CLOSE OF AN EVENTFUL REASON. The navigation season of 1883 has virtual!y come to a close. In its introduction and the closing up thereof it has in many respects been an eventful one, the disasters numbering nearly as largo as any previously recorded. The instances of fires, which are the most terrible that can befall a vessel at sea, have fortunately been rare, while those of vessels foundering (springing aleak and going down with many lives) have been sad enough, and are precedented only in two former seasons—those of 18t>ti and 1S72, in the former of which years the lives thus lost were 445, and during the latter 120. The number of casualties during 1881J of a prominent nature were 918. The losses on hull I and cargo foot up $2,825,343. Outside that Bum the estimated losses of logs and timber ^ rafts are placed at $15,000, thus footing a grand total of $L>,84(),34.'>. The comparisons with the past seven years will be found carefully noted below. The Lime Kiln Crossing in Detroit River, which for several seasons was a terror to our lake shipping, has for the past two seasons shown up a large reduction in the matter of losses, resulting from the vast sums expended in improvement by I he removal of obstructions. The tonnage which has vacated daring the season just closed^ shows a passing out of 26 steam craft a~jd 64 of other kinds, with a valuation of $(147,400. The number ot disasters on Lake -tliuhigau were 522; on Lake "Superior and Sault River, 4 1; Lake Huron and Saginaw River, 111."; Detroit River, 24; Lake St. CJlair and River Thames, 11; Georgian Bay, 1 r>; Lake Erie and Welland Canal, 142; River St. Clair, 20, and Lake Ontario, including the St. Lawrence, 78. Lake Michigan, as will be scon, outrivals all others, having eontimuiliy twice the number of the other two lakes combined. Northeast gales cause more damage than elsewhere, besides which many of its harbors are more difficult of entrance. Northwest gales are alike destructive, and the results follow for like reasons.
