SCUTTLING A SHIP.
Laws Against This Crime Have Al
ways Beoa Very severe.

LAWh Against NhlA Nrlme Have Ale
ways DeOa Very severe.
Scuttling may be defined as the art
of cutting holes through a ships hull,
either for the purpose OF keeping her
steady, when stranded, BY alHng the
hold with water and thus saving ship
and cargo, or sinking her din, order to
obtain the money for which she is In
sured. n is the latter form Of scut-
Ting that we propose to deal with.
A shipmaster Is monarch Of all he
surveys when remote from the land
and no other sail above the boundary
line Of sea and sky; hense there would
be little difficulty in his way should
he propose TO scuttle his ship. either to
injure or 30 assist the owners thereof
For this reason the laws against scut-
Ting have always been very severe al
over the world. By an act Of congress
passed In 1904 it was enacted that "any
person, not being an owner, who shall
on the high seas wiflfully and corrupt
ly cast away, burn or Otherwise destroy
any vessel ante which he belongeth
being the property of any citizen OF
citizens of the United States, or pro-
cure the same to be done, shall suRer
death" English laws were similar
