Motor shipping progress in this country owes a great deal to the enterprise of the Gen Line, under the auspices of Lord Pirrie, and the interest which is attached to the development of the fleet of up-to-date ships already built and under con- struction for this firm is certainly augmented by records of earlier Glen Line motor vessels, says the May number of the Mote Ship..

Until now, owing in grest measure to laxity of control, shipowners have losses for which they were not respon sible. Reference was made to this subject in the report of the Imperial Skipping Committee, and li was there stated that pilferage was admitted not to be so great on ships or by ship Owner' servants as by stevedores, decision of the English underwriters. gockers, and others on shore.

It will exercise rigid control ever stowage and discharge in foreign ports, and it should also be borne in mind that some English port authorities requirs control of the ship to be given up to them while in dock.
