| ECUADOR'S SHIPPING
COMPANIES SERVING THE PORT BLUE STAR LINE
OF GUAYAQUIL,
GERMANY'S MAJOR SHARE.
Some interesting comments on the shipping situation and on the various companies serving the part of Guayaquil are contained in a re- port to the Department of Overseas Trade by the. British Consul- General at Quito on the economic conditions in Ecuador, dated September, 1930. It is shown that during the year 1929 there entered in the foreign trade of the port of Gobyaquil 412 ships of all nation- alities, with a not tonnage of 982,613, of which 71 were British, with a net tonnage of 177,349. During the same period 414 ships! cleared, with a net tonnage of 982,013, of which 73 were British, with a net tonnage of 177,348. The hading country in shipping at the port of Guayaquil was Germany, with 100 ships, with a net tonnage of 211,212, which entered and cleared.
During the first six months of 1930, 205 ships entered at the port of Guayaquil with a net tonnage of -169,837, and 207 ships cleared with a tonnage of 470,043. British ship- ging during that period was X--- Entered 20 ships with a tonnage of $6,367 and cleared 30 ships with 60,408 tons. During the half-year under review Germany was again at the head with 54 ships and 101,006 tons which entered, while the United States was second with 41 ships and a net tonnage of 96,444.
DEEP SEA TRAGEDY,
THE NAVY FINDS MORE FISH.
Finding new fishing grounds for our deep-sea trawler fleets is one of the many useful jobs done by the Navy about which we hear little. The old grounds are no longer able to supply Great Britain's needs; therefore, the Navy has for some while past been engaged in seeking fresh fields wherein the harvest of the sea may be reaped in greater abundance.
Fiah hunting is one of the strangest of quests. The habits of
fish are capricious. Nobody really
understands them.
The small warships that go in search of new lahing grounds are subject to the same, uncertainty as a miner who goes prospecting for gold, They may make, a lucky strike or they may not.
What they try to find is a bank
