sary to keep a sufficient amount of re-
loaded ammunition on hand. This has
been repeatedly urged in the past but
the adjutants- general have held that
the State cannot afford to do this. and
for payment for all kinds of special
duty. The other way is the issue of a
larger amount of fixed ammunition to
each company. An increased issue of
ammunition will entail no drain on the
military fund of the State, since am
munition is drawn on the allotment to
the State from the national govern
ment provided i'm section sixteen hun
cred sixty-one, II. s., u. s., as amend
ed.
IF the Dick bill to reorganize the
militia becomes law the State will be
obliged to issue fixed ammunition for
the 80 caliber L. S. magazine rifles
which will be provided, and the plan to
issue a larger amount of fixed amnuni-
ton for the AS caliber Springfield. rifle
is but step in that direction.
Il respectfully recommend the issue
to each company of infantry anu each
division of Naval Reserves of five
VI IAeu Illic
ton, to which shall be added two
thousand bullets and primers, on
requistion, when it shall be shown by
the score cards returned to the inspec-
tor general of rife practice that the
company or division making ...e re-
QUESTION has expended four thousand
rounds. but that no reimbursement for
powder be allowed. The added issue
of bullets and primers will accommo-
date the companies which wish to do
more than the average amount of prac-
tice, and by making it available after
the expenditure of four thousand
rounds gives that company a thousand
rounds of fixed ammunition for COM
plotting its qualification practice at the
conclusion of the season. Under the
plan proposed the State should require
an exact accounting for all ammunition
and from each seasons issue should be
deducted the amount unaccounted for
the previous season.
There are comparatively few COM
panies which viii avail themselves of
the extra issue of bullets and primers
and not all companies will use the en-
tire issue of fixed ammunition. so that

The Majestic left Queenstown last

wester with 1872 passengers I'm the two sa-
looms and 3i5 I'm the steerage. For the fol-
lowing four days the seas ran enormously
high. reaching crisis last Saturday.when
Capt. j.. j. Smith, master Of the vessel,
ordered that no passengers be allowed the
use OF the exposed decks.
The sea that swept away the llfeboats,
ventilators and damaged the other deck
fixtures was 50 great that ~ almost in
quilted the craft. one of the officers
classes IL as a tidal wave, but this Capt.
Smith denies. saying that while it was
one OF the biggest waves that he ever
saw IL was not OF the accumulatve vari-
ETY.
IL took the Majestic. which is a splen-
dlu Std DodNs July ~ lp Ioii bdNh
TO an even keel after being struck by this
wave. IL came i'm on the starboard bow
and threw the ship down to port until IL
was listed 10 ~ degrees, and IL held there
so long that some of the passengers
thought 1t would never get back. and
when the ship did finally it was only to
be struck by another but smaller sea.
The sailors who were hurt were whip
ped up by the tail end of the wave as 1t
boarded the craft and were thrown and
carried for a distance of 20 feet before
they fetched up. Mrs. IL. Irving Goodrich
was thrown down a companonway and
had her head badly cut and her arm Sc
verely wrenched.
One OF the officers i'm showing today
where the ilfeboats had been, explained
the loss OF several feet OF the iron rail
along the promenade deck by saying that
this. too. was carried off with the life
boat. The iron-davits We're carried off
with the lifeboat and there was little left
TO show that any lifeboat had been there.
