It would doubtless be very desirable to give Consuls power to compel captains visiting the ports at which they are stationed to provide themselves where possible (for It is not "always": possible to do so) with properly certificated officers; but at present they have not got that power, and all they can do is what they always do-call the attention of the Insurance offices to the matter, and bring pressure to bear in that
