The cross-section of a boat tising the
Suez Canal is roughly IJ -shaped, where
es 'an Atlantic liner's, section 'is V

tateot by the limitation whieb the
depth of the canal imposes on ships

But even if the liners were of sine.

sailing to Australia and India could
compete to speed over- a given mile-

the colder water of the Atlantic is a'

The • Story of the Lifeboat.
A Frenchman named M, Bernieres
made the world's first lifeboat in 1765.
It was built with air boxes' at bow' sued
stern and proved its ability to keep
afloat when Oiled with Water to the
gunwales. =
Twenty yearslatei, says a writer in
the Mentor, Lionel Luken, an English
coach: builder, invented his famous
lifeboat Thie was modeled on the'
Norway yawl which- Is a descendant
of the old viking boats and has their
seaworthy build._ To this type.Lukia
added 'air -tight boxes, making her still
more buoyant by a belt of cork along
the gunwales.
But the British. government showed
ledifference toward Lukin's patent. It
was the wreck of the Adventure; in
1789; that shocked the. British into ac-
tion, Not°that it was any worse than
many, other wrecks that were occur-
ring at1 the time, but it took plane so
close to,.the shore that orowde.of peo-
ple could look on. They could see the
agonies of the, exhausted sailors es,

frozen rigging into the thundering
