TESTIMONY

It is not by any means usual for passengers to show ther apprecia- tiveness of seamanship and service after a stormy voyage in a public 'manner as has been done by those who travelled on the ss. "Islami" on her recent trip from Singapore to Hong Kong.

It is, therefore, of general in- terest to re-print the substance of an advertisement voluntarily in- serted in the "Kung Sheung Yat Po," as follows:-

"In grateful acknowledgment of services rendered by Mr. Chan Hay Mao, Compradore" of the 3.5

"Islami."

On her last trip, from Singapore to Hong Kong the .. "Islami” encountered very heavy seas due to the presence of a typhoon, and as a result there was considerable danger to the passengers from the heavy seas and from the resultant movement of the cargo. During the whole of this period the Com. pradore was most active. In minis. tering to the passengers and expecially to the women and chil: dren. He and his staff also work ed throughout the night in re stowing the cargo and generally putting everything in order. We, the undersigned passengers, wish to thank him gratefully for all he did for us
