Cyro compasses, with steering and bearing repeaters, have recently been Installed In floating factories engaged In the whaling Industry. The ships In question are the'Southern’Princess, belonging to the Southern. Whaling and Scaling Company, Ltd.-, and the C..-.A. Larsen, owned by Johan Rasmussen and Company.-of Standefjord. Norway. The adoption’ of Gyro compasses In ships of this class is quite a new departure. Such vessels trade, of course. In ..very highly southerly latitudes, where the magnetic conditions are exceedingly difficult for navigation, and where the advantages of a uon-magnetlc Gyro compass are most apparent. For some years past, for tho same reason, tho Hudson's Bay Company have been using Sperry compasses in', their principal ■hips with the greatest benefit.
