“If your vessel is frequently in danger of foundering in the midst of a calm, if by the smallest addition of sail she is near oversetting, let the gale be ever so steady, you would neither reproach the crew nor accuse the pilot or the master; you would look to the construction of the vessel and see how she had been originally framed and whether any new works had been added to her that retard or endanger her course.”— Commercial Restraints.
PRINTED BY M. H. GILL AND SON, 50 UPPER SACKVILLE-ST., DUBLIN.
