The American Shipbuilder recently
called attention to the conditions con-
corning coastwise barges, which go TO
sea under manned and unequlpped.
They might as we'll be without masts or
sails. as their equipment in these re-
spects is of no practical use, and II they
break adrift from the tug N gale they
are prey to the wind and sea and the
helpless crew go down to certain DEAN.
The boat carried is usually no more
than a frail skiff; they have no life raft
or life preservers: and the American

restrictions Oh the sale of liquor at an
hour of the night when the agencies OF
impurlty and immortality, which, OWL
like, hide from the daylight, walk
abroad under cover of the night.
Il am opposed to it because of the
absolute certainty that a concession
here would be the signal for further at
