(Received April 27th, 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, April 26. Tho Merchant Shipping Advisory Coiumittee'o report regarding life-saving appliances on passenger steamships recommends that boats sufficient for all aboard should be carried as far as possible without encumbering the decks and impeding the prompt handling of the lifeboats. Where this cannot be done, the deficiency of accommodation should be met by means of light buoyant apparatus. In ally case, in addition to boat accommod-ation for all, light buoyant api paratus should bo provided for twenty-five per cent, of those aboard; also motor-boats with. wireless should be carried in certain cafes.
