" Pro Bono Publico" writes concerning the desirability of compelling owners o£ ferry and coastal steamers to provide their boats with suitable life-eaving appliances. He says : " Some years since, after the great sacrifice of human life by the einking of the eteamer Princess Alice in the River Thames close to shore, a commission appointed reported on the absolute necessity of all such steamers carrying on the main promenade decks as many life-belts as could well be affixed to the rails and etanchions. Would it not be wise if we learnt a lesson in time, and not wait for some tragedy to teach us to do what is right. Doubtless if that unfortunate Bteamer had been supplied with a few dozen life-belts, a great number would have been saved. I believe the Union Company pkce a life-belt at the disposal of every passenger. Why should not our ferry and coastal steamers be compelled to supply, if not life-belts, at least a number of lifebuoys, Bay one to each six passengers carried ? Or must we wait for the inevitable, though it occur but once in fifty years ?"
