One factor that contributed mate
rally to the happy outcome of what
might have. been the worst catastro-
phe on the, Pacific was the excellent
boating arrangements on the Quilted
ste, ner.. While the Congress was
building her owners spared neither
study or expense in making her life
boat and handling equipment the best

ably beyond the most stringent gov
eminent requirements in this regard.
Also the stiffness of the Congress al
lowed of all the lifeboats on one side
being lowered without heeling the ship
far enough to interfere with the low
ering of boats.
The removal of the Congress from
the coasting trade will create a seri-
Gus shortage in ships and while the
vessel may be refitted this will take
many months. The Pacific Coast
Steamship Company was offered ST.
200 900 for this vessel several months
ago but refused this tempting price
because it would be impossible to re-
place the ship for a long period owing
to the congested condition of all the
big shipyards.
