pleasure to us all to know that the

not be forgotten that the chances of

Beyond this careful seamanship and
"an amazing run Of good luck" have
played conspicuous part In this fortu-
nate record.
One conspicuous outcome OF the recent
conference on safety at sea was the in
sistenoe that passenger ships shoould be

has been sorely taxed not only TO provide

point he did emphasize. He said; 1T
is suggested that the basis for further

Besides this. he declared that greater
precautions should be taken for the lives
of the passengers than for the lives OF an

The second paper was by George W
Dickie, one Of the vice-presidcnts Of tho

Dickie has offered the shipbuilding world
something decidedly novel in merchant

to adapt in principle the protective deck
