The revenue cutter Andy Johnson, Captain Davis, the hero of the Mamtous, arrived at Chicago yesterday, and remains here a day or to. Since the daring exploits of the Johnson at the ill foot of the lake during the fearful gales she is conceded by every one to be the guardian angel of the marine on Lake Michigan, and every vessel I master and sailor has a good word to say for Captain Davis. When it is known that the Johnson's boilers are positively unsafe, and that her machinery is old and weak, people can understand the chances she took in battling with the elements and achieving the success she did. It may possibly dawn upou the mind of the chief of the revenue marine some day that the Johnson should have new machinery and boilers. He may also be induced (he ought to be forced) to have life-saving apparatus on board this steamer, mortar and all, so that when an opportunity offers itself they could be used, or landed for others to use. The Johnson is always around when there are disasters, and she certainlv ousrht to have aj full equipment of life-saving apparatus.

REGULATING MARINE INSURANCE. The reform which Mr. Chamberlain, President of the English Board of Trade, -will soon propose in the law regulating marine insurance is well calculated to effect an annual saving of h undreds of lives and ships at sea. Hifi plan, as given in the Herald cable dis- of the 4th inst, is to embody in his x new bill the principle that marine insurance should never be a source of profit to the shipowner. The necessity for this reform has be-sn strikingly emphasized by the British wreck statistics of last year. From 1877 to * 1*81 the average number of ships lost was •aid of lives lost was 1,531 per'annum. Vtlaat year's record shows a loss of 518 . strips and2,8S;> lives by causes other than stranding or collision, and there were sixty-five cases of missing and foundered vessels. Without supposing that any ship-owner ' would wantonly plan or connive at the loss of his ship by sending her to sea in an unsafe condition for the sake of reaping the profits of overinsuranee, it is certain that when ships are overinsured less care will be taken in preparing them for the dangers they must meet.* It has been suggested that the enormous increase of wrecks in 1881-82 was t duo to , an unusual multiplicity of ocean storms and hurricanes. But this is a bare assumption. The great British gale of Oct. 14, 18S1, was exceedingly disastrous. Nevertheless the statistics show that the total wrecks in,1881-82 (collisions and miss-in g vessels being excluded) attributable to /'causes connected with the weather," were fewer than those due to similar causes in 1880-81, while the number was higher than the average for six years. That more insured than uninsured vessels are lost is beyond a doubt. In a paper read not long ago before the Society of Arts, Professor Rogers stated that about seven out of ten wrecks occur from preventable causes. The London Nautical Magazme, commenting on. this statement, adds that in 1S6S there were in the Baltic 220 uninsured Swedish steamers, and in 1857 there were 215 British steamers insured, and of these 3 Swedish and 17 British steamers were lost, while from 1857 to 1867 the ratio was 10 British to 3 Swedish. It is to be hoped that Mr. erlain's plan may prove the basis of an international arrangement, which could not fail to reduce the large yearly list of ma-rine losses.--New York Herald. j.x«3 Duiiaiv uiwjw/wi i ra« Bays; xnn iw„ ,. sections of the steamer Athabasca which ax-j \ rived here Saturday morning were towed to j the lower dry-dock of the Union Dry-dock^ Company yesterday, where they will be joined \ together in a complete hull. This steamer, as before stated, was built for the Canadian Pacific Eailroad, by Clyde ship-builders, and is to run between Collingwood and Port Arthur in connection with the road for the conveyance of freight and passengers. Four other | j steamers- of the same -size and model will run over the route. Three of these were completed in the summer, and the other two are in course of construction. The Athabasca was built at Whiteinch,' oh the Clyde River, three miles from Glasgow, Scotland, by Aitken & MffiSSelt She ts built of steel throughout, and like all ocean steamers she is solid to the rail. She left Glasgow the latter part of August for Montreal, and arrived at that port after a rather tedious and stormy: passage of twenty -one duyn. I;, was naces-i cut the huij in two in order to take it through the the sin* i of the Lower vredfce. As t-jui was built with this object in view, the work was readily accom-J picked* XUe sections were 1'lauud ounoa. toons and their passage through these canals was safely done. Arriving at the foot of Lake Ontario the pontoons were removed, and the parts rested on their own bottoms, arriving here via the Welland Canal. The Athabasca, like those to follow her, is 270 feet long and 38 feet beam. She is of steel throughout; even her upper deck is lined with it, and she has five water-tight compartments. Of our own in iron boats she is, perhaps, most like the ! ' Jewett, being much cut away and calculated for speed. It is claimed that she has run ten miles an hour with thirty-four pounds of steam, when she can carry 122 pounds. Her high pressure cylinder is seventy-three inches, and her low pressure cylinder thirty-four inches with four feet stroke. The boilers and engines alone weigh 220 tonR. One peculiar feature is the wheel, which [j] is in sections, each blade bolting to the shaft separately. She has six heavy life-boats of finest build on board. There are two spars, also of steel, provided with cross-trees that can be put in position by fitting a groove in them to a ridge running up the "mast and hoisting to place. The last two vessels of the line are not to be sent across from Scotland until spring1. The Athabasca will be fitted up for passengers. Her cabin work is now in sections and pieces in Montreal, and will be shipped to the port where she will lie during . the winter. It is expected that the two seditions of her hull will be joined in about two Iweeks. The other steamers, the Algoma pud Alberta, are now on the way to Buffalo, bne being in the Welland Canal and the other B.t Kingston. A number of Scotch seamen " ;ame here with the steamer.

The lighthouse board has adopted a uniform for the employes of the lighthouse establishment, which the latter will be compelled to wear in the future. The uniform for male keepers and assistant keepers of light stations, and masters, mates, engineers, and assistant engineers of light vessels and tenders will be precisely the same for each. The color of the uniform" is indigo blue. Informticn has been received from reliable sources that the schooner Wabash, lost on Pictured Rocks, Lake Superior, and abandoned to the underwriters, had been sold by them for a small sum—only a few hundred dollars. This was to parties residing in Marquette, and is as she lies on the rocks, the purchasers themselves taking ail the chances of getting her off and making anything out of her. It is understood that the insurance on her, amounting to $10,-000, will soon be paid. Captain Maytham has taken the contract for releasing the schooner H. F. Merry, ashore at Silver Creek. The price paid is half the vessel when off. Work has already been begun on her release, but yesterday's storm drove the wrecking expedition away. If a short time of good weather is had she'will be got off easily, but she is in danger of going to pieces if the storm continues. Only about) 6,000 bushels of her 16,100 bushels of wheat remain in her hold. What has been taken off and dried is in quite good condition.—Buffalo \ L rpresQ. Daniel Finlayson, mate of the propeller St. Paul, the man "who was injured on Saturday by inhaling the fumes which arose from the acid that was spilled in the hold, died yesterday morning at the Marine Hospital. On Monday it was stated that he was recovering, and would be out soon, and up to a low min- i utes before his death he seemed to be doing ; well, but the acid had eaten away parts of j his lungs, which made it impossible for him to live, and death came to him suddenly. \ Few men are better known on the lakes than Mr. Finlayson, and by all his acquaintances he was looked upon as an honest, hard-work- j ing, and competent sailor, and one who was at all times willing to risk his life in the discharge of his duty, as he did on Saturday. He was a wheelsman on the ill-fated steamer ' Morning Star when she went down on Lake Brie, and has ever since been lame, as a result of injuries and exposure received before being rescued. Mr. Finlayson sailed for a number of years on the propellers Peerless and R. J. Whiting, on the Chicago and Duluth route, and came out as mate of the new steamer Walter L. Frost last spring. He was over 40 years of age and single. His brother Kenneth is mate of the steamer City of Mack- I inac.—Detroit Fost. WHERE THE FLEETS ABE. BUFFALO. legram to The Ijater Ocean. ;.o, N.

The certificate the Colorado carried, guaranteeing that her boilers were safe, was signed by the inspector, who testifies that for the boilers to explode the safety-valve must have been tampered with. The safety-valve may hare been tampered, with and it may not. The testimony of that inspector (being in defense of himself, as it is) should not be admitted. The whole system of steamboat inspectors "investigating" themselves is a farce. They are certainly not going to find themselves guilty. In the case of the Colorado, the poor, dead victims of the explosion are found guilty and blamed for the disaster. FROZEN IN. A FLEET CAUGHT ON LAKE BUPERIOB. IMvate dispatches received in Chicago yesterday, bring inform* tion that will prove most discouraging to the owners of vessels and cargoes bound down from Lake Superior, of which there are a large number.

In all there are from thirty-five to forty-five sail vessels and steamers which are thus locked up on Lake Superior, and cannot get through.
