MARINERS DISPLEASED. Last evening says the Kingston News, a number of mariners discussed the merits of Masters’ and Mates’ Act which they claim contains several serious — imperfections. Among the objections noted are the fol- lowing. ‘The clauses are mentioned also: Clause 2. Examination may be instituted in Canada for persons having been domiciled in Canada for at least three years, ete., etc. This should read “Canadians by birth or naturalization,” asa great many’ mariners make their komes in Canada, but sail Ameri- oan craft. Wages are higher in the United States, but living is cheaper in Carada, and under this clause these men can step in and take charge ofa Canadian craft, and yet they are not Canadians. Clauses 6, After the 1 of January, 1884, no suiling vessel of over 100 tons register tonnage, nor any passenger steamer, shall proceed on any voyage without a certified master, etc., etc. Freight steamers or steambarges of any tonnage are exempt, and yet no mariner will affirm that it requires more judgment to sail the schooner ‘‘Acacia” than is re- quived to sail the “D. D. Calvin’? (Calvin & on’s new barge.) And yet the schooner ‘Acacia’ must carry a certified master, and this large steambarge is exempted. Clause 7 would lead people tq believe that steam tugs or other steamers of a certain tonnage would require to be commanded by a certified master, and yet mariners fail to see anything in the act that will compel vessels of these classes, of any tonnage whatever, to be commanded by. qualified masters. The result may be, that if one of our large mail-line steamers, bound up the lake with a full load of. passengers should meet a large freight steamer bound down, and through the carelersness or ignorance of the captain of the freight steamer there is a collision, many valuable lives on board the passenger steamer might be lost. The passenger steamer is generally the weaker vessel of the two. The above objections are stated by an ex- erieneed mariner, and one who claims to ave studied the act in question thoroughly. He says that if it is not amended, sooner or later, a result will prove his statements to be correct. _.“Perhaps the most judiciously edited mag- azine in the World.’?—TuE National, N. Y. Sept. 1882.
