TERRIBLE WINTER AT sEA.
Disasters to Ships During Past Sea-
son Cost Underwriters
Millions.

New York.--Although last winter
was remarkable for its mildness
ashore, conditions on the seven seas
have been exactly the reverse, the
losses to the underwriters through dis
asters to ships aggregating several
millions during the last four months.
Speaking Of the losses at sea. A. A.
Raven, president of the board of New
York Underwriters, said the other
day:
1.-THE Atlantic Mutual Insurance
company, OF which am president,
has had an unprecedentedly large
number Of losses this last winter. es-
pially during the last two months.
think, however. the English compan-
les have been hit harder than any
others, and perhaps the Germans next.
There are only a few distinctively
American companies, but they've all
suffered severely"
The figures OF the underwriters in
dicate a loss of about $4,o00,000 for
the winter of 1905-06. The lumber
carriers have been the heaviest losers,
and next to them come the coal car
riers. One OF the veteran steamship
men who discussed the stormy times
at sea was Capt. Rlblicoyer, Of the
steamship Earl Of Aberdeen, who lost
his deckload while crossing the bay
Of Fundy in a gale the first Of last
month.
"The average landsman," said Capt
Publicover, has no idea what this
winter has been at sea. It's not only
the hardships which officers and crews
have suffered, but look at the losses
OF cargo and the damage - buIls and
rigging. Why the whole coasS from
the gulf Of ST. Lawrence to New York,
is lined with floating lumber, spars,
rigging and wreckage If the hotsam
and jetsam from Marblehead to Mon
tauk alone could be gathered up and
sold for junk It would make man
rich"
