PROCEDURE OF COMMITTEE.

in approaching the problems set her fore us. the Committee state. ** our method of procedure was to determine first of all the geographical areas in which similar weather conditions exist. These areas were then studied in detail, in order to decide what "loading reatric- tions would be necessary. Primary con- sideration was given to the meteorolo gical conditions known to prevail, with out fear or favour as to how the res trictions recommended might "affect the economic interests of shipping. At the same time, we have kep; in view the prin. cipal trade routes of the world and have endeavoured to confine our recommenda. tions as to loading restrictions to the smallest areas that considerations of safe loading require. This been facilitated by a knowledge of the progress made in broadcasting weather reports and gale warnings by means of wireless telegraphy. In considering the method of delineating geographical zones we have kept in mind the necessity of adopting some simple plan which will be readily understand. able, and for this purpose parallels of latitude and meridians of longitude have been used throughout, whether possible."

With regard to the limits of the winter restricted zone. the committee state:-

Having fully considered the northern hemisphere as a whole, and each ocean in detail, we are of opinion that in the northern hemisphere the parallel of 38 deg. N. most nearly serves as a line of | demarcation, south of which 'summer' or 'Indian summer' free-boards should ob-

cember 16th to March 15th inclusive,

An examination similar to that made of the Northern hemisphere led to the choice of 35 deg. S. as the corresponding limit in the southern hemisphere, but, owing to the continuous stormy weather of the southern ocean south of latitude 45 deg. 5. throughout the year it was considered necessary to divide the south- ern hemisphere into three zones, a follows:-(1). From the equator to 35 deg. 5.; summer or Indian summer freeboards throughout the year. (2) From 38 deg. S. to 45 deg. 8. winter freeboards from April 1st to October 31st inclusive, and summer freeboards for the remainder of the year. (3) South of 45 deg. 8. winter freeboards throughout the year.

We have considered the question of extending the application of the winter North Atlantic load line to other oceans and are of opinion that, having regord to the weather conditions in the southern hemisphere southward of 45 deg. S., the I restriction should apply southward of this parallel from April 1st 10 October 31st inclusive

TROPICAL STORMS.

Ou the subject of hurricanes (tropical storms) the committee state: "We have made an exhaustive examination of all the available data on this subject, which are very complete, and have delineated areas where there is special risk from hurricanes. The number of hurricanes in Buy puc area during the year, however, is very small compared, for instance, with the number of gales during the winter period in winter, restricted zones; and, while there is a lack of evidence of the number of casualties directly attributable to hurricanes, this number also is known to be very small, notwithstanding the fact that no loading restrictions have been imposed. Moreover, in the sensons when hurricanes usually occur, the wes ther conditions are otherwise favourablé. In view of these considerations and pf the fact that the facilities for broadenst ing warnings and detailed information of hurricanes by means of wireless, tele- graphy are rapidly improving, we do not (Continued, on serttiopisina,) f
