A speed of 13 8 kr ot~ oc.ly was obtained, and it is proposed to alter the pitch of her propellers to ci.deavour to bring the i-pced uo to the 16 knots expected, The machinery worked excecdi jjly well.

It is stated that the Board of Trade has under consideration the advisability of establishing some rules for the removal of floating wreckage that may bo a source of danger to navigation. This bei'.g a quesiion which concerns all maritime nations,"there is some idea of sounding foreign governments as to their readiness to submit to ialernat oral regulations on the suboct.
