The re- zulations of 1879 supplement those isgned in 1862, by making it lucasbent on the part of those in sailing Tsels, as well. as steswers, to luke precautions in biok weather.

Accidents arising from violation ofike non rule awell the list of casualties, and the aggregato loses in which they are include tare quoted to show the lamentablo sacrifics of lifa ot mos.
