Loss OF BRITisH SHIPs.-The loss of
ships and lives ct sea for the past two
or three years has caused the British
Board of Trade 70 make some invseti-
cations, tho disclosures of which are
rather indicative Of collision ON the
part Of shipOwners and captains, some
times with cold FLOODED plan to have
q vessel and cargo lost, regardless even
of the captain. Last year there we're
lost 80 British timber laden ships With
go lives, 6S ships loaded wholly or chiefly
with grain with 55l lives, and 285 GOAL
laden ships with 756 lives. The Board
has reason to believe that there is con-
niving at loss on ships laden with grain,
lumber and coal, ss frsiRhts are low;
and with q good insurance il 10 to the
ship0Wner's interest to have the ship
and cargo lost. All told, England loses
yearly three or four thousand lives and
about 80, OO0, 900 by shipwresk. While
a great portion Of these are uninten-
tiOnal, there are indications that show
the entire loss to be unnecessary, Il il
An established fact that there are MANY
very poor ships a6Oat, of British manu-
facture, trustworthy "ooeau tramps,"
that constitutes it almost premeditatcd
murder to send crew upon. The REQ
ords show great losses among this kind
of craft. The Nautical Gazette, Q wide
awake journal Of navigation, has been
pressing the subject upon the public
most vigorously. The editor Ia an old
sea dog, everyday worthy, knows all
about ship, and il doing inestimable
service to the shipping Of all nations By
his fearless exposures Of the frauds
practised in this line.
