be compelled to note the case on the Bill of Health. Mr. Rublee

concludes it is evident that the Captain thought it prudent to

"put the man off the steamer, in order to avoid possible com-

"plications on the arrival of the steamer in the United States".

The Colonial Secretary on the 15th. idem

pointed out to Mr. Rubles that the matter complained of by this

Government was, not the action of the Doctor, but the dis-

-charge of the Seaman in an illegal manner.

To this Mr. Rubles replied on the following

day that the United States Hospital Service Doctor had nothing

to do with the discharge of the seaman. The "KNight Companion"

being a British steamer the responsibility of discharging the

seaman rested with the Captain. "If a member of the crew" he

wrote "is unable to continue the voyage on account of sickness

*it seems to me that the Captain must meet the requirements of

"the law in discharging the seaman. Should he not wish to dis-

"-charge him he is at liberty to keep him on board subject to

"any risks that may attend his remaining".

The Colonial Secretary acknowledged this

letter on the 21st. July, 1902, and drew Mr. Rublee's attention

to the fact that the Doctor was indirectly responsible for the

dismissal, as the Captain preferred to illegally discharge the

seaman rather than run the risk of sailing without the United

States Hospital Service Doctor's Certificate. The Colonial

Secretary continues:- "This Government has out of courtesy

"raised no objection to the Doctors attached to your Consulate

"performing on board British Ships in the Port functions,

"which are not enjoined by British law, and the Government

*looks to you to render assistance in preventing the exercise

"of those functions leading to irregularities.

"I am therefore to suggest to you that in

*future, if a seaman of any British ship should be rejected on

"Medical examination in this port by any of the Doctors attached

"to your Consulate-General, you should oblige this Government

"by causing enquiry to be made on the spot of the Master of

the
