season there should be some system whereby, for instance, high
powered tugs or life-boats would be available with a view to
saving life where possible.
The loss of S.S. "Loong Sang" has excited a consider-
able amount of unfavourable comment amongst Captains and Officers
on the China Coast, especially having regard to the helplessness
of the authorities in making any attempt to save life.

I am,Sir,
Your obedient Servant,
In Moore
Secretary.
