of setion which they should follow. Boms are imprac DECAY ticable; others have the merit of usefulness, One of the boat suggestions which we have heard or seen comes from a reader of the Telegraph. He points out that one reason for the daring of the pirates is that, in mest cases, they can easily get away from a abip which they have looted. Their line of retreat is generally secure. Attack that line and render it dangerous, he argues, and pirates will be loss ready to attack a vessel. His idea of how to make retreat dangerous is noval, but it is well worth con- sidering.
