The National Marine Engineer a' asso

"The members of the association have
had a complaint . for some time past
gainst the loosertiaphaxard" manner In
which gasoline launchee are allowed to

larger vessels. - They . should also be
compelled to carry life preservers and
all other equipment calculated te be of
