They were all agreed that the accused carried a short firearm which was fastehed to his right wrist. Two of the wit. wesses also said that the accused appeared to be seasick.

Further, the solame would ensure that the poorer class of passenger, often dependent upon continued health and activity for a livelihood, would receive compensation in the events of fortuitous accident for which the shipowner could not legally be held itable. An import- ant feature of the scheme is that the contract of insurance would form part of the contract of car- riage, and would only be rendered vold by accident caused by the wikful misconduct of the Injured Passenger."

The scheme, which has already been discussed by, the Conferences held by the International, Maritime Committee at Gothenburg in 1928, and Amsterdam in 1927, is ap proaching completion, and it is pro- bable that at the Conference which will be held next year, a draft, con- ventlen will be adopted. The subse quant process would be the submis sion of the draft to the Brussels Diplomatie Conference, at which the representatives of those nations which intend to adopt the scheme irould attach their signatures, after which the signatory nations would, in due course, enact the necessary legislation
