ton to the general requirement that
all lifeboats shall be substantially
built Uncle Sam goes so far as to
prescribe the kind of material that
may be used For example, one thick
ness of metal is prescribed for metal
lifeboats less than 20 feet in length;
another weight is demanded for boats
20 to "a feet in length; and a third
and yet heavier grade is exacted in
the case of boats longer than "a feet.
There is a hard and fast rule that
every lifeboat shall be theoretically
unsinkable-if we may use that word
after the Titanic disaster. To this
end it is required that all lifeboats
shall have air-tight tanks of sufficient
capacity to float the boats when they
are full of water and when loaded
to the limit of their capacity. The
government officials are required to
test these tanks when the boat is in
stalled and at least once year after
ward. The government formula also
stipulates that each lifeboat must
carry at least two life preservers, a
full complement Of oars, two spare
oars, steering oar, a boathook,s an
ak and bucket. In the case of the
lifeboats provided for use on the
larger ocean-going vessels the equip
ment must also include a mast and
sail with necessary rigging, a boat
compass, a lantern and Illuminating
oil, etc.
Very important from the standpoint
of the shipwrecked passengers in a
lifeboat-and yet seldom thought of
in advance by the layman-is the
supply of food which a wise official
forethought prescribes shall be car
ried on every lifeboat. OF course,
this supply must be kept in storage in
the boat itself, for in most instances
there would be neither time nor OPP
portunity to procure food supplies
when imperiled mariners take refuge
in one of these small craft. The
standard food supply exacted consists
of a breaker of fresh water of at
least fifteen gallons capacity and one
sealed tin containing % pounds of
hard bread, but if ship captain pre-

been shipped in the overturnipE or
as the result of waves breaking over
the craft.
Another revolutionary development
in the lifeboat field was in contempla-
ton even before the Titanic tragedy
spurred the officials to study OF the
whole broad subject This is the
proposal which has been up for some
time past to authorize the use OF mo-
tor-driven lifeboats on ocean steam.
ers The Life Saving Service has for
some time past been using Hfeboats
and surfboats equipped with gasoline
engines and has upward of $50 Of
these power boats that are giving
splendid satisfaction, but the govern
ment has hesitated to allow the use
of such boats on big SUBSEQUENTLY
because of some fear on the part of
the public regarding possible danger
from the gasoline. Now, however, it
is proposed to sanction the motor
driven lifeboats and in the case OF
disaster in mid-ocean, the power pro.
vided would enable the shipwrecked
party to set out for shore or for a
part of the ocean lanes where there
would be a sure chance Of encounter
ing passing vessels.

ANNIE LAURIE
BY Moses Gage Shirley.

"Oh, sweet and true and tender
Come to us that old strain
With thoughts of love endearing
That almost throbs with pain.
Marvellous banks are bonnie,
Where early falls the dew;
And twas there that Annie Laurie
Gave me her promise true.
II seem to see the evening close
Around them as they strayed,
That Scottish lad and lassie
Where none could make afraid.
81 hear the highland river flow,
Low ripping on it's way,
And mark the sunset DER It fall
AS fades the closing day.
Among the heather blossoms,
The happy lovers went;
They did not dream of sorrow then,
They knew not what It meant.
Her brow is like the snowdrift,
Her throat is like the swan,
Her face it is the fairest
That e'er the sun shone on.
That ere the sun shone on,
And dark blue is her eye,
And for bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die.
ooh, happy lover singing
Your love songs sweet and low,
You never dreamed that from her sid
You would be called to go.
you never dreamed that from her sid
Aught to you else but true,
AS when beside Marvellous banks
You wandered mid the dew.
"Oh, brokenhearted lover,
Who died so long ago,
Your song will ever thrill us
With its melody and woe.
"Oh, spirit brave and loyal!
For thee We breathe a sigh,
And for Bonnie Annie Laurie
I'd lay me down and die"
