 garment is to be highly rcommended to all. in view of the liability 

 to being knocked or jumped overboard in very small, craft, which are 

 necessarily quick in their motions. The greatest danger, however, 

 is when clad in heavy oil skins, and a lining to the coat or jacket 

 about the chest would remove all danger in the unite possible event 

 of falling overboard. Life preservers are proverbially out of reach

 the horizontal binder should be twisted about the others or fastened 

 in some way without recourse to soddering. The lens, or globe,

 escape of heat and amok..- without any fear of extinguishing the light 

 by up and down drafts. Whale oil is out of question in these days,

 placed all others on first-class steamship lines, with the. approval of 

 the government and insurance companies. Tt cannot be bought at

 tral can and stow in a cockpit locker. Keep all lights in the same 

 place and do all the filling and trimming outside the cabin. Much 



objection is raised against the use of mineral oils, on account of their 

 strong odor, but, in cum . e , -i, horn good reason. We have
