Some months ago the Secretary of the Navy author- ;ized a general inspection of passenger craft plying in American waters and in Retired officers of the navy were requested to aid in this important work, and for the Paciflc Coast district Rear Admiral Louis Kempff, retired, was detailed to collect data that will be valuable in determin- ing what is best for passenger and shipowner. The investigation is by no means a sensational effort to place the blame for “lack of life-saving facilities,” says the admiral, but a businesslike inquiry for the betterment of the passenger service of steamshiping. The investi- gation so far as the port of San Fran-| cisco is concerned is nearly at an end, but there are of vessels in each to inspect. Kempff has inspected about eighty-five | vessels of all sizes in San Francisco harbor, including the ferry-boats that ply between this city and the east bay side. The inspection, generally speak. ing, has been very satisfactory, and the | only recommendation that the admiral | at present feels necessary to impress | | upon owners is that it would be well to | dhide the hulls of the boats into watertight compartments and to line ! certain parts of the vessels with sheet- {iron to protect them against possible | fire originating in the carelessness of crews. Admiral Kempff has instituted a| practical test of life-preservers used nn passenger steamers. At the Appraiser’s | building he has floated several pre- servers in a tank with upon the cork or tule “fillings.” Fire drills have been tried out with crews of bay and ocean vessels, and the hose used on shipboard has been subjected | to rigid examination. Admiral Kempff and the inspectors | of hulls and boilers think that the plan ! inaugurated will result in great beneiit | to the merchant marine service. in aill e inspection districts of the similar inspections have been cairicd cut by naval officers, who, like Admi Kempff, are thoroughly equipped ir natural intelligence and techrical) knowledge of the work they have un- dertaken, which will bring about ex- celient results.
