NOTES AND COMMENTS.

-The Charting of the China

Coast,

Unfortunate as the wreck of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's fine mail steamer Sabraun undoubtedly is, we have hopes that it may in reality prove to be a blessing in disguise, in so much as the loss of a new vessel belonging to one of the greatest of our steamship companies may result in the Admiralty pushing ahead the work of the resurrey of the China Coast.

Ah inspection of the charts appertaining to this part of the world will show that, except in the near vicinity of the Treaty Ports and other places well within reach of

soundings have been run. This means that a captain taking his vessel up dr down the coast has little to go upon when he has to verify his position by soundings.

Five members of the Police Force appear to have been born under an unlucky star. They were unable to go home by the last English mail on account of an outbreak of smallpox and now they are again, disappointed by the wreck of the Sobraon. It is whispered that the strong man of the party darkly hints at swim- ming home if he can find a companion to accompany him.

In a well charted place it is not only possible, but in many cases comparatively casy, for the shipmaster to find his way through the thickest fog by the use of the lead alone. Cross lines of sounding have been run close together, with the result that all inequalities of the bottom are as carefully mapped out as those shown on an Ordnance map of an English county. Here and there the nature of the bottom is stated, whether sand, shells, mud, coral, etc. With such a chart as this fog matters little or nothing, The shipmaster can keep his lead going and THE London and Glasgow Shipbuilding Com his line of soundings followed on and company (Limited), says the L. & C.

The following is a summary received by telegraph from Shanghai of the Passengers and cargo on board the Sabraon :

Vessels arriving from Shanghai report fog about the Tung Yung group where the Sobra struck...
