COMPLAINTS REGARDING
ACCOMODATION.
The Blue Funnel s.s. PyrITUS arrived early this morning, bring- ing back six Hongkong man who have been on active service for varying periods. They are Messrs. Ewin. Jack, Meher, Hamilton, "Sky" Kerrison and Green. There are also about half a dozen Shang- hai men who will be transhipped for that part. Complaints with regard to lack of accommodation are made with regard to the Pyrrus as with other vessels bringing back demobilised men. No fanswere supplied, thefood was bad and had to be eaten off rusty tin plates, no table cloths were provided and altogether the ac- commodation was of the roughest kind imaginable. It is difficult to understand why the Government does not try to make these men, who have volunteered their services for their country a little more comfortable, even though it may have no further use for their services. Some of the men are far from being in good health and the least that could be done is that the voyage" back to the centres of their activities in civil life should be made as pleasant as possible and thus greatly aid a speedy return to health and strength.
