SAA'EDISH SCHEAIE FOR UNEAIPLOYED. A company has been registered in Stockholm by a number of unemployed Swedish ships’ officers (estimated to be in Sweden 600), with the object of buying a tramp steamer to run entirely by themselves. The men promoting the scheme, any of whom have been without a ship for years, intend to ask for a subsidy and to raise a loan to buy a steamer of about 2,500 tons. CRUISER STERNS. The reason for the fairly general adoption of the cruiser type of stern in modern ships is either that it reduces wave-making effects or meets such internal requirements as deck space for rudder gear or crew accommodation (says Air 6. S. Baker, in his recent book on 1 Ship Design, Resistance, and Screw Propulsion ’). He states that with twin-screw ships quite material improvement in. resistance can be obtained with a cruiser stern, and, with care, to this can be added an increase in. propeller efficiency. He then describes the different forms this type of stern may take, and in discussing three different sections appears to favour one having a fairly fine run and a considerable overhang on the L.AA’.L. at the after end. Recent N.P.L. tests to improve the efficiency of hull forms, particularly of coasters, stressed the value of cruiser sterns. VESSELS IN AVIRELESS CALL.
