How necessary It is that tho life-saving appliances of vessels should be examined regularly is instanced by tho case of the steamer Tangistan, which recently visited Sydney. In the ordinary course of their duties, the Sydney officers of tho Navigation Department mado an inspection of the steamer's lifeboats. On the starboard boats being lowered, water rushed into them and they sank. The port boats , sank even more quickly. A largo number of lifebelts were earned on the vessel, but after examination they were condemned. The vessel has put into many ports within the last six months or so, and that tho condition of her life-saving appliances was not known is, to say tho least, remarkable, Before visiting Australia the Tangisian was engaged carrying thousands of Mohammedan pilgrims to Mecca.
