thus far the most disastrous three
months that shipowners on both sides
of the Atlantic have experienced in
nearly fifty years. Correct estimates
of the loss caused by the series OF
storms that have swept the coasts OF
Europe and America are difficult 10

his figures on the Lloyds reports. said
today that the damage to deep-sea
vessels alone would amount 10 ST.

loss suffered by the coasting trade OF

One result OF the years storms has
been the annihilation Of many Of the
few OF the wooden schooners left In
the American coasting trade. The
price of all ocean vessels has risen.
