The Titanic disaster was followed

by Home improvement in the provision of life-saving appliances. Apparently this last disaster is not even to have that meagre result, The public is quite apathetic, and being able to blame somebody tor the disaster, is seemingly quite content, not realising that under definite rules for travelling in fog it would have been impossible for the officer to have made the mistake which led. to the disaster, and that unless such rules are drawn up, a simi- lar disaster may occur at any moment. The report is clear and concise, but there are one or two omissions that are rather vital, One is that there is no mention as to the "speed at which the Storstad was moving. That she was moving is admitted; but we 22,000 - 21 knots From H'kong, Tues., 20th Oct.phould like to know if the Court.. 22,000 - 21 knots

only two or three knots an hour; but there is no reference to this at all in the report, and it is of vital importance. If both vessels had been proceeding at such a Pace that they could pull up within their range of vision, the accident would not have occurred, and it is speed in fog which ia the essence of danger.

and the Kaiser Wilhelm II., the latter admits to going at half- speed, or 10 knots, during a fog through which she could only see one hundred yards. Is that "moderate" speed that is to say, a safe speed? Apparently not, since the collision took place, and yet nothing is said about the speed being too

great. True, the Incemore was moving at the time, though she had signalled that she had stopped; but if she had been stationary and in the course of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, could the latter have pulled up in time to have avoided the collision? We doubt it. The judgment saya that some time before the colli- " sion the spead of the Kaiser Wilhelm II, was excessive. Will any action be taken against her on that account? There has been no indication that the Board of Trade intends to take any euch steps in the matter, even though its very moderate on-regulations have been broken. Again, in both cases the question

of sound signals comes up. At. present there is a code for such signals when the vessels are within sight of each other; while when out of sight-as, for instance, in a fog, and then most essential there are only two signala, Surely it would be easy, to sanction the same code bo:h for vessels in and out of sight of each other. There is no mention of the sound signals at all in the Empress of Ireland report, but if the vessels could have commani- cated in some such way there is Overy possibility that the ac cident might have been avoided. In the other case, the Ince-

gave the signal that she had stopped when she had not done so. Will the Board of Trade take action in this caso? Thus we see that on these two points (the question of speed and sound signals in a fog) the foding in the two collisiona shows that the rules are quite inadequate, and they will remain uo, with the frightful danger en- tailed, unless the Board of Trade realises that it is imperative to do something in the matter, and it will not do that unless popular feeling insiste that something should be done. But alas! the public remains spathetic.
