morning.
''The arrival OF the Tenyo Maru
from the coast demonstrated that the
Japanese line is paying marked atten-
ton TO the matter of proper equip
ment of lifeboats.
when recently taking a voyage on
a vessel of this company my attention
was called, when entering my cabin
for the first time, to a plainly-printed
card which was framed and hung in
the cabin in a prominent place. This
card gave the number and the loca-
ton Of the particular lifeboat to
which the occupants Of that cabin
were assigned, and, II / recall cor
rectly, stated the officers in charge OF
that boat
Having my attention called thus to
the place allotted to me in case of dis
.aster. il was natural to go TO that
boat to find where and what 1t was,
and I found that other passengers had
done the same thing. Unlike manner
also one became acquainted with the
officer in whose charge he would be
IN case of trouble.
1T Is furthermore obvious from this
arrangement that lifeboats were pro-
vfded sufficient, at least, for all the
passengers and some, If not all, OF
the crew.
