VII.-NUMBER OF TIMES A DERELICT IS REPORTED.

In the period from 1887 to 1893, inclusive, this office received 1,944 reports of 482 derelicts, which shows that these derelicts were reported on an average of about four times.

X.--COLLISIONS WITH WRECKS AND DERELICTS.*

These collisions have taken place in the North Atlantic during the past seven years. All those that have occurred within bays, harbours, or other waters tributary to the Atlantic have been omitted from this table. They are grouped under four heads, according to the amount of damage suffered. It will thus be seen that out of a total of 45 collisions, 9, or nearly one-fourth, resulted in sinking the vessel; while 17 vessels, or more than one-third, were considerably damaged.

The number of fatal collisions would doubtless prove to be larger if details could be had of the fate of the steamer Naronic, and other vessels reported missing and never heard from. But the list is large enough, as it stands, to prove the dangerous nature of derelict vessels and the urgent need of their prompt removal.
