THE OTHER SIDE

THE QUESTION,

To the Enyor or tua ↑ Hungkow TelegrarIL”. SIR,-in your issue of Wednesday appears a Jetter under the heading "A Skipper's Grievance" on which I would like to make a few remarks. The skipper in question deliven himself of the following!-

"The evil result of this drink selling in the harbour, is that any oflicer or engineer can ob tain without the least trouble, any quantity of liquor to take to sea with him; in fact he has the temptation to drink thrust under his nose, and every body knows what trouble there is at sea with officers who are inclined to give way to this weakness. I could fill a good sized book with stories which have come under my observation of young officers who have been ruined, both in body and soul, by taking liquors to sca with them." Now I consider that the alive-casts a very serious reflection on young officers, and more particularly engineers, with whom I am much afraid from his letter, "A skipper" has not been much brought We do not hear of many cases in this part of the world of young officers or engineers causing trouble by drunkenness, and I think that ir a comparison were made between skippers, especially old ones, and officers and engineers, it certainly would not redound to the credit of the skippers.

A skipper" is probably a well meaning sort of a man, and evidently intended his letter to throw some light on the traffic carried on by Chinese owned steam kumches which are so numerous in this harbour, as from which the crews of ships are supplied with fire water" by the bottle, jar or dozen. However, I think that A skipper went rather beyond his mark when he indiscriminately clubbed together officers and engineers as being the people likely to suffer foin the visits of steam-launches. I have no doubt that "A skipper" could fill a good sized book with stories of young officers being ruined &c., &c., by taking liquors to sea with then, and I am equally certain that a thousand good sized volumes could be fitted with stories of ship wrecks which were due to the taking liquors sea with them, but the drunkenness of the skippers. I am advocate for drunkenness, quite the reverse; at the same time I believe in taking what I think is right, in fact using the

"things

of this life in reason, not abusing This is so often done by the class to which well ima skipper" evidently belongs. I can gine that the growling individual has seen much harm result from the abuse of dink, most pro- bably in his own person, in fact the stars of

over a new leaf is in votary temperance and muffin worries, he wishes to warn others of the awful examples he has wit nessed, and in his over zeal attacks young ofl. cers and engineers without any just cause, akipper" tells us that he rentenibers a case being tried at the "Police Court before Mr. C. May some years ago, in which the captain of a ship had sunk, with his deep sea lead, a bumbon which persisted in coming alongside for the pur. pose of selling drink to the crew, and the trate said that the captain was quite jushed and had done a very desirable thing." The above may be perfectly accurate in detail, Magistrate remarks, and think it very likely if I much question the justice of the such a high-handed measure had been put in force in any other place than Hongkong, that the gallant bumboat sinking Skipper would have been treated to three months hard labour. That the dispensary steam launches are a great bean both to officers and engineers cannot be denied, especially to those in consting steamers. Under present circumstances, which are fairly legiti m14, na licence being required to enatale any person to sell spirits in

of one dozen or quantities a "upwards,” both officers and engineers are enabled | to get their supplies at first hand and not through the Skippers; perhaps this latter fact may have something to do with bringing out the Ancient Mariner's" 'grow! "A Skipper "says he wishes to call the attention of the proper authorities to what is a very serious violation of the law, wluch is openly carried on in this harbour,, and adds that steam launches asc constantly visiting vessels, presumably with aerated waters for sale, while their real business is to sell cases of brandy, gin, or in fact anything that an officer can pay (ur. As the setting of cases of brandy, &c., de would appear to

a perfectly legitimate busi ness, I cannot help thinking that "A Skipper" has anduly interfered with what did not concern him, in addition to the slur he casts on officers and engineers generally, and would strongly advise him to see that he has a real grievance before he again launches forth his virtuous indignation and rushes into print. A conscient,ous study of the eleventh commandment, and a more charitable feeling towards men who are not total abstainers, is hereby strongly recommended to the notice of "Askipper."

Encouraged by this kindly greeting the young lady entered the room and seated herself.

LETTER BOXES.

Many boxes of letters are received at the Post Office not scaled, that is to say, the box is fastened with sealing wax, but there is no impression of a seal.

The attention of boxholders is called to the necessity of carefully sealing such boxes with some recognisable seal, and of sending a chit book or receipt with them. The omission of the latter precaution leaves a doubt as to whether the contents of the box ever reached the Post Office; the omission of the former, as to whether part of them might not have been abstracted for the sake of the Postage Stamps.
