LOG TELLS STORY
The Superintendent of the Chels- tinn Mission to Chinese Seamen writes:
Since the Government in Grent Britain took over control of shipping in Feburary last, many of the vessels have not been able to continue the regular services to Hongkong. The men were not aware of this and did
not leave half-pay to maintain their familles before they sailed, and have no way to send money back home, and some of their ships have been torpedoed. On account of this there are many seamen's families with young children in great distress, having to struggle hard for their daily necessities.
