At a recent meeting of the Liverpool Shipowners' Association consideration was given to the Board of Trade's request for an opinion with reference to certain proposed new signals for the prevention of collision at sea.

Some idea of the difficulties connected with the bar-harbours of New South "Wales, (says the Sydney correspondent of Lloyd'ij List) is furnished by a report from the North Coast Company, showing the delays and accidents experienced by their vessels at the entrance to the Manning. During 1939 the Htcamor Eleotra was bar-bound 22 days, aground two- days, delayed in Sydney four days, and once struck the breakwater. The Burrawang was bar-bound four' days, dolayed in Sydney four days, aground five days, and eventually wrecked. The Eureka was bar-bound five days, and the Myee 11 days. The Pyrmont was bar-bound 10 days and delayed eight days. The Rosedalo was bar-bound seven days, and delayed two days. During the Jew months of this year tho Electra was bar-bound seven days, delayed four days, once had to return to Sydney, and onoc lost her rudder and was towed home. The Prymont was bar-bound 12 days, and the Myee 10 days. The Minnimbah was bar-bound three days and then wreckcd.
