In referring to the probable causes of the disappearance of many British ships Mr. Edward Noble (author of The Grain-carrier, in an article in a Manchester newspaper reviews the losses for the past twenty years. Taking the period of 1886 to .1906, during which tramp vessels, both steam and sail, multiplied enormously, he • says that 1114 ships were listed as ‘“missing,” and he estimates the number of officers and seamen who perished at 16,892. In one year as many as 101 ships mysteriously disappeared, but in the other years as few as twenty-six vessels failed to put in an appearance at their destinations. Air. Noble condemns the practice of sending old slops to sea, laden with heavy cargoes, and declares that very many vessels are under-manned.
