known that the tides reached an. abnormal velocity in this locality, but there appeared to be some thing more than the mere speed of a tide-race required to explain the frequency of wrecks on the Amberata. Proof of this was shown in the loss on the rooks, of ha Feiraku Maru which, on April 11, went ashore herself while go- ing to the assistance of the other steamer, the Nagata Maru. It may be assumed that her master was carefully watching the set of the tidea as be approached the wreck, yet, before steps could be taken to counteract it, he was himselfswept on to the rocke and the vessel became a total loss. It seems probable that the cause of this second disaster was das to the vessel auddenly coming within the influence of a strong and increasing current setting in the direction of the rooks, which she had not felt a little distance off. The explanation of so great an increase in the current in so smail 8 space is perhaps, due to the large volume of water sweeping suddenly diverted by the sub down from Shawaishan being

forced to find an outlet, being merged portions of the rook and, sont in a strong swirl round the westhertide portion of the rock, Such appears to be actually the the spot. On approaching the Case from observations taken on main rook from the south east- ward in a small boat, hardly any current was observed, the set being at most half a knot to the northward.. From the top of the main rook, however, it was ab served that immediately to the westward the tide was setting. among the outlying rooks with a speed that was estimated as ba tween four and five knots an

hour in a species of tide-race, It is easily understood that a vea- sel coming suddenly into the in- fluence of this strong current from comparatively still water, would be swept on to the racks, parti- cularly if the way was partially off her, before steps could be taken for her safety and such. appears to have been the o2056 of the second disaster in April. last. As to the first, and, the three which preceded it, a sudden an l unexpected sat may be held to account even for these in a case where a ship's coarse had been set to pass a given distance off the rocks under the

audden fluctuations. It is, there- impression that, the set wee constant and not liable to such

fore, advisable that shipmasters be warned of the danger of pana- ing the rocke, even at what might be considered in other cas08 A fair distance, since a sudden and unexpected current of four knots an hour might bring about dis- aster before its presence was 25- certained. As regards the mark« ing of the danger, there appears some doubt as to whether it would be better marked by a light or a fogaignal since, in nearly all cases, the wrecks which have occurred there have taken place in thick weather when a light would naturally be obscured. At the

Such a signal would have to be an acetylene fog gun, fired by wireless, such as in at present used in home waters and the Hertzian waves for this would have to be supplied from Woosung. At suob a distance, it would be impossible to ascertain whether the apparatus was work- ing properly or not, while a atill more serious factor would be the inability of the operator at Woo sung to tell whether it was foggy. at the Amberate or Colear Shipping and Engineering.
