An amusing incident Of the meeting was the un-
expected response Of Mrs. Alice f Cram. chair

and which they frankly stated were
Not. l replied to those offers by
the formula that we had no funds
available at present for such pur-

Incoming steamers of the New York
line report seeing occasional reaec-

from land, while steamers of the West
India line report seeing these refiec-

1t has been suggested that it would
be useful to ships passing the Ber7

tion has been broached, would not the
principal lighthouses of the world be
of more utility if they had attach
ments of powerful searchlights, to be
thrown on the sky seaward? In the
case of shipwreck these powerful
beams might prove of great value.
