the premium of insurance on the property of others. No form of recompense for bodily injury sustained is demanded by the law and none has ever been paid.

When it is remembered that the least amount paid (in the case of vessels carrying four (4) guards) is $1200.00 per annum it is clear that this amount would easily cover any premium on the life and limb of any of the officers engaged in that vessel. It would thus be an assurance to these gentlemen that they were some real value, rather than (as appears to them at present) mere food for powder. Their present position is that not only have they their maritime duties to perform, but have in addition

(at the behest of people totally unacquainted with those duties) to bear the brunt of and all respossi- bility for a failure to carry out the regulations.

We have no knowledge of any other civilian calling in which the employe is called upon to offer his life in order to defend the property of others, and we are constrained by reason to think that, if it were so, an adequate recompense would be given for the sacrifice.

(6) That the absence of any form of enquiry into any of

the cases of piracy which have occurred since that of the "Sui An" in November 1922, has given rise to an intense feeling of insecurity, greatly aggravated by the attempt, in the "Draft Regulations" submitted to His Excellency the Governor, to intensify the personal risks of those immediately concerned by a body of gentlemen who at no time ever had or ever will have similar duties to perform.

(7) That as the offer of a reward for useful evidence

is the practice in connection with the detection of other forms of crime, it could be profitably adopted in cases of piracy.
