numerous during the last four or fivc
months, that the Marine insurance
agencies here arc insttuting investi-
cations into tho circumstances of these
disasters. These cover some cases in
which tho fun claims have been paid.
in other cases they have resulted in
tho holding up OF insurance payments
pending inquiries. while others. It is
declared, in insurance circles. likely
will end in criminal proceedings. The
most suspicious circumstances attend
ing many recent sinkings. the under
writers declare. have been their almost
unfailing occurrence within safe reach
of land. In underwriting circles. 1t has
become common remark that mover
have SO many lost ships been known
with so little loss OF life.
Tho Spanish and Portuguese coasts
and tho Mediterranean have been
scenes of the majority OF tho recent
deathlcss sinkinEs.
Another curious fact noted by the
underwriters that the frequency OF
