SAVING LIFE AT SEA
A Suggested Scheme of Prac-
tical Reform.

Surely the terrible disaster OF the Titanic
will al last focus public attention upon the
question OF boat accommodation on passen-
ger ships to an extent that VIII compel
some drastic amendment of the present
criminal state OF affairs.
II IS duites true--as stated In The EX-
press'-that very few liners carry enough
boats 10 take off all on board. even should
none Of the boats be damaged in launching.
But that IS by no means all the story.
I have made many long voyages. and
state without fear OF contradiction that
half the boats on most ships that have
been. say. five years aioat-particularly
those including tropical routes-are not
only not seaworthy but they could not be
put out In anything like reasonable times
Every one who has travelled much Is ia
millar with boat drill" and knows IL TO
be an absolute farce. But want TO give
YOU actual observed facts.
Boat drill usually only consists Of sta
tons" being sounded. and the rollcall be-
ing taken Of the crew at each boat. Some
times one boat will be swung out, and often
the falls are not touched before she Is
swung inboard again!
What Is the good of that? Who is TO
krow whether the gear Is sound and in
running order7 Only once at drill have !
seen a life" boat actually lowered TO the
water In mldocean-and the joe was a
revelation TO many besides myself. Here
are the particulars:
We were stopped about an hour, in a
calm sea. for an engine overhaul--Quite an
ordinary thing-and boat drill was under
taken. The order to lower away Was
given quite Unexpectedly, and then the fun
or tragcdy-began.
First. the ropes were so kinked and dry
that they had TO be foroibly Strengthened

also fun big for the blocks. Then the
sheaycs we're found 10 be stuck, and an
4. g. was sent 10 the engine room for
grease After liberal application Of that
the boat made jorky start downward.
Half way the forward blocks damned, the
rope kinking badly. The after pair went
away with a run. and the boat hung By
the bow, with the two men who were In hen
clinging TO the seats-a position that would
have Inevitably thrown any passenger ouo
OF her into the sea.
Finally she was got ahoat just thirty-siN
minutes from the time the order was given
and then 1t was found that her plug was
not in! one man kept his foot over the
hole while the other hunted for the plug
among all the gear which had got shot In a
heap astern while she hung by the bow.
Even when the plug was in its place, she
took in water through several seams.
Probably she had not been IN The water for
years.
All this happened on well found" liner,
in broad daylight, the sea dead calm, and
everything in favor Of the crew.
Imagine such a scene in an accident at
night. Feeble. pickering lamplight, high
sea running drenchng spray and driving
rain, the swinging boat full OF terrified
passengers the ship unmana geable. settling
down. and every moment precious.
Again, on some ships the falls are so
skimped that they would only put boat
down properly when the ship was on an
even keel suppose. for instance, vessel
damaged and with a heavy list 10 port.
What becomes Of the starboard boats?
They would absolutely have 10 be dropped
TITO the water 10 take their chance.
II is far more than time that the Whole
question was thoroughly taken in hand.
| should like to see at least the following
rules made in1eMble:
l. That no ship should be allowed to go
t. sea without ample boat accommodation
for every one aboard her
3 That no ship should be allowed 10 clear
for sea unless her boats had been periodi-
cally examined by a qualified Board OF
