The preventive boats fon the south °® as s® n ßhmd, which have to face the worst possible; weather, have. always water ballast when, looking after smugglers in the tempos- 1 ,tnooi| winter months. I would recommend also t inexpensive plan of making 1 ,bdat* almost as safe as lifeboats, and that is, by l getting a few yards of 6hip’s canvas and sewing * v f gea together, make bags the whole -length of the boat, say, for a boat such as the . enelhifc: wa» lost.last .week, each bag 15 feet' long, one to be lashed under the stern sheets and thwarts, fqre and aft, on each side, about S hiches below the gunwale. These two bags, should be filled,, wish cork, shavings, and well sewn and painted, and would be capable of floating a Boat as above with eight or twelve . *• boat lost last week 1 know ; well/ Having been out in her very lately. f She bad 4cwt scrap iron as ballast. Six beakers of water, each ten gallons, would be equal to this! ■ womd WBfc.oo more. Two canvas ?®B?ir 1“ foot each, of sailcloth—ten yards It--3d ‘per ’ yard—would : be 12s 6d, corks or, - shaTmgs making 12s 5d more—say 25s to - snake the boat perfectly safe. CITY OP GLASGOW AT LYTTELTON PHOM' THE CLYDE. ’ pectMly.off the Heads on March 20, after a remarkably ijuick‘passage of 73 days from pilot ' Pn, going alongside, Dr, Gleghom, •surgeotf-supenntendent, informed the Health .Officer that measles broke out on the day the - Mop sailed.: Tile disease was mild, and not 'of a bad type, and was confined to the married people s compartment.! One of the officers was attackod with measles, but was now recovering.' inere had been two oases of scarlet fever of a mild type. He further stated that the disease had been brought on board by one family two days before he joined the ship. On the day he came on board he learned that a child was suffering from a rash, which he judged to be ■meanleS. The family could not be landed ne±t ■day-on account of the wet and cold, and the .inspectorconsidered that the risk might be .taken* The Health Officer and Dr Bouse went ■on board and inspected the convalescent*, and! said, as a precautionary measure, the Bffip had better go into quarantine. The immiarants coma be lapded at the barracks! where T o ™* bo able to Hive their an » should no disease show itself they wwld be released in a few days. .
