :, Q, Is and9 days, an average Of days
and 21 hours. The "Dashing Wave'' sailed
from san francisco January 3Oth and arrived
from her sth trip December 20th, her several
passages being made up, IL, Is, 13 8, q, Is, 10
and 6 days, an average Of 10 days and is hours;
down, 6, 9, 9, I, ., IL, 9and days, an average
OF days and hours. The Queen making the
best passage mp and the Wave the best down
while the Queens round trips averaged 80 days

ANOTHER CARD FROM CAPT. BURNS, OF THE
"FOREsr QUEEN"
Editors Alta: am sorry for having again to
trouble you, but would ask the favor Of reply
ing to statements made by Capt. Eickels in the
Alta of the gath, about the " "Dashing Wave"
and Forest Queen" The only time the
Queen and Wave sailed in company was on
the 26th Of August, ISIS. They left San Fran
cisco at SA. NJ. The Queen entered the Straits
of Fuca on the 9Th of September. Beat for 40
hours with southeast winds to Dungeness,
then towed TO Ludlow. The Wave entered
the Straits Of Fuca on tho sth, two days after
the Queen from logs of Queen and Wavel.
now think 1t worth mentiOning-the Queens
beating the Wave two days in a passage of
twelve days. 1t was certainly understood ON
Stewart street that there was a race. Mr.. Han
sen, owner of the Dashing Wave, has seen the
Queens log and knows that the above state
ment Is correct. The Wave left San Francisco
July 9TH, 1874, and arrived June 9th, 1878, nine
trips in II months and Is days. The Queen
left January 1lth, 1873, and arrived December
Goth, 1875, nine trips in II months and days.
The extra lumber claimed to have been car
ried by the Wave is offset by tho Queens de.
tention Of y. G or four days each trip with
freight and ballast.
