THE SAILING SHIP AND THE
SEIPMASTER. ·
Captain Blackmore in an address before the Shipmaster's Society in London, wald, “It is } admitted on all handy that the Balling vessel is the only available school for seamen In view of the steady increase of steamers in the carrying trade, this statement appears to be disputable. It is a traism that new conditons bring their ewn support. Under such circumstances, it would seem that if steamers are to replace sailing vercle entirely, the kind of seamanship required for the latter will be, unnecessary and that demanded for steamers will be evolved from its surroundings, The chief weakness in this theory is that seamanship demands the knowledge of how to handle a vessel in

Such special words of command as "luff" and "keep away" will naturally be retained when ships are under sail; but otherwise it is pretty certain that before long to the whole German merchant service "right" and "left" will be substitued for starboird" and "port" as has already been done in the German Navy; and men returning from the latter' to the merchant service will no longer have to unlearn what they have been taught on board the men-of-war.

often, and the more closely the matter is studied, the more evident will it be that seamanship, of the kind learned in the handling of salling ships, cannot be eliminated from the merchant service, and that Captain Blackmore's asertion is true,
This school, however, may disappear if it is true that steam is to replace sail upon the seas. Under such conditions the only way to retain it would be for maritime nations to maintain sailing vessels as school ships, and make attendance upon these compulsory upon all those who in tended becoming salfors. This plan would be hardly feasible on account of other reasons be- sides that of expense. Bet is the school to depend entirely upon this plan? Sailing ships are on the Increase again. Sail has taken a new lease of life and strange as it appears to many people, has proved even more prefitable than steam. That it must remain forever aubordinato to steam need hardly be said, but evidence is patent that It is not being swept away and substantial reasons can be adduced to show that it ever remain an important factor in the carrying trade. As the walling ship will remain, the best school for training seamen will remain also, but it will depend upon shipowners whether fall advantage is taken of such kind of training. This is not a matter which concerns only the seamen and the shipowners. It is one in which the whole community is Interested, for it would be difficult to find any person, or industry, not in some way connected with shipping.
