ALL ABOARD!
EVERY TRADE BOOMS WHEN SHIPS ARE BUILDING.
One of the most hopeful signs for a trade revival is the amount of new shipping ordered from Bri- tish yards. Reports from the Clyde are very optimistic, and one authority predicts that 1927 will prove a good second to the boom year of 1913.

Mr. Reyes attributed the recent incursions of Japanese into the north to the lack of adequate patrol of the coasts of the Islands.. Even the lighthouses and other aids to navigation are often neglected and inter-island shipping is consequently seriously handicapped. The delay in mails from distant places not visited by private guard service is also due to the lack of vessels to make regular trips to these remote points.

FOUR SAILBOATS SUNK.
Four sailing vessels were sunk in a typhoon last month in Pio Quinto bay, Camiguin Island, in the Babuyanes group, without loss of life. News of the disaster was received in telegrams to Manila from Henry Becker, an American living in Aparri, Caga yan. The boats, believed to be! pearl fishers, were manned by 54 men. The men have been taken to Aparri.
While it is true that "things are quiet"
