Mr W. M. Brown appeared for complainant, Captain Lionel Meltae, master of the ship, and said Frain signed articles as Second Engineer on November 19 for a period of six months. The ship returned from Shanghai on December 15, and orders were handed to the Chief Engineer for the ship to have steam up to procced to sen at 11 am, on December hand- 18. These written orders were hand ed to Frain by the Chlef Engineer.
On December 17, Frain accom- panied by Capt Meftae, went ashore to the Indo-China Steam Navigation Offices, where there was question at Frain signing off. It was eventually decided that Frain was to continue on the ship's articles until the end of six months and Frain was informed of this by Mr Lawson, the Marine Superintendent, that day. Frain was later seen having dinner on board the ship that evening, and that was the last time he was seen on board, At about 10.50 am, on December 10, Capt Mcitne boarded the ship, and was told by the Chief Engineer that Frain was not on board. The ship waited until 11.02 am. for Frain to appear and sailed with a supplemen fary engineer on board. Frain's gear was sent ashore in the agent's launch. Captain's Evidence

COST OF
LIVING IN
MOSCOW JUMPS UP
In Moscow during the past year the cost of living has risen over 80 per cent. Wages are being squeezed by a tightening up of piece-rates and by a general cancella- tion of ways and means of earning money on the side, writes a correspondent.
Moreover, under a return to the eight-hour day (a 10-hour day is rumoured for the new year) and the two-shift system, great numbers of lower-grade workers are being turned off.

Good Harvest
The Russian harvest-the best since 1937-amounts to aboul 00,000,- (000 tons, as against 75,000,000 last
year.
In a Europe where most harvests have been poor this is an important. fact, because the Soviet will certainly make a great effort to supply her powerful neighbour Germany, having no excuse not to do so. Rail trans- port, as inadequate as ever, will, however, limit this supply..
