AND CARELESSNESS.
TO THE EDITOR or the "Harckoko TelegraFK,”**** SIR, A copy of your valuable paper of the 16: instant has just reached me in which I observe, with deep interest, that Captain Hansen of the bark G. H. Wappuus was tried before the Magit trate at the Police Court in your colony and fined Sse for falling from Hongkong in April last without a duly certificated mate on board his command; with another fifty added fo falsifying his log.
From the Magistrate's judgment it is clear that Captain Hansen had been carrying an able Beaman as mate for upwards of eighteen months all about the coast of China. This shows that he had been clearing his ship at British Consulates n certain treaty ports in a manner which throws the greatest discredit upon consular officers, who either don't know or don't care two straws what the shipping laws stipulate for in connection with the so-called proper officering of British ships. All they want, apparently, are the fees for "clear ing" the ships 1
In the case of the G. H. Whappuus it is as clear as daylight that all the captain wanted was to get the certificated mate, John Doff, to merely sign on the articles to that he could get away from the waters of Hongkong without difficulty with the harbour authorities. Once eleur of Hongkong be felt sure of experiencing no difficulty with Consul Parker at Pagoda Anchor- age, whither he was bound. That his estimate of the facility for evading the law there was based upon good grounds there would seem to be no doubt whatever, for in evidence it was proved that he succeeded in "bluffing" Consul Parker into Initialing an entry on the articles that "John Duff never joined the ship," whereas, as a of fact, that officer never had a fair chance to join. Consul Parker, it seems, never wrote to Hongkong about the matter, but "cleared the Wappus without a certificated mate, in absolute contravention of laws which he is paid to see
observed to the letter.
matter
But this is not an isolated case by any means. It has been going on for years past all over the coasts of China and Japan, and is an utter dis grace to the authorities concerned.
Captain Ramsey, the Harbour Master, who succeeded in "fixing" this German skipper of a British bark, has done well indeed, for he bat exposed thereby a rotten state of things which cannot too soon be remedied; carelessness on the part of British officials so gross, in fact, sa to almost lend to a reasonable assumption that without the addition of a dollar or two being "put in the way of" interested parties such mal- practices could not exist and flourish.
As a man of considerable experience in Eastern seas 1 write thus to call attention to the matter in the hope that the Board of Trade, and Mercantile Marine Officers' Associations in various parts of the world, will give the subject their prompt and earnest consideration, and make an example of delinquents. The day should now be past when captains, acting under instructions from owners and agents, can turn uncertificated men into
officers of the watch "at sea, in direct con travention of a law which, although wholly unsuitable to the times, nevertheless makes it necessary for every British ship of over 100 tons burden to carry "at least one certificated officer in addition to the master. The law should read at least two certificated officers besides the master," but that is something which will come, if I mistake not, in the near future. It la certainly very necessary in view of the increased number and speed of steamers plying in all parts of the world. The old shipping law of 1854 l, In short, a scandalous disgrace to those whose
lethargy permits it to remain as the mariner's

SHENSI NOTES.
SING-AN FU, 26th July, 1890. The Hankow mails arrived late on account of the heavy rains that prevailed here this month. It has struck old inhabitants of Shensi that since the great famine the climate of this province has completely changed. Formerly the summers were dry, but now they are invariably wet. The consequence is that the bigh ground north of the broad river Wei, which cuts the Sing-an Fu Plain in two, has gained in value, while ibe land in some of the districts on the south, between the Tsing Ling mountains and the river, what with rains and inundations, has lost in value seven waterigit fold. I have heard of people drawing water at the mouth of their wells, wh'ch shows
the soaked state of soil. The rains are driving the neople out of the mountains, where during the winter there was quite a disastrous famine, the potato crop having completely failed and even turned to poison. Without potato seed I don't know how the people will do next winter. If the gord thought cometo any of your readers of sending some potato seed or the price of it to the ProcuratorofCatholic Missions (Mons, Melgmot), Shanghai, or better still to the Procurator nt Hankow, for the Shensi mountaineers, the humanity and charily of the Europeans would be for the thousandth time demonstrated,
Tannounced last time that the Mongols here Time, were boycotting the Mobammedans. however, has healed wounded bodies and wounded feelings, and without a Balfour or coet, clon th old ways of peace have come back.
About three weeks ago two English gentlemen of the Baptist Mission, Mr. Shorrock and Mr. Evan Morgan, passed here on their way to Tai- yuun-fa (Shansi). We happened to be three nationalltjes in Sing-an Fo at the time, the Italian Bi-hop of Northern Shenal, with French. and English missionaries. The encounter with Europeans was very agreeable to us all, The gentlemen in question visited the famous Nestorian or Catholic monument · outside the. Western gate. Taey were disappointed at not being able to obtain full size copies of the stone. The fact is, it is not so easy a formerly; the bonzes who are in charge have Established a monopoly, and it is only in the cold season that copies are taken and at an elevated price. If any of your readers should wish for a copy or coples, please address the Catholic Priest, Singan Fu, Shenzi, care of the Catholic Missions, Hankow, and he would endeavour to obtain them at the lowest possible price.
