Of thin totul, says Lloyd's Sum- mary, 371 vessels of 533,002 tons were steamers, and 294 of 181," 028 toas were sailing vessels. These figures, asregarda steamers, are lower than those for 1912 by 39,743 tons; but us regard sailing vessels they are for the year 1913 somewhat higher-viz., by 7,808 tons. "All of there vessels were not lost by disaster. One of the
most common terminations of a vessel's career is by breaking up. dismantling, etc. The amount of tonnage so dealt with in 1913 WAS 108,795 tons, this being 48,846- tons less than that for: 1912, Nearly 20 per cent. of the steamera and 16 per cent. of the sailing vessels removed from the merchant fleets of the world in the course of 1913 are accounted for in this manner. Of the total. tonnage of such cases 422 per cent is represented by United Kingdom vessels,
