I believe it to be the fact that, though the. Titanic was fitted with transverso bulk- hende, there were low, if any, bulkheads parallel to the sides of the ship, Such sub-division is common in the Navy, where the engine rooms are intended to be protected against projectiles, though it is believed that very few merchant ves- sele aro so fitted. The Mauretania and Lusitania have both transverse and longitudinal bulkheads; but that, no doubt, is because the Government, having the power to use these vessels in time of war as cruisers, demanded such additional protection, The highest opinion is that in theory vessels with such sub-divisions are extremely well provided against the risk of collision. Thus Bir William White, in his manual of Naval Architec ture, writes of their function as follows:-

"An illustration of the usefulness of the wing passage bulkhead against ram- Jaing or collision was afforded in the ucci- dental collision of the Minotaur and Bellerophon, the outer skin of the Del- lerophon was broken, and the armour driven in, but the ship remained on aer- 'vice for some time before the repairs were completed. Again, when the. Hercules and Northumberland came into collision, a very similar advantage resulted from the existence of the wing passage in the latter ship. In the case of the Vanguard, although the vessel was lost, the existence of the inner skin was an immense ad- vantage to the ship, keeping her afloat for 70 minutes after the collision, whereas, had flere been no inner skin, the vessel must have sunk in a very few minutes.'

One or two factors must, however, he taken into account. The watertight com- partments skirting the sides of the ship are used as bunkers, and when a wodern yewal in-steaming fast there are stokers in every hunker; these men, for their own protection, are in the habit of leaving the watertight doors on the flour of the com- partments ajar or open, This is a dix- advantage thai has to be met and over- come, for in order to gecure the fall offi- ciency of the system it is essential that the doors should be closed on the first sign of danger. Also, in the event of the side watertight compartments being filled, the ship naturally lists, and though it may be hasier to lower boats from that side of the vessel, it might be impossible to do so from the other. The whole question is a highly technical one and does not permit of dogmatic asertion; but in view of the belief of high authorities that sub-divi- sions of watertight compartments do tend to diminish the risks of disaster, the builders of liners, intended almost solely for passenger service, will no doubt give the subject very careful reconsideration.

CHINESE ENGINEERING COM PANY'S DIFFICULTIES.

AGRESHENT ARRANGED...

A circular has been issued to the share- holders of the Chinese Engineering and. Mining Company stating that the negotia- tions which have been carried on for some time past with a view to terminating. the political and other difficulties relative to the affairs of this Company in China have resulted in certain arrangements which are about to be completed, and which have received the approval of the British and Chinese Governments

The directors expect shortly to be able to call an extraordinary general meeting to obtain the assent of shareholders to the arrangements in question, which will in- volve the reconstruction of the company and the question of the distribution of the balance of net profits. In those cir- cumstances, the directors do not consider it advisable to pay an interimi dividend as usual on May 1. They consider that the successful conclusion of the negotia- tions justifies the temporary sacrifice of profits caused by the reduction of pries of cont which has been made for some time past in order to meet the com- petition which, under the arrangements referred to above, will now be terminated. The company was registered in 1900 to acquire the undertaking of a Chinese concern, catablished in 1878, the prin- -cipal assets of which consisted of three- collleries on the Kaiping coalfield, a line of six steamers, wharves, land and offices in various Chinese ports, and the harbour of Ching Wan Tao, in the Gulf of Pechili, at which extensive works have been constructed. The authorized capital is £1,000,000 in shares of £1 each, all of which has been paid up. There are also outstanding £40,000 of 0 per cent, de- bentures and 6 per cent. second mort- gage debentures for £60,000. From 1906-7 to 1909-10 s dividend of 15 ́per cent, was paid on the shares, and for 1910-1110 per cent, was distributed.

It may be recalled that at the meeting held in October last the chairman said that the director, in response to overtures for amalgamation" from the Lanchow Mining Company, had expressed their willingness to consider any definite and authoritative proposal on terms which "would do justice to the company's in- terests und which would ensure the efficient management of any company which might be formed for the purpose of effecting an amalgamation.
