DECAY OF LONDON AS A
SEAPORT.
THE PASSING OF THE CRIMP.
That London has seen her best daya'as a seaport is a melancholy truism which is mada the more segrettable by the fact that Londooom seem indifferent to the port'e decline. A walk through the docks at Liverpool, Bristol, Shields, and Greenock, anys the St. James't try that are simply fools and soon come to Budget, gives much comfort to the seeing sys, grief-an they deserve. Now many pérons for not only are dockers and abippare busy, but aro, nevertheless, afraid to buy certain there are signs on every band that business advertised articles lost they be humburred man in these places are familiar with up-to-date and deluded ( especially are they slow to plass | mathods, London's docks and its Sailor-town confidence in published statements of the show no sign of alther one or the other. The docks hava a fistlusn air, and the sallon' quarter in strangely quiet. Most disquieting fact of all is that the crimp-the parasite who has fed upon sailors' genérosity and folly in the days when London was a great part-is removing to Liverpool, Antwerp, and Havce. Compared with Park Lane, Liverpool, Sailor- town has the quietness of a decayed cemetery.
greatest seaport has a richer supply of the gear loved of deep-water sailors-the Kay seige | suits, piak nocks, and square-toed, Derby-tied shoes for himself, and the gaudy bracelets and car-rings for the girl he loves,. One may see a procession of the seamen of the human race rolling along Park Lane-picturesquely dress- ed Lascara, Malaya, Grecks, Russians, Dutch, French, and English, with here and there a negro at black at Newcastle coal. These are the men with money 10 throw away--the men dear to the beat of the crimp.

I remember one crimp who lived ja one of the fas old Stepdzy mansiona which were the homes of the London eighteenth century mar. chants, and after some acquaintance with his history, I must express my surprise that he went down to his grave without a violent death. He was an Irishman named Williams—a spare man of middle height, with the calm, impassive face of a Chinaman. In the brisk time of London's trade with the East, when sailors drew any.. thing between sixty and one hundred and fifty pounds for 'two years' cruise, Williaina hed his halcyon days. He bad the choicest drinks, Tar's ideal of beauty, and the cleverest fiddler served by the prettiest girls according to Jack that one could have found in any sailors' port Co
of the world. Joe Beef, of Montreal, French Annie, of the same city, the Old Man by the Boca at Buenos Ayres have spread their fame
among sailors over the four quailers of the globe, but Williams had a renown peculiarly | his own. A man would enter his house on hour or so after being paid off from a two or thras yaara' trip. The next morning he would find himself lying in an alley off Ratcliffe High- way with but his shirt and breeches left him.

Williams regarded himself as a public bene factor. He claimed that he forced mea to work who otherwise would have loafed their way through life. "No man likes work," he said, philosophically, "sailors least of all, of foafers noon is so
dangerous as the sailor. The loafing sailor ashore usually finds his wa
| way to gaol. My manner with them may be a bit rough, but it saves them from the Old Bailey." The first great blow at the crimp in London and elsewhere was the opening of the Sailors' Hames. The one in Walls Street, London, E., will celebrate its birthday this year, and during its long history the home has been associated with every distingulabed sailor of ike British Navy and mercantile mar ne. Its gallery of portraits is as fine collection of old salts as one would wish to see. The Wells Street Gallors Home finds sailors ships, draw their wages for them, if necessary, and paya ft into a bank, so that the sharks who prey on poor Jack may be escaped, and gives him board and lodging at very moderate rates
The other blow that the London crimp racalvad-githough the affects were left every where--was the abolition of the comnship by the Plimsoll Une. This line is painted, on every ship according to the Board of Trade mgulations as to her carrying capacity, and no English ship that is overloaded can leaves British port
