pLAN STEAMER.—During the official trials in the Firth of Clyde of the motor-ship Clan Macdonald, which tile Orreenock Dockyard Company has built and Messrs. J. E.

They had no doubt that it would prove satisfactory on service. The was an outstanding example of an up-to-date cargo liner comparing very favourably with any other cargo liners afloat in design lavship equipn2ent » material and workmanand insurance. Apparently there has been- some confusion of thought over and'insurance at the Worcester Diocesan Gcnference, and Canon T. A. Lacev writes to -The Times” to evolve wder ,m according to "Fairplay.” He says admirable precision, that “insuras f should not bo desmfbed Bumbling, for gaming or gambling . wagering money for ’ b l ut ' Wlts ' some confusion of thought Oil his own part, adds: “But wafer" 5 ' „?! insurance is certainly a v-ager. His reason for this statement is, apparently, that when returning from America in 1917, and wishing to be sured against the grave risks of sr-a - 1113,1 time ' st difficult, “beSL tl^ere was 11 ° regular practice of marine insurance at New York.” However, a friend of high standing in the business arranged a special contract for L e^ Plailled « hat meant that the life insurance office with which this contract was made “bet 30 to 1” that should arrived safely. This friend S SwT better, and, if he sees to he has led Mr. Lacey b< L probably be " ” f bis rash statements. What the Board of Marine Underwriters in America will say when they learn thS surance n ° regular- practice of marine insuranee in New \ ork can be only a matter of conjecture.
