Tho Anchor Limo ships, city OF Komc, hhc'o'ia'
Circassia. DevSnla Ethiopia and Furnessla, are hot
supposed to know anything Of the Maury lane routes
but content themselves with following their own noes
Mr.. Henderson. the general agent Of the ne In TINS
| city, states emphatlcally that his vessels are no"
taking what is generally spoken Of as the southern
rouc. that is they giving the Great Bank as WHO
a berth a. prudence dictates. In other words. they
are running no risks for the saving OF few hours on
the chart which the company furnishes It's commanders
tracks have been laid for the guidance OF mas
tcrs officers. and they areto quote the company
orders" strictly cnjoined to adhere to them al all
times and not to dcvatc thcrefrOm unless compelled
to do from exceptional circumstances Mr. Hen
dcrson exhibited one Of these charts ana on the Do'o
| OF il the reporter read this note:
The outward and homcwar northern tracks indl-
| cate the centre Of assumed lane OF about slAty
miles In breadth within which it Is desirable 70 run 50
to prevent or lessen the danger of collision Nhen
| ice Is apprchcndcd more southern track VIII Vi
course be imperative Should Ice be seen the oou''o
must at once be altered to the southwark. so as 10 get
away from il without delay and on no account must
any steamer be taken into or amongst either heiu ICE
floating lee or bergs.'
From this note it would appear that the Anchor
Line has but one route for all seasons. to which IL
commanders must cling til forced to abandon 1t by
exceptional circumstances
Vernon II. Brown, agent OF the Cuharu Li"o'
refused to discuss the subject
Mr. Icnncssy. general manager OF the Inman Line
for Peter Wright q sons, expressed himself as greatly
surprised that any one should suppose the lnnah
