CHAPLAIN.
SOME PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
The Rev. G. T. Waldegrave, the experiençcil (chaplain and secretary of the Seamen's Institute, has sent us the setter printed below giving the results of his own observations of sundry serious social evils connected with the Port, and suggests how they may be amaliorated.
The Royal Arrow case in which one man lost his life in a drunken brawl among shipmates, probably at ordinary times perfectly good friends, who, had been maddened by spirit bought from sampan vendors has focussed popular attention on the whole problem.

that is no guarantee that the advice given is taken.
The Types...
In dealing with the conditions in this Port, it is first necessary to have some idea of the type of shipping frequenting it. The an- noal Harbour Office Report gives this in detail, but here it may be sufficient roughly to sum it up as follows:-
(a) Native ailing craft: (b) River steamers.. (c) Coast shipping.
(d) Ocean going shipping. Class (e) does not concern is in connection with the subject under discussion.

Destitution Warning. As regards destitution I should like to back up warmly the appeal of the Hon. Mr. E. D. C. Wolfe to those who would give charity to strangers begging for assistance, to refer such to the General Charities Organisation Authorities. Many of these men asking for assistance are well-known to us ail, and are really unemployable. They have all had and lost jobe many times, and have all round.
