and the little corrective affect they might have is rendered absolutely nugatory by the fact that frequently the same guard is returned to resume duty

on board the same ship. His respect for the ships officers is in no way enhanced when his misconduct is condoned in this flagrant menner.

That a striking instance is afforded in the case when corrective measures (report to 0.0.0.) were taken against one of the guards by the Chief Officer of a river steamer which subsequently led to his death at the hands of the man he had reported; the said officer being fatally shot in the back whilst on the bridge et his post of duty, the murderer being allowed to escape.

(3) That a system of patrolling the routes traversed by these vessels by armed craft equipped with wireless installations is the only means by which efficient

counter measures can be taken.

That this is a duty which should be entirely in the hands of the Royal Navy which is the only Service adequately equipped to carry it to a

successful issue.

(4) That the installation of wireless telegraphy,

although possibly expensive as to first cost, ie nevertheless imperative and, if it tends to save life and property or check this crying evil, as it most assuredly will, no consideration of first cost should be allowed to weigh against this obvious factor of efficiency.

(5) That the money paid by the shipowners for the ser-

vices of the guards might be more suitably directed to the insurance of the lives and bodies of the European officers engaged in vessels subject to the Piracy Regulations. Under present conditions it is the lives and bodies of these officers which form
