The Two-Watch Plan.
There is a strong objection
in London at the present time on the part of mates and second mates to engage on stasmarE FUN- ning on the two-watch systean, says the Shipping Gazette. They urge, perhaps not unreasonably, that with things 38 they · am, owing to the war, three officers ought to be carried on all steamers. Owners who persist in adhering to the two-watch plan find no little difficulty in securing man. In some cases ownSIS, WO understand, have suggested that the diffealty can be overcome by promoting an apprentice to act BE third mate. From the officer a not meet the case. When it is point of view, however, this does necessary, thanks to the war, for a very keen look-out to be kept, it means trying time for the officer of the watch, and the employment of a promoted ap prentice, without a certificate, is not a full solation of the difficulty. Some companies which at one time only carried two mates now willingly employ three. In fact, there are few who carry less than three-and it is there few which find trouble in securing officers

An increase in the number Italian, Greek and Dutch-vesel trading to the port is noticeable. states that the port of Suez is not an ideal one for dealing with a rush of shipping, such as that occasioned by the transporting of troops. There is insufficient room in the basics, and insuffi cient depth of water. Large vessels being unable to center, operations have to be carried on outside, and coating or cargo operations are often almost in- possible in the winter, as the roads are only very alightly shel- tered.
