COMPULSORY TRAINING FOR BOAT CREWS.

It will doubtless be a surprise to the public to learn that generally, apenking, little provision is made by shipping companies to enable their officers and crews to become cffolent in the handling of the ship's lifeboats.

A master mariner and a member of the Mercantile Marine Service Association, which has asked the Board of Trade to make boat anil. ing drill compulsory at stated short intervals, told an Engllah Presa re- that presentative

the board

of Trade Regulations provided that candidates for mates certificates should hold certificates of boatsnil- ing efficiency, but the procedure was haphazard.

The main difficulty to-day, he said, was that ships nover spent long enough in port to enable the men to have practice in lifeboat work. It was hard to see how things could be improved short of a Board of Trade Order that prac- tice should take place frequently, when the companies would have to make some arrangements even if it meant another day in port.

He recalled a recent'statement by the senior examiner for musters and males have had to examine candidates from John o'Groats to Land's End, and while I have found them better down South, I say without hesitation that they are all shockingly bad. I frequently find candidates pass the other parts of their examination with ease, but when asked how they would handle a lug-mail boat under certain con- ditions they are completely baffled.. He pointed out many of the big liner companies made a special
