facilities which obtain at Southam tun for the handling of big ships, and the new record with regard to tonnage reflects the greatest possible credit upon Captain E. W. Harvey, M.B.E., the dockmaster and outdoor assistant who is handling the limited accommodation at his disposal with as much ingenuity as is required to solve a a jigsaw puzzle.

In other words, the existing docks were not constructed, with a view to handling anything like the tonnage which now pours into them, a fact which will be better appreciated when it is stated that 40 per cent. more shipping is now being dealt with than was thought possible in 1819. Captain Harvey is the genius which

has made this

remarkable feat possible, and the greatest poca sible credit is dco to him on that account.
