"Four Points.
have Lloyd's underwriten several points of view on the in- surance of this great vessel, which- is being designed to win back the blue riband of the Atlantic for Great Britain...
They state
no
1. That there should be State Interference in the ordinary marine insurance market, which might eventually lead to completa
i. Government control.
2. That they are not prepared. to meet the entire risk, which may amount to £4,000,000 on one ship. because it would mean placing "too many eggs in one basket.".
8. That vessels of auch size and power are totally uneconomic and would operate for some time at a dead loss, such as the Europe and Bremen, which are largely insured in London.
4. That such a ship is nothing. more than a gigantic advertise- ment for this country entirely out of proportion to its value.
The situation has been growing more serious with each conference of the marino branch of Lloyd's The Underwriters Association. attitude of some important mem
is that the underwriters bers ahould simply take what cover they can comfortably and safely assume, and let the Government handle the remainder.
This may mean that the State will find self responsible for any- thing up to £3,000,000 of,insurance when the new liner starts on her
maiden voyage.
་
..
- "Let the Government once.get caught out on a risk like that, sald a loading official of the asso clation, "and it will drop ita marine insurance guarantees, like a hot brick"
The attitude taken by the under- writers is severely criticised in some quarters, although their stand has not yet actually led to any definite protesta,

THE SEVEN SEAS.
A SEARCH INTO THEIR ORIGIN.
A
"Mannin Crane" writes:-Many years ago on my first voyage, I re- member asking an old "shellback" He which are the seven seas? didn't hesitate chewing his quid of tobacco even to answer me, it was so easy. "Which is the seven seas, "Well, me boy?" he replied. there's the Black Sea, the Red Sea, the Yellow Sea, the-er-White Sea, the what-d'yer-ma-call-it. ... Oh yea, the North Sea, the Irish Sea, and the-er-why of course, the
How Medytieranean Sea. many's that? And there's whole lot more," he added in ona breath. After approaching a num ber of the crew in a spirit of thirat-for-learning, curfosity and disbelief, I was supplied with over a score of names including such as the Baltic, Azov, and Seas. A well-known Zuyder modern writer has given it as his opinion that the seven seas consist of the five oceans, two of which are conveniently divided in half to make seven, viz., North and South Atlantic,-North and South Pacific,
and Indian, Arctic,
Antarctic Oceans. It was naively suggested that these savon oceans contained all the seas. The more I penetrat- ed after truth, the more foggy be 'came, the quest. The Seven Seas as a phrase runs smoothly, but that is not all. In this, as in supersti- tion and legend, there is usually some good foundation in fact, I would suggest, therefore, that we are indebted to the ancients "for the "seven seas," for they knew of seven seas only, viz, the Persian Gulf, the Black, Adriatic, Red, Mediterranean, Caspian, and the Aegean Seas. Dealing with these more fully and bearing in mind' that the cradle of seamanship was Thursday, November 6. Nanchang, British str., 1,488 tona,in the countries of the Chaldeans,
