Not much onger than a year abo two smaii steamers foun- dered in these waters with serious loss of life—the Sechelt, sail- ing from Victoria to a south coast point, and t lroquois, which was putting out from Sidney on her trip through the island to Nanaimo. It became evident at that time that sufficient care was not being taken by the authorities to see that the smaller vessels employed in coast traffic were properly equipped in view of the human lives frequently entrusted to them, but, so far as we are aware, no steps of any importance were taken to remedy mat- ters. As is too often the case, the subject was publiciy diseussed for a time and then dropped. The “Titanic” disaster, however, has brought the question of public safety on the waters sharply into prominence again, and in view of what happened in the case of a first class Atlantic liner, a vessel on board which the passengers probably thought} themselves safer than in eny land conveyance, it is not too much to ask that a thorough overhauling of every steamer licensed to carry in British Coumbia waters be undertaken forthwith. As our senior morning contemporary reminds us, the excur- passengers sion season is beginning, and it is not by any means certain—in fact, it is very doubtful indeed—that in the event of a crowded steamer being found to be in a sinking condition, sufficient boats and rafts would be available to accommodate the entire company aboard. That sufficient seamen to handle them could be told off is extremely improbable, save in some very few cases. A cognate matter demanding immediate action is the prom- ulgation of regulations governing this and other harbors. The other day the masters of small craft entered a complaint that larger vessels ignored the rules governing vessels passing in and out of First Narrows by failing to respond to signals. In the absenee of regulations having legal force, there is no way, it appears, of compelling attention to what is apparently a volun- honored in the breach as in the observance. Jurisdiction it waters with authorities at Ottawa in the first What is required is that they not only lay down stringent regulations, but also see to it that an for their enforcenrent.— tary code, as much the rests these instance. organized adequate inspectorate Is Vancouver ‘World.
