The Government has accordingly notified the Union Castle Company that unless its offer is immediately withdrawn, it will have to consider giving 12 months' notice to ter- minate the mail contract.
Further, in order to protect ship- pors who decline to acquiesce in the "coercive demand" of the Union- Castle Company, action will be taken under Clause 6 of the Ship- ping Combinations Discouragement Act of 1911 which would empower the Government to differentiate in respect of, harbour charges on pro- duce shipped in vessels belonging to the Conference Lines.
The exact method of differentia tion has not yet been decided, but it will probably take the form of imposing on all prodore shipped | under the 15 per cent, discount scheme a surcharge at least equal to the amount of the discount at lowed on

According to William Oldham, an able seaman, who saw the ac cident, the bo'sun. Otto Rebhen, and two seamen, James Boykin
and Eric Carlson, were busy plug- ging ventilators to stop the water getting to the grain cargo when a huge wave crashed over the
site. The bo'sun clung to a piece of timber, but although efforts were made to rescue him, the seas were so high that a bont could not be launched, and his comrades saw him washed off the timber.
