The Marine Tragedies of 1913. From the point view of financial boss, says a Loudon paper, had it o been for the terrible disaste Titanin, the year 1912 would rathegala distinct improvement upon the two pre- ceding years, which were the worst in the history of marine insurance. True, thero have again been numberless brit the total claims involved, arch cluding the almost crushing bles sioned by the sinking of the Tisan, not represent in the aggregate anything like the total of 1910 and 1911. Under writers are cautious people, and while the experts will not commit themselves to definito figures, tho sums paid out are admitted to run into many millions.

makes sad reading. The casualties, both to life and property, have been numer. ous, and pre-eminent amongst them in the staggering disaster to the Titanic. which, apart from, the 1,500 live lost, resulted in claims of between two and threo millians sterling. There were other considemble losses which would seent for another three or four millions. The ntnor casualties, however, maka up in number what they leak in financial im- portauce, with the result that the total is swelled enormously.

A DISANTEOUS BEGINNING. The first five or six months furnished the most disasterous portion of the year, there being over 3,000 total or partial jonsch. After comparative immunity from Burious losses in the summer, there was a recurrence of the daily toll in the Lutumn.

Only last month some ten steamers on Atlantic passages were simultaneously overdue, but fortunately the greater num ber of these have since turned up, the others being still unaccounted for.
