BOATS IN PORT
WERE INSPECTED
-
And Hundreds of Useless
Life PreserVers were
Destroyed
U. S. INSPECTORS HERE
All Life Preservers Not in Good Con.
diticn Ordered Burned and There
Was Quite Stir About the
Boats.

The government steamboat inspec-
tors recently visited Brunswick for the
exp ess purpose of examining the life
preservers aboard the different boats
in harbor. both these belonging to the
port and others which happened to be
here at the time the inspection was
made.
From all accounts the inspectors
stirred things up generally aboard
the different boats and it is estimated
that between two and three hundred
old life preservers, which were on
the boats in case of disasters, but
which were really unfit for use, were
ordered discarded by the inspectors
and they were all burned.
On board one boat were 40 and the
entire number were burned, on anoth-
er there were 80 preseryers and of this
number 60 were found to be no good;
on another out of 20 preseryers, 60
were found to be useless and danger
GUS if used, Any number OF unsafe
ones were found on other boats in port
and they were all ordered To be de-
stroyed by the inspectors.
They then compelled the differen5
boats to order new supply by tele,
graph, which was done. ard they are
expected to arrive in the city within
few days
Fire drills were also inaugurated
aboard the boats and the crews were
given two or three good lessons by
the inspectors.
The visit of the inspectors, who will
inspect all boats at ports along this
coast, was occasioned by the recent
General Slocum disaster in New York
harbor 1t developed upon inyestiga-
ton that many of the victims of that
terrible catastrophe would have been
saved had the life preserVers been tit
for use, but a majority of them were
so old that they were utterly of no
use. When the fire was dlcoyered
aboard the S!ocum and hundreds OF
passengers snatched life prcseryers
and jumpGa overheard, they went to
pieces and the victims were drowned
like rats.
Since that time the government has
decided to send inspectors to differ
ent ports and the ones who recently
visited Brunswick discovered that the
same state of affairs existed in this
and other ports, and hundreds of life
preseryers which were considered
dangerous, have been discarded by diff
ferent boats.
This action or the part of the gov
ernment is one TO be appreciated by
the people generally. The steamboat
companies, Of course, do not keep q
close watch over life pres.rvers AMI
life boats and an accident is liable to
occur at au@ time aboard any passen.
ger steamer, which would result most
seriously with defective life presery-
ers
1t is believed that the inspectors
will here after visit the diffrent ports
at least once annually and will keep
the steamers all supplied with safe
Ipreservers.
