Steam This Ajpx", against them Authorities here for sending on bond six invalin Seamen, for a herhenge home without proper provision being at hand for their treatment

I enclose the accompanying tatements from those officer of T the Government who

were connecte

with the arrangements, which will I think amply justify the course

adifted.

I would submit that without

our

breaking with inhumanity, the men in question could not have been fairly deprived of the chance of life afforded them by being sent

destitute sick seamen

395

home in the "Ajay" Fill, Iventure,

to suggest

as

matter for consideration

that ber Shajeshing Government might, in parallel enser, allow Masters of This's conveying invalidn

to England

some special remuneration

for the additional trouble and exffense caused by the Sligation to like them as passengers. It is not impossible to meet that expense and trouble by fair

some

great

remuneration, but I hold that it is impossible without injustice and inhumanity to meet it by a Strle forbidding Seamen in the condition of those sent by the Ajax to be in future
