Tt First Atlantic Steamer,
It has lonj Ken a mooted question as to
w hich w as the first rssel tl at cross. l thu
Atlantic ocian with steam as a motor. In
1833 tho llritiah steamships Sirus and Clreat
Western Hindu tho passage from Kuglish ports
tu Nuw York, and authorities ou steam navi
gation have credited them with boim: tlio ear
liut to cros thooce.ui propelled by steam,
ltefore that, however, orin 1S1D, tho Savan
uah, a small bug with mi auxiliary engine,
crossed the Atlantic from Savannah to Kng
land and back) but this vessel only used steam
when there was no wind. Hut Canada now
puts iu tho ihini of having constructed the
tirst steamship that crosd the ocean solely
by tho use of sttam, namely, tho steamship
Koal William, built in Qutbeo in 1831, and
fitted atMoutrval, hav iu I em in the ri er, culf
and coast trade two ) errs, was sold in 1833 to
parties w ho took her to Kurope iu August of
that ear, she having madu tliu voyago out
from Quetieo iu sixteen day. SuUequeutly
alio was sold to Portugal, and finally to the
Spanish Gov crmucut, when ah became the
hrst war steamship of that nation. She was
a staunch esstl of nearly fourteen hundrtxl
tons, and her tint cost waa sixteen thousand
pounds. This was nearly a total loss to her
original ow uers, as she was sold out oi their
nosaessiou by a sheritt It ia said that she end
ed he carver as a sailing vessels.
The American Clipper Ship Unsurpassed.
Clipper ships, whoso fame stood so high
twenty years ago, nro now well nigh forgotten.
Yet In the investigation of tho loss of the
Hnglish training ship Atnlanta, n certain
amount of attention having been ilintted o
tho relative merits of tho finer sailing vessel
of the Royal Navy mid thoso of tho mercantile
marine, evidence before tho committee de
veloped tho fntts tlint theao ilippirs were not
only safe ships and good sea boatx, but that
they were nlo positively tho swiftest irnft
tlint hnv overjethcen product.!, mid tlint
not even tho fast passenger ship built of late
years for leading shipping companies havu
been ablo to surpass their bust performances.
Tho celebrated Red Jacket on her passage
from Liverpool to Melbourne, ran L',07i! nau
tical miles in eight days mi nvorngo of 334
per dny, which Is srrcnlir than that of tho
steamers of 111010 than 0110 Trans-Atlantic
company. In 1877 a steamship of tho White
Star Lino logged l!l land miloi per hour j in
18."i4 tho Ltvcipool clipH.r Jaiiirs llaincs
logged 21 11 ititical-nbout 24 land-mites In tho
same timo. Thu (lermanio steamer iu 24
hours 410 nautical mill ; tho Jame Haines in
tho same period sailed 120. Tlio latter mn
ha apparently never liccn surpassed by any
steamer on an ocean passagu. We limf,
fuither, on consulting the New Y01 k Clippt r's
record, that thu Sovereign of the Sea., on a
voyago from Honolulu ran 4'tO miles in 24
hours and Hindu tho kxtrnordinary mil of
0,2 ir miles iu 22 days t and thu Filing Scud on
tlio voj ago Iroin Now York toMclwninio is Nild

With tlm exception of tho James Haines these

With regartl to the monsoons, it is found
that they are far from being as regular a i
generally supposed. Tho northern monsoon
ha a very marked predominance over tho
southern, both as to direction and to force.
From thu beginning of September tho former
is engaged in o struggle with tho latter, and
hardly cease to predominate until tho cud of

quite overcome, during tho courso of Octolier,
only begins to mnko its approach felt in tho

Turnabout and Namoa. 'Iho SW monsoon
otih prevails during thu three months, June,
July and August, iu inodcruto breezes, with
out, however, displacing tho Nil, which also
blows in liuht bnc7e, becoming gradually
lighter.
Iu tho Eastern sea, tho wind I-, at all sea
sons, much more variable in Winter tho pre

uud from N to NW in thu north ; mid it blows
with a steady forte, although less than tint

direction is turned townrd tho China coast,

and iu Autumn tho NK predominates every

alio much less constancy than In tho l'ormom
Channel. During Winter tho pi 01 ultnt dii t c

blows with violence from this latter point;
but it is nlso particularly subject to variations,

Merchant Ship Load Line.
American bhlp.
The Kuglish Hoard of Tmdo has had not n
little troublo in its efforts to tstablish a load
line ou the merchant ships of Great llrit-iii.
Tho lines or limits that havo now been find
give great dissatisfaction to ship owners, who
aiseit that tlioy are determined by theoretical
standards, mid arc, in reality, of very little
service, except in hampering tho profitable
employment of vtiaels. If current reports
to bo trusted the majority of Kuglish ship master
pay are not the least attention to these legal re
quirement. They load their vessel very
much as they did before tho law- was ennctc.1,
nnd thus to the foreo of public, opinion, which
is strougly pronounced against tho law, to
savo them from Governmental interference.
As a safeguard to sailors, for this was what
the measure w a intended to be, it is practically
nugatory. Realizing tl is, tho authorities of
tho Roan! if Trade have now advanced a new
plan, which will lie proposed before the ad
journment of Parliament. Tho new method is
to appointa commission consisting of scientific
txperts and ship owner, who shall decide, in t
byuny rigid standard, but by a survey of
each vosmI. thu character of her construction,
and the nature of her ordinary voyagts, where
thu load hue shall bo placed. Thi having
bom ilcttrmiiitd, ami deviation in the way of
oxcissivu loading will be iited with heavy
penalties. This is uo doubt a fairer 'system
than the one now In nej but tho British ship
merchant hav e Uen so loiii acemtomod to
complete frudoiu of action in the niauagi
meut of tlieit vctl tl at tlioy cannot bnng
themsilvta to helicvo in the necessity of any
olhcial supervision. As a practical comment
ary on tho foregoing we may notice that in tho
matter of tho loss of the llritish steamship
Drumdutr, the Naval Court of Inquiry, which
has Uui in session at the otrico of the llritish
Consul nt this port for several days, the decis
ion of tho Court is that the stunner was over
loaded, a verdict which will result in tho re
fusal on the part of the inauranco companies
to pay foriither tho vessel or its cargo.
