"A year conspicuous for the com- plete absence of any important casualty which embodied a prospect of salvage in the area of our bases," was a feature of the review given by Mr. G. H.

In this respect, continued the chairman, the association had not wasted its time. They had had new boilers installed in the Ranger, which was probably, he said, "the best-known salvage steamer in the world," and was certainly not sur passed, either as to fitness for the work for which she was intended, or as to equipment, by any other craft of her type. The association's other vessels, the Restorer and Trover, had also been maintained in the highest state of efficiency.
The cargo department had several important cases to its credit, and was giving complete satisfaction to the commercial community, which make such extensive use of its ser vices. The office department, while having been affected by the general depression in trade, and the absence of important casualties, had in many ways rendered important ser- vice. He expressed appreciation of the work of the Glasgow office.
