Yet a scrutiny of the weather re-Haiching, British str., 1,284 tons, ports for the English Channel dur- ing the period May to September last year shows that in spite of the very bad weather generally experi- enced during the greater part of August and September the total Lnumber of days during that period

when the sea was moderate to rough" was only 19, or 12 per cent. of the whole period. ****

The recent speed at which cross- Channel steamer of the latest comfort have been bullt has also minimised the discomfort which during rough crossings was con- nected with the Channel for many years.
