When the ladder is triced up, and canted up flush with the side of the ship, the automatic steps and platforms lie snugly in flat with the ship's side and thus offer little or no obstruction to breaking seas ind sprays which so frequently wash the old fashioned ladders away till they are broken to pieces. There have been many attempts to secure advantages in ladders, notably in the new German mail steamers which connect Hongkong with Hamburg; but Mr. Hutchings plan and method of construction will commend themselves, we believe, for ligh'ness, simplicity and strength, as superior to any which so far have been introduced.
