Peste,) endorsed by the General Committee, and forwarded to the Government, who replied ab some length to the effect that it would place the Harbour Master in an entirely false position if he had to give certificates for qualification which auch Officer cannot tost. The Committee, in a further report, replied that at Home and Asistio ports this was satisfactorily managed, and that, if necessary, the Licensing Board need not be entirely. composed of Government Officiala but might be supplemented by outside exports.
It was also pointed out that, whilst there was a demand for pilotage in the Harbour, the Committee were against the institution of compulsory pilotage, also that the gran- ting or refusing to grant a certificate as suggested by the Government could not be 107 acted on by private individuals without pecuniary responsibility, to which the Go- vernment would not be liable. Much to my committee's regret, although the chief shipping Firms and A
ad Agencies in the port wero in favour of the proposal, the Ge- vernment finally notified this Chamber on the 30th of January last that His Excel- lency Sir Henry Blake was unable to sup- port the scheme.

nothing was noticed indicating that a wreck
was submerged: The two salvage junks may have had a red flag up, but in the calm prevailing this was not noticeable. More. over, the two buoys wore coloured a rusty rod and were indistinguishable from the ordinary fairway buoy. It may here be remarked that the following day steps were taken to paint the wrecking buoys green, with Wreck' in unmistakeable white
letters,
?
Further, on account of the slack state of the tile, steamers were lying at their buoys in all directions, it was undoubtedly dif* ficult to define the fairways or to find a suitable place to anchor. The Pilot even- tually fixed on a space, but his knowledge afterwards proved to be at faul:, as the steamer had eventually to move her ground to prevent fouling neighbouring vessels, On the 28th ultimo, before the Harbour Master. the Captain was fined $50-for negligent navigation in the harbour, and ordered to make good any damage done hy his vessel fouling the wreck buoy over the remains of the 'Pakshan.' Had the buoys been properly marked the Captain and Chief Officer would undoubtedly have kept clear of the wreck and taken the ship out of the pilot's hands in time to prevent the mishap, but the pilot directed the ship between the buoys, thus proving by his want of local knowledge that he was incapable of acting as such and, in addition, as shewn above, he was unable to find a suitable anchorage,
It will be apparent to His Excelleney that Masters of Steamers coming into this increasingly crowded Harbour must rely to a great extent on the advice of a local pilot, otherwise they would not employ these men. It is therefore very hard on the masters not to be allowed to bring the pilot up before the Harbor Master for punishment, or at any rate to give evidenco as to the facts in the case of an accident, and it does not alter the fact that here in Wongkong, with an amount of shipping exceeded by only two ports in the world, we have uncertified pilots placed in charge of shipping.
The Chamber hopes thut His Excellency the Officer Administering the Govern ment may see his way to consent to the licensing of all pilots plying for hire within the limits of the port, and thus rid it of a danger which tenaces its shipping.
As has been pointed out in the past, many Commanders are obliged, on arrival
at the entrance of the harbour, to take the
first man as pilot who boards his ship, without having any means of knowing whe-
ther he is capable of handling the vessel Cortain Commanders, as properly
or not.
the Commander of the Tjipanas," learn too late of the utter incompetence of the men they have employed. This is not possible at Penang or Singapore; why then at Hongkong? Hongkong has an un- enviable record as the only British Port either at Home or in the Colonies where anlicensed pilots are allowed to ply for hire.
The Acting Colonial Secretary replied un the 19th of Decembar 1903 as follows:- *I am directed to acknowledge receipt of your lefter of the 14th instant regarding the question of the licensing of pilots, and to inform you that the matter is now recei ving the attention of the Govorniment.'
A careless gossip: Miss Kidder-They've only been married six months, but when- over her husbatid goes away on a business trip sho's delighted and prepares to have a good time. Miss Meanley-Ah! Do you know I suspected something like that. I always said Miss Kidder-'Yes, You see, he takes her with him.'

OLD HONGKONG, To the Editor of the CHINA MAIL..
HONGKONG, January 26, SIR-A an old resident, I should have liked to read a full report of Mr R. K. Leigh's reminiscences at Saturday's dinner of the Civil Engineers. It seems to me that he must have been misreported when he said that in the early eighties Queen's Road ran along the shores of the Harbour and was washed by the waves thereof on the one hand and bordered on the other by

matter of regret to your Directors that the result of the past year's worki g falls far short of its immediate predecessors, The chief deficiency is in the profit derived from sales of property, which amounts to only $86,000 as compared with 8392,000 the previous year, and 8275,000 in 1901. Tight money, the uncertainty as regards Ix. changu, doubts as to the effect of local legis- lation, and more recently fears engendered by the political outlook, have all tended to inactivity in the demand for property.
