EMERGENCY POWER
(To the Editor.)
Sir, —No person could take any reasonable exception to the finding in the Tahiti disaster, but I do feel that a competent Court could well consider if other, and additional, means could not be provided which would be o£ material assistance in such eases. Some, time ago, following the wreck of a ship, a letter over my signature was published containing ,the suggestion that ou the boat deck of large passenger ships an engine should be installed which should be capable of supplying power for electric light, pumping, and wireless. Probably the Tahiti would now be afloat if she had been provided with such an engine. Almost every accident during recent years has emphasised the wisdom of an auxiliary engine, such as I suggest.—l am, etc., CORNUBjfA. -
