THE CHINA MAIL.
A short fime ago a well-knowE broker took a slip into the office of an underwriter for a certain voyage which involved some very intricate inter- land navigation. He began by complaining very bitterly of the rate which had been demanded. of him, and considered that it should be done! very much more reasonably. The anderwriter, in addition to being very successful at his business, is a keen vachtsman himself, and knows the sharp end of a ship from the blunt-- as well as most other things about hire. He was inclined to agree, with in limits, but he said, "first of all tell me whether the ship has been epuipped with a rangefinder?* That part of the subject had not-o curred to the broker before, and, as it happenead. it had not occurred to the owner either, although running through islands, with a strong current to complicate matters. makes the use of a rangefinder more than ever necessary. Before the war they were practically unknown except for naval and military use, but the host of keen yoangsters who went into the | R.N.R. during hostilities, and imme diately began learning the use and possibilities of the instrument, came back with a firm conviction that it would be of the greatest assistance in the safe navigation of merchant ships under certain circumstances.
And so it has proved beyond any shadow of doubt, although it is not yet used to the extent that it should be, says the Journal of Commerce.
Very many stranding cases are very easily avoided, and would never occur had the set of the current towards the coast been observed more care-i

volves:good deal of trouble, and there is not always the inclination to! use them. A recent Court of Inquiry that occupied considerable space in the Press goes to prove this, if any proof were needed, and one only has to run back and examine the files of such loss, inquiries to find hundreds of examples. Again, collision cases which come into the court are very often lost through conflicting evidence in the matter of the distance between the ships when measures were taken, and the reading of the rangefinder mounted on the bridge would carry infinitely more weight than the evi dence of the seaman lookout, who states that he first sighted the other vessel about a mile away, or maybe it was five hundred yards.”. Cable ships also find it of the greatest use, and ore of the largest telegraph; companies in the world has been so impressed by an exhaustive trial that

Commander Eyres-Monsell, Civil Lord of the Admiralty, announced in the House of Commons on May 24, that the present policy of the Ad- miralty is to build ships to burn oil fuel only. In a very short time the Fleet of this country will consist of oil-burning ships. He was speaking in support of a vote for £5836,600 for buildings and engineering opers tions for the Navy.
