A NECESSARY PRECAUTION. The Cunard Steamship Company, who own the largest and best equipped fleet in the world, proudly boast that during the many years of thoir incorporation they have nover lost by shipwreok or acoident the life of a single seaman or passenger. Dwellers in these colonies have no idea of the preoautiona takon by this company for the safety and oomfort of passengers in the rongh and boisterous Atlantio trade. Every berth oarries a life-belt (as do the ships of the Union Company), whilst patent lifeboats and rafts are stowed at every convenient corner of the deck. Every ship carries, too, for the froe uso of passengers and orew, an abundant supply of St. Jacobs Oil, in order that the many bruises, sprains, oolda, and other ailments incidental to a bad weather trip may be quickly and snrely relievod. ALWAYS THE WAY. If you meet a man on the wharf using strong language beoanse he has missed the steamer just passing Tiritiri, you oan safely wager that lie does not oarry a Waterbury. People who do are nover in a hurry. Thoy w*)k down leisurely, and oaloh tbeir boats every time, simply beoanse their watohes havo boon bnilt to show them only tho oorreot time, and not to mislead them by an approximation only, Tho man who, when asked tho time, looks at his watoh and, after having got a glimpse of the sun's position and gone through a few arithmetical calculatio on his fingers, tells you " Oh, about twenty or twenty-five minutes to ono," carries a gold ohronograph, or come other " graph," whioh cost him twenty guineas to buy, and as mnoh more to koep it going at all. If he owned a Wttterbury his answer wonld be short, sharp, and oorreot, sir ; not a minute too fast, and never Blow. 3 A E.
