Atlantic waves, propelled by such hurricades PORTRAITS GROUPS and ENLAR
as sweep that ocean, cao bring to bear. The shifting of cargo, especially in grain-laden ships, is a very fruitful cause of trouble in rough weather, and might easily lead to the sinking of a vessel. Overloading especially, with British ships, is now happily practically a thing of the past and in any case it could have nothing to do with the loss of such vessels ns. the Naronic and Huronian. But the danger of 100 little ballast when a ship in “light," Le, not loaded with cargo; has been recognised of late years, and may well have accounted for the sinking of as many craft as overloading did in days gone by. The perils of destruction by fire er collision with icebergs are so obvious that ege need hardly discuss thom except to point out that the more efficient means of pumping water on to flames now carried by all vessels greatly diminish the former danger, and the improved subdivision of ships into water-light compartments by means of bulkheads tends such to protect, against the consequences of this "Tatter," Morentar, a captain who has the slightest suspicion that he is in the neighbour. hood of ice--and a rapidly falling thermome
