A Necessary Precaution.
o The Cunard Steamship Company, who own the large3t and best equipped fleet in the world, proudly t>oss6 that during the many years of their incorporation they havo never lost by shipwreck or accident the life of a single seaman or passenger. Dwellers in these Colonies havo no idea of the precautions taken by thia Company for the safety and comfort of passengers in the rough and boisterous Atlantic tra.de. Every berth carriea a life belt (as do the ships of the Union Company), whilst patent lifeboats and raftß aro stowed at every convenient corner of the deck. Every chip carries, too, for the free use of passengers and crew, an abundant 3upply of St Jacobs Oil, in order that tho many bruises, sprains, colds, and other ailments incidental to a bad weather trip may be quickly and surely relieved.
