SALE OF JAPANESE-STEAMERS.
In connection with the previous report of the sale of Japanese steamers to foreigners, it is interesting to note that more than 15 steamers have so far been sold. The Uchida Steamship Company has again signed a contract with a Norwegian business man for the sale of the Aikoku Maru, 4,720 tons, at the price of £20 per ton with a discount of 6 per cent. The ship is being released next month by the French Government, to whom the Uchida company chartered her at Y. 53 per ton in December 1917, for two years,

ment. The boat, as the beading states, is reversible, being identi- cally the same either side up. Should it capsize, regardless of which side is uppermost, it is so constructed with non-return valves that all water is quickly baled out of it. The wonderful buoyancy of the boat is such that even if she wero holed in launching, and water entered around the tanks, she would not submerge below decks. Some- times it happens in case of ship- wrecks that lifeboats are capsized and emerge from the water keel | uppermost, and people are found clinging to it. Lives have been lost

circumstances through exposure and inability to hold on for any length of time. This could never occur with the “Gaskin,” is once it reaches the water, being reversible, a boat is to hand for the people to climbinto. Once in the water she can be rowed or sailed as an ordinary boat, being fitted with patent row- locks. on both sides. She is remarkably steady in the roughest- see, riding and following the action of the waves
without the rolling and jumping which takes place with the ordinary boat. This is due to the air cushion beneath, which by the action of suction gives her a clinging power to the weres. Fore and aft she is fitted with water- tight compartment for

In a sudden accident many people" lose their heads and crowd into boats that are already full, thereby endangering not only their own life but the lives of those who have been fortunate enough to secure a seat beforehand. This danger, the inventor claims, is entirely eliminated by use of the "Gaskin." She is built to seat 60 people, but even if 60 more clambered over the side she would not sink or overturn, and the amount she She would be unappreciable. has been put through some very severe tests by the American authorities for buoyancy, stability baling, turning, and rowing and sailing tests, and sho came through all with dying colours.

It has been certified by the American authorities as a class A1 open lifeboat, and a second class lifeboat and as a raft. It is to be expected that this new kind of lifeboat will be generally adopted in many vessels, more especially those that are engaged in passenger trades to different parts of the world. Many of the faults that are found in the present styles of lifeboat in use
are entirely corrected in the new reversible craft and this will greatly add to its attractiveness amongst ship.
