I am glad to see the article on P. and 0. steamers, from the Bombay Gazette, which you have re-published. It is absolutely of vital importance that steamers should be able to sail as well as steam. In cyclones and the P, and O. steamers are constantly traversing their paths at cyclonic seasone -a ship lies to, that is, its head is put to the wind, and it steams at a slow speed, say, 8 knots an hour. As long as it can steam and steer, it can lie to successfully, and ordinarily there is no danger, though there may be discomfort, as in all rough weather. But if either steaming or steer- ing apparatus fails, a ship is simply a log unless she will answer to sails. Now, is evident, from the experience of the ustralia, not pleasant for those concerned when a ship is a log in the English Chan nel.
