Sailors are not noted as logicians, but
even they must be panied by the fire.
quency with which certain landsmen
financially interested in maritime affairs
repeat the wildly absurd statement that
the dangers of ocean travel are reduced
by moving through them at high speed.
This assertion was incented ashore to
meet the desperate need created by the
issuance there to steamship captains of
what amount to orders not to slow down
while running through fogs, and the cir
cumstanee that it ignored not n few
very obvious facts really couldn't be
helped. The public had to be sOOthed
somehow, and the only way to do it was
to push the obvious facts aside and cover
them up with the irrelevant proposition
that the faster ship is run the shorter
will be the time in which anything I'M
pleasant can happen to her. AS the lat
est issue of the American Shipbuilder
puts it: 'Ships were never run at such
speed as they are now, and arguments
in favor of faster ships are by no means
lacking. They not only diminish the pc
riod of exposure to such dangers as there
may be in the translantic voyage. but
from the superiority of their machinery,
boilers and engines they are better fitted
for overcoming these dangers. Naviga-
ton on the Atlantic is now carried on
with a promptness and regularity almost
equal TO that of express trains, and the
number of accidents in proportion to the
number of persons carried is less than
ever before Fog is one of the greatest
dangers that the ship has to meet but
collisions at sea in fogs are hardly more
numerous or fatal than railway acct
dents due to the same cause" Most of
this is true enough, and we haven't the
slightest inclination to deny that there
are few places safer than ocean steamers
of the higher grade, but they are safe in
spite of, not because of, their speed.
and especially not because tnelr ''slow
speed" in fogs is what would have .,een
called very rapid speed a few years ago.
SwiftnesS does not increase the number
of possible collisions in n given fog bank.
bur it does not decrease them, aud it
certainly increases the probability that
they will happen, and in even greater
ratio increases the gravity of their con
sequences when they do happen.-New
York Times.
