DISASTERS ON THE OCEAN.
VESSELS THAT SAILYD AWAY AND NEVER RETURNED.
One effect of the long absence of the White Ster liner Naronfe has been to torn attention to the many ships that have gone missing in the past. Stalinics show that while, in spite of all modern improvements and the masy safeguards that are thrown around, the ocean traveller, versels continue to get lost, the average of marine dister I got is high as it was in day gone by, ner nie the wrecks of trader characterized by the same appalling loss of life which as rule distinguished those of earlier times.
The Naval Hydrographer calculates that in recent years there has been an annual total loss af 2,172 vistels, representing in value about $100,000,000. The annual loss of illo is placed
at 12,000.
The loss of merchant and other ships from various cames was estimated at Lloyds in 1800 to be about an average of 365 ships a year. In 1830 It was shown that 677 British vessels alone were wrecked daring that year, but the number of ships afloat at that period was insignificant compared with what it firow,
Subsequent years, particularly that of 1852, were very disastrous to shipping. The year 1852 was more prolific in marine dissters than Bay which has preceded it. In the following twenty-five years it is estimated that at least
60,000 wrecks occurred.

The Octan Monarch and the Bivolt were the next to make a mysterious exit. After them the steamship City of Boston went a-missing. The only trace ever found of her, was a board picked up at sea, which bere some rude lettering WE Finking to the affect that the venel when the mesingo was scretched upon it. It was found on February 11, 1870. Ten years later a bottle was washed ashore on the Irish const which, when broken open, was found to contain a memorandum signed by an engineer, which stated tha the steamship Sansibar, vessel that sailed from New York for Glasgow the previous year and had never been heardfrom, had foundered at sos. No other tidings were ever had of the Ill-fated crit.
Another veel boen fate is shrouded in mystery is the sloop-ul-war Ward, Captain Blakely, which, after gallantly capturing the Reindeer and Avon," disappeared and was never heard from again. Concerning her long ab erce, the genial Autocrat of the Breakfast Table said, reminiscently: "Long after the real chance hid utterly vanished I pleased myself with the fond illusion that somewhere on the waste of waters she was still floating, and there were years when I never heard the sound of the great guns booting from the navy yard without saying to myself: The Ward has come!' and almost thinking I could, sea her, as she rolled to, crumpling the water before her, weather-besten, barnacled, with shattered spars and toread-barecanvas, welcomed by the shoots sad tears of thousands.”
The long list of vessels whose loss at sea was attended with fright'ul fatality is led off with the A marino dister which attracted universal British cruiser Mary Roti, 60 guns, which upset attention at the time it happened was the loun in a squall in the year 1545, drowning all hands. at sea of the British ironclad Captain.

A few yea's later the fine line-of-battle ship Prince George was borned at sea while making pastige to Gibraltar. She lost 400 of her crew.
