The Prince of Wales then relat- ed the extraordinary history of the famous Shamrock yachts in their races with, American craft, saying: "The yacht America won this Cup in a rica. round the Isle of Wight in 1851, and American yachtsmen have held it ever since. Sir Thomas Lipton's first Shamrock was built in 1899. The selected American defender then being Columbia, which won three straight raees somewhat easily.

Captain J. A. Coverley presided over the quarterly meeting of the members of the Mercantile Marine Service Association, held at the head offices, Liverpool.
The chairman said the report was quite a good one, with one exception, and that was the num- ter of unemployed, but when they saw so many ships laid up they could not be surprised at the posi- tion, Members who were coming home could now obtain cheaper railway travelling facilities. They would also notice that there was a movement on foot to improve ac commodation for officers on board ship. Although some ships had very good accommodation, in others it was still a secondary consideration. There was one very good suggestion made, that bunks should not be fitted near the sides of ships, in order to lessen the risk of bodily injury to persons sleeping during Д col lision.
Another important item in the report was the examination age limit for second mates. If the Board of Trade had been allowed to go on in their own way, this new regulation would have inflict- ed considerable hardship, on 0 considerable number of young men, who, in the ordinary course, would have finished their appren ticeship when about 18 or 19 years of age, and would then have had to go before the mast until they were 20 years old, or stay at home.

Shamrock IV was built to race for the America's Cup in 1914, and left this country convoyed by Sir Thomas Lipton's sy. Eria, about the middle of July of that year. She, passed through the great Fleet then assembled at Spithead on her way across the Atlantic, and when War was declared on Aug. 4 she was well over.
"The Erin's wireless operator learned the news of declaration of war by intercepting a message to a German cruiser in the neighbour hood, and later got in touch with a British cruiser, on whose instruc- tions Erin towed Shamrock IV, to Bermuda, and later to New York, where Shamrock IV, remained until 1920, when the contest WOB held, with the result- that although Shamrock IV. Won the first two races, she was Aually defeated by the Reso- lute winning the remaining three."
Challenger's Qualities.
Continuing, the secretary said that was a very fine acknowledg ment of the services of Captain Edwards, who for nearly three years had given special attention to the International agreement on the loading of tankers, of which he had long practical experience. The question of a light load line was one on which members could
desirable
speak with practical experience, and he thought it was that the meeting should put its viewe on record in support of the claim of the association that there should be a light load line. It ap- peared to him that the meeting
should ask the Board of Trade to submit the case of the Molesey, and the decision of the court to the Merchant Shipping Advisory Committee and ask their opinion of it.
Several memberè agreed that it was unanimously decided that the the association should approach Board of Trade and invite them to place the Molesey case before the Advisory Committee.
