The recent wreek of the Surprise upon a rook unhappily discovered by the previous loss of the Faiyo Maru upon it, suggests enquiry as to the reason why some steps are not taken by underwriters, Lloyds Agents, the Board of Consuls, the Chamber of Com merce, or other bodies either possessing official power or interested in shipping, for the formation of a properly constituted Board of pilots for this Bay, which has acquired so unenviable a notoriety with Marine Insurance Companies, Surely at a season like the present, when so many quali- fed shipmasters, thoroughly familiar with the Bay and Inland Sea, are out of employ ment, prompt steps might be taken to afford them an opportunity of gaining a livelihood by pilotage, and to hinder further loss of life and property arising from avoidable causes, but risked through the unskilfullness of men some of whom apparently possess neither special coast experience, the requisite skill in handling a ship, nor any other qualification than that of sheer audacity who, professing to be "Established Pilots" of the place, undertake most responsible duties, trusting to luck for results, which are not always satisfactory. We would suggest this subject to the Committee of the Chamber of Commerce as one worthy of decisive remedy before further disaster shall have forced it still more strongly upon public attention. Palpably a duly certifi cated master mariner of ascertained ability, and holding an annual license from a Pilot- age Board, would be preferable in charge of incoming or outgoing craft to self-ordained professors, of whose merits there is no standard by which new comers to the port can judge.

In regard to the many acts of piracy in the Obins waters, the Imperial Government. has decided that the two corvettes Hertha, 28, and Ariadne, 6, are not to return to Europe, but will remain in China.
