LIFEBBOATS NOT SUFFICIENT. Sir A. Conan Doyle's Suggestion for New Rind of Vessel. Boats have again and again proved their co'm,.paraeive inutiliby in the case of great sea disasters. They ars difficult to lower with celerity, are easily stove in against the sides of 'the vessel when lower- ed, cannot live in •e, heavy sea, and are usually inadequate to hold the number of persons seelng their refugee SirArthur Conan Doyle's sugges- Lion, made shortly after the Titanic disaster, seems to offer the most reasonable suggestion yet put for- ward for saving the life of passen- gers at sea. Though pooh-p:oohed by many it found several ,adherents among eminent engineers. Briefly the idea was that the whole of the upper works of the shiip, including upper deck, boat deck and hurri- cane deck should fit loosely into the haul of the vessel, in the same way that a tray fits into a trunk. This upper part of the vessel wound be furnished with numerous air cham- bers, and if the main hull of the vessel were to sink would remain on the surface as an independent unit fully capable of 'holding the entire shop's complement of passem gees and crew, C.areying the idea further, this upper portion could be furnished with a small auxiliary engine sufficiently powerful to pro- peld the vessel either to the nearest port or into the main shipping tracks. That such a device would have saved A, vast number of pre- cious lives if fatted to the Empress of Ireland is undoubted. It is ueldom that the upper works of a. vessel are materially injured in a collision, and even if the collision were to cause jamming between this upper pertain and the main hull, yet the terrific pull of the sink- ing hull•and the contra pull of the floating upperworks would proba- bly free the two et the actual mo• hent of sinking.
