Stability of Vessels. The number of accidents which have happened on the China coast and elsewhere says "Shipp- ing and Engineering," call attention to the great need of the stability of their ships being thoroughly understood by those responsible for their safety at sea," While rule of thumb methods are adorted to decide the stability of shipe many disadvantages will result, and sometimes with" serious consequences. Numerous. examples can be given showing, how even an experienced captain may be deceived in regard to the condition of his vessel. Many of these come to light, but a far greater number probably go. Enrecorded. In one instance a ship was thought to be tender when loading, and water ballast was put in at the expense of cargo. At sea the vessel was found to be quite stiff, and the extra water ballast that had been taken in was pumped overboard, the ship still being amp'y stable. In another case a ship was behaving badly at sea, and more ballast was taken in, with the intention of rectifying the defect. This proceeding in itself was dangerous, but fortunately noth- ing serious happened. Actually, however, the ship became worse, and later it was found that her initial bad behaviour was due to the fact that she was alre dy too atiff. Recently the Dutch zea- goinz motor brat Zeesrend was taking in general cargo

load was almost complete the vessel capsized. The capsizing of the Eastland, at her pier in New York is probably still fresh in memory, and illustrates a re- markable case of incompetency and ignorance on the part of those responsible for the safety of the ship. It was common knowledge that the vessel was tender, and that water ballast had to be used to render her safe for the carriage of passengers. In spite of this, the ballast was omitted, and the vassel capsized with the loss of over 1000 lives Such happenings as these, and many more like d'light them would be next to impossible 3 p.m. if some sistematic efforts were
