sent here for medical heatment when it is unobtainable at the Port of discharge,
do I object to the,

reception
of shipwrecked seamen when it is impossible to provide
for them in any
other way,
but I do object most strongly
to the almost in discriminate
discharge of men
Consuls on
by the
the condition of
their leaving the Ports at
which they
are
discharged
for the invariable destination
of such men is Hong Kong
and in b
the
many
instances
y
system has been encouraged by the Consular Authorities paying steam boat passages out of the
146
mans wages, thereby placing
it almost beyond a doubt
they that will either land here
destitube or become so
after their arrival.
