Hon. Colonial Secretary,

Forwarded.

78

I greatly sympathise with Mr. Willoughby, who,

as I am sure His Excellency the Officer Administering the

Government will agree, has done, and is doing, good work in

the "Stanley".

All his predecessors in the post were bachelors,

and all came to grief in one way or another (generally in one

only), and in each case the ultimate cause of such coming to

grief might be traced to the loneliness of the life, with no companionship than that to be obtained in hotel and other

bars, or in even more questionable resorts. It was in con- -sequence of this that I suggested the engagement of a

married man, three years ago, and the result has certainly

justified it.

It may be said that Mr. Willoughby is provided

with quarters on board the "Stanley". He is, for himself; but

it would never do for him to have his wife and family to live

permanently on board; so that he has to keep up two establish-

-mants.

Mr. Willoughby has been able to cut down the

expenses of the "Stanley" considerably, by economy of coal, and by his superior seamanlike qualities enabling him to get

water from this office, by coming alongside, instead of buying

it from waterboats, as his predecessors did.

I therefore strongly recommend that he be

permitted to receive his maximum rate of salary, as from the

date of the incidence of his first increment, on the 1st.

proximo.

13th. October, 1910.

(Sd.) B. R. K. Taylor,

Habbour Master.
