The tople discussed at a meet Ing of the Southampton Master Mariners Club, at the South Western Hotel, recently, was "Dis cipline in the Merchant Service,” a subject which, although selected beforehand, became particularly appropriate in view of the happen inga-in the liner "Jervis Bay." The opener of the discussion was Captain J. W. Williams, D.S.O., R.D., R.N.R., who said he thought one line which could be taken was whether the law, as laid down by the Merchant Shipping Act, provid- ed adequately for the maintenance of good discipline on board ships, and whether. in the axecu- tion of those laws, the shipmaster was afforded the full assistance of the authorities without being a lawyer. He (the speaker) thought the laws were all right, but he was nevertheless convinced that the shipmaster was not allowed to levy sufficient fines upon members of the crew who were insubordinate, A five shillings fine was about the limit that could be imposed for such offences as contemptuous and abusive language and disobedience, although the fine could, of course,

be increased in cases of continual drunkenness. Proceeding, Captain Williams said shipmasters, as they all knew, wers loth to go to the law, as it might mean delay to a ship, inconvenience to his owners, and considerable expense. For that reason masters of ships were in some ways deterred from carrying out the law. as laid down by the Merchant Shipping Act. He per- sonally thought the shipmaster might be assisted a great deal more by the authorities, and in this con nection he thought that in big ports it would be a great help to shipmasters if men of their own calling were sometimes found among the justices. Because that was not the case, many of the difficulties encountered by comman- ders of ships were not fully ap preciated. As an example of slightly different type he would quote the instance of the "Jervis Bay, on which an inquiry was held under the chairmanship of the Collector of Customs. That gen tleman, with all due respect, had Captain J.

That, of course, was purely certainly capable of being led. the commander's responsibility, and one found that, whilst turmoil existed on one vessel, the utmost harmony prevailed on another.

Captain N. R. C. Ramsay, R.N.R., thought that if only shipowners and shipmasters were prepared to re- gard men as men, and not as ma- chincs, then discipline should not be difficult to maintain.
