THE PERFECT SEA - BOAT. To inquiry into the mystery surrounding the fate of the Wa- ratal will doubtless have, the effect of cansing some amount of norvousness on the part of those who have to undertake long journoys by sea.. Stability is an easily understandable torm; it limy bo taken to m1041 the ability of the vessel to romain in an approximately vertical position in spite of the violent buffeting of wind and wavos, "Recovory powers also is a phrase which reads little ox planation, for it describes the ability of a ship to return quick ly to a normal position after having hooled over by a gust of wind or an extra heavy wavo (anys) the London" Daily Graphic").

This, however, is a point that cannot ha settled on general linos, since the stability of shups depends not only upon in dividual design, but upon the eliaracter of the enrgo of enchi vos Bel, and the method in which it is

The great recovering powers |ind · stability, of modern woll- designed ships is illustrated by the fact that is long agoas 1893, in a voyago undertaken just before Christmas, II. M. S. Rosolution struck bad weather in the Bay of Biscay and a roll of 40 degrees was recorded, while she was lying-to. The incident was illus. trated in the "Daily, Graphic of December 20, 1893, from sketches supplied by an officer on the vesso, and her adventurous trip was reported by a corros pondent in the same issue, The incident is worthy of being re- called at the prosont moment, when it is our purpose to om phasise the essential safety of modern vossel..
