FINISH SHIPPING.

SERVICE TO CHINA, SOUTH AFRICA AND AUSTRALIA.

THE CHINA MAIL.

The national shipping of Finland at present is in the same position as that; of Sweden at the close of the last century. The Finnish flag, which during the sailing ship period often appeared in American, East Indian and other Eastern waters, is now very seldom seen there. Apart from about fifty steamers and sailers in the tramp service and the five steamers which belong to the Finland-South Amer- ican Line which was started last year, the country has no ships which could be placed in the liner service in waters outside Europe.

The above statement le made by the Helsingfors correspondent of "Goteborgs Handels och Sjofart- stidning," who says that what the

its country- needs for

growing trade outside Europe is assistance from abroad. It is calculated that Finnish exporters and importers pay annually to foreign shipowners a sum of 800,000,000 Finnish marks In the form of freight. But in Finland there is not to be found alther capital or enterprise to bring the merchant fleet up to the level of the foreigh trade. Moreover, interest in shipping until recent times at least has been quite feeble,

and

the Government and the Riksdag, have also adapted an in- different attitude towards shipping, except in the case of icebreakers for the maintenance of winter navigation

LUNATIC'S LEAP.

SEA INFESTED WITH SHARKS.

London, Sept. 8.

A lunatic's leap overboard into a shark-infested sea after a struggle with another lunatic was a thrilling incident of the voyage from Aus- tralia of the P. and O. linor "Bendigo."

The "Bendigo," now. In King Edward Dock, London, took on

There is a proposal to were placed in create a ship loan fund with an isolation ward. initial amount of 100,000,000 Fin nish marks after the pattern of Sweden, and the Government will lay the scheme before the Riksdag during the month. That Interest in shipping is increasing is shown by the fact that a number of new undertakings have been formed this year and old ones extended.

Plans also exist for the establish- ment of an export line from Fin- lund, via the Suez Canal, to Chin- ese, South African, and Australian

harbours.

At the head of the scheme is Mr, R. Mattsson, Aland sailing ship owner whose company already OWES three steamers of 8,000- 10,000 deadweight tons, which have hitherto been in tramp service. The idea is now to acquire a fourth

vessel and others is necessary. The undertaking would be directly a line

When the "Bendigo" was round- ing Cape Verde, in a calm sen, on August 26, one of the mon-James Wilson, aged forty-who had been chatting with his companions in the isolation ward, was suddenly seized with a fit of restlessness. John McCormack, one of his com- panions, saw Wilson creeping to

wards the deck, and shouted, "Where are you going, Jim?”

Wilson shouted out "Home," and rushed on deck, pursued by McCor- mack. The two men struggled for a few seconds and then Wilson threw his opponent to the deck and took a flying leap into the sea.

The cry, "Man overboard," was raised, the liner stopped, and two boats were lowered, but no trace of the missing man was found.
