A Necessary Precaution.
The Cunard Steamship Company, who own the largest and best equipped fleet in the world, proudly boast that during the many years of their incorporation they have never lost by shipwreck or accident the life of a single seaman or passenger. Dwellers in these colonies have no idea of the precautions taken by this company for the safety and comfort of passengers in the rough and boisterous Atlantic trade. Every berth carries a life belt (as do the ships of the Union Company), whilst patent life boats and rafts are stowed at every convenient corner of the deck. Every ship carries, too, for the free use of passengers and crew; an abundant supply of St. Jacob’s oil, in order that the many bruises, sprains, colds, and other ailments incidental to a bad weather trip may he quickly and surely relieved.
