and FIRE, and the reasonableness of applying it to these

Eastern Waters therefore depends on the extent to which these

risks are found by experience to erist here, or, if existing,

the extent to which they can be guarded against with due re-

gard to local conditions. ICEBERGS may at once be eliminated

of risk which may be said to be non-existent in these Waters

in so far as they constitute a danger to steam navigation.

Derelict Junks are sometimes met with but the danger to full

powered steamers, apart from minor damage, is negligible.

is already the practice of all shipmasters to report to the

China Coast Inspector and other Authorities whenever derelicts

are seen. As regards the bare possibility of a derelict in

these waters being a vessel large enough to lead to loss of

life if struck by another vessel, it should fitst be considered

whether the existence of such a danger out here can reasonably

be presumed to be worth legislating for. Eastern experience

of water-logged craft other than occasional junks is nil.

Unquestionably what the Convention principally legislates for

is water-logged sailing vessels with timber cargoes engage in

the North Atlantic trade, such trade being on a large scale

and the danger of long standing and well known.

Derelict steel

or iron vessels are practically unknown, at any rate it is

safe to say they are not contemplated by the Convention.

would therefore be "unreasonable" to impose upon Eastern shipping

the obligation of providing at great expense and inconvenience

means calculated to mitigate the consequence of what cannot

reasonably be contemplated. This risk may consequently be

bracketed with icebergs so far as Hongkong legislation is

desirable.
