-Alds to Navigation.
It is almost impossible for the longshoreman to fully estimate thel obstacles which fanesthe mariner when he puts to aes and navigation; a difficult matter. even on calm seas under favour able conditions becomes-6 very tough problem indeed if the lights and buoys placed for his guidanos are not reliable. In the autumn. of last year, a member of the Mercantile Marine Service As- sociation reported to the secret- ary that a buoyi marking a'much frequented routs was continually- being fouled owing to whether conditions, the lightin CONT squance being unreliable. Indeed, so strong was the feeling upon this subject among sea-faring men, upon whose shoulders. rests the onus of any socident - occurring even though the eSUSO be unlighted buoys or uncharted currents, that a petition bearing about 30 signatures was forward”. ed to headquarters urging, that in view of the untrusworthy nature of the buoy, a shore light might be established. A brief period elapsed during which nothing further was heard of the petition, but the Council of the Association then took the matter. up, and as a result of thair re- * presentations the shore light has new been established—“ Journal- of Commerce."
Ay Shipbuilding First. Further labour is urgently required for the output of merchant shipbuilding, says a Home contemporary. As the result of the Cabinet ínstructions: in November last for the return". to the shipyards of 20,000@skifted> men from the Army, men are now being placed in shipyards, A prominent member or the shipbuilding interest recently. said that ship production, next toʻ actual fighting, was the most' important work to be done · at present, and any skilled labour which could be sately dispensed i with, even on munitions, should... · be placed at the disposal of the shipyards without delay. He wAS- sure that as soon as the public. realisen the situation the diversion of skilled labour into. this very essential branch of national outpat would be supported. The weekly returna of the submarine sinkings should. “ convince" - any man・・ of - the' paramount need of the shipyards;- We must build, build, build, and the faster the better," he said. The public must bear in mind that in addition to actually build-- ing ships, our yards are engaged in the very important task of repairing and refitting vessels dainaged by submarines or other- causes. “Therefore, any man who?? possesses skill in metal work- suitable for employment in the? |shipyards should be transferred. -- Merchant Officers' Grievance,
In the general scheme of interchange of tonnage between i the Allies on the principle of assisting one another where and when required, a number of British merchant ships are and, indeed, have been since the commencement of the war- chartered to the Allied GoveŻKA ments engaged for the most part! in transporting munitions of war,“
