Mr Plimsoll, lata M P. for Derby, was examined recently before a select committee of the House of Commons on the subject of losses ot merchant shipping and crews at sea. He presented returns showing that more than 90UD lives had been lost in five years, and m many cases no inquiry had been made into the circumstances from which disaster resulted. The greater part of loss was owing to ships being loaded with grain in bulk. The principal remedy would be to place grain ir bags which could be easily moved so as to adjust and trim the ship. # The s.s.
