A youthful face is shrouded by the webs,

As if some gentle hand bad placed a vell To guard the loved one from intrading gare. And amber tints of age transformed the scens Into a twilight-calm and still,

THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, FRIDAY, JANUARY 29, 1892.

The rattling of artillry on the plain Awoke the clements to strife again... And then the contest raged.

"Stand by the halyards! now my men-stand by Shouted young Llonel from the upper deck, With clear, calm voice; the mate dived down

Staysalla were farled, but broke adrift again To be converted into canvas whips That cracked and Inshed like furies

up aloft Driving the seamen from each swaying yard, For braces were let go, and blocks came down As if determined to enjoy the game, And crack the skulls of those who placed them

thero;

And so the gale increased,

The sea tan mountains high 1'. The captain stood beside the helmsman, aft : No longer did he jump of swear, but grasped The rail more tightly-and his whiskey flake. For that old skipper boasted when on shore That he consumed enough in one sound voyage To flost his vessel in the dryest dock i Hat God forbid we should revile him now- He drank his all that night, Before the mom His thirst would well be quenched-quenched

with the brine

His time was drawing nigh...

The lightning flashed upon the quivering spars. And for an instant leapt across the deck, Revealing all the terror and diamay Depicted on the swarthy faces there, Many among the figures thus exposed Had scorned the gale, but now looked petrified And stood like mommleg in a marble mould. But others rushed about and abortened sail As best they might, with many hands too abort Lionel well knew the state which things were in; But though dismayed, discretion all was bls He did not rub for hatchet or for axe, Nor life-buoy either, but belayed the ropes And saw the fore sheet clear for letting go: But little need, for as he turned the coil Down come the yard and topmasts in a squall, Crushing the boats and ploughing up the deck Close where our hero slood,

The lightning struck her and the mainmast fell Stranding the shrouds that tore the weather rell, Disabled pumps, and killed the second mate→ Then rose the tempest with a horrid shriek The sea lashed white and thunder joined the

din-

And night wore slowly ́en.

Those who were left to see the carnage through, Semte tore their hair, and looked into their tomb, Then, ahuddering, recoiled and prayed in vain, Clutching at planks, their eyeballs starting out Or sprang in'frantic fear from side to side, Until they raved and knew not what they did. Others, less frantic, in a fer'rish haste Collected wreckage to construct a raft. And Lionel bravely laboured with the rest Or fancied so, for, truth to tell, the youth Knew that bis time had come, for Life and Death Were shaking hands too cordially by far, To meditate x rescue being near.

The breeze increases, and with braces taut, And yards braced up, and steering two polats

Charging again upon the doomed ship, That shuddered, rolled and shook from stem to

Batt'ring her aides and opening all the seams; Starting good bolts that held the timbers long, And knees that meant resistance to the last.

Then sinks into her grave.

reproduction at the present Jurcare will suffice to prove that the scandalous state of affalim | exposed is an old and crying evil, to check which British shipmasters and officers should protest vigorously and insist on reforms which, much longer pooh-poohed, will result in more serious trouble than the sapient wire-pullers of the Board of Trarle have any notion of, for the reason that they, in common with many other, have falled to recognito that the British Merchant Service when well organised-and lis organiza tion is going on apace-will be a gigantic force. more powerful than all the trades-unions that ever existed, for it cannot be denied that were masters and officers to go out in all parts of the world at one and the same time, the com- merce of the universe would be lostantly paralysed. And the sooner that possibility dawns upon the Government, the better it will be for shipping interests in the end.

"I venture to submit a few remarks about Nautical Assessors, that brother shipmasters, abroad may be induced to give their opinion and experience in the same way upon a subject which so nearly concerns us all, as the mis- carriage of justice through incompetent or blased ABOT threatent_the_whole : future of every master and all those dependent upon him for maintenance and education, and I sincerely trust that those who read will do so to strengthen the Pettion upon this subject which is to be presented to the House of Commons by the Shipmasters' Society of London,

The first point relates to the glaring injustice of the choice of Nautical Assessors appointed to take part in Courts of Inquiry. Favouritism la so conspicuous that it is palpable interest must faterfere with falr judgment, for we find that the same men figure as Nautical Assessors in nearly all these Courts, as proved beyond denial by the tabulated form which appeared in the March number of this journal. The Assessors' fees are good, and prove valuable adjunct to their income, so that scapegoats must be found, other- wise their occupation would soon be gone. The tables drawn up as referred to above, prove beyond a doubt that it is at present the monopoly of a few. Why are not Assessors chosen more promiscuously? There are now in London and every port in England hundreds of good, capable men, out of command owing to the present dreadful depression in trade, and there are always hundreds of men in command of ships in our Barbours who could act.. Why then are Assessors not chosen promiscuously from a class of men more the compéers of the man on trial than those now chosen, who are unfit to judge owing to self-interest, and are too often men on the retired list of the Royal Navy ?

Referring to Nautical Assessors appointed from the retired #1 of the Royal Navy, we approach the second point to which I have the honour of drawing your attention. I uphold that they are incapable of judging as Assessors the actions of a merchant commander, especiality in points of discipline. I concede all that is due to the officers of H.M. Navy when I say, what is and always has been admitted on all hands, that they are educated gentlemen and brave sailors yet they can know nothing from experience of the moral discipline that regulates the Merchant Navy.

The commander of one of Her Majesty's ships sails under what is almost equivalent to muttial law. He has marines at his command ard an organized force similar to police. He has officers of many grades, and all classes live separate and distinct from each other. He has men order him, all British subjects who have been imited In the service, and who look forward to a pension in the future, and therefore are not at all a difficult set of men to govern. Then again if punishment becomes necessary to maintain discipline in his little city, a few men plated i limbo are not misd. He has his navig in

Hea'enant, and his secretar, and some ince bi chaplain, so there is iktle left him to do but regi supreme.

----

Under these circumstances, the consul and friends are interested in the downfall of the master to be tried, and the Nautical Assessors chosen from some vessels in rort under the immediate influence of the consul; thus it may be seen that they may be to a certain extent unduly influenced, not on the side of mercy. From among the const friends Merchan Assessors are also sometimes appointed. Such Assessors should not be empowered to deprive a man of his certificate'or Kli command, because they are all interested more or less, and the consul should not be allowed to preside over a Court, more especially where he himself makes the charges against the master, as I was rone in the case of the Cleopatra af Per nambuco.

Just a fine to tell you of a great outrage, that has been committed by the Ziin authorities an the British steamer launch Takow belonging to the Takow Tug and Ligh'er Co. The Lillathe runners, baving had some dispute with certain shippers of cargo being conveyed from. Takow to Taiwanfoo, rushed on board, seized one of the men who was in the fore cabin of the launch, and in their struggles broke through the batches and top work of the launch, which, with them, fell through on to the engines, bending some of the pipes, and playing "eld Harry" generally with the machinery, Not content with this they returned after an hour in force, sesed the cargo that war on board, and, in d lag so Inflicted fresh damage on the hatchways and other parts of the launch, stealing several articles out of the engine room, clothes or other things belonging to the crew, finally winding up by driving all the latter on shore, who rushed in a state of abject terior to the British consul entreating his protection,

Of course an urgent protest, or demand for reparation, is being made, but as to how or when any satisfaction may be looked for, no, une can say. There is no doubt but that the Indifference with which a somewhat similar out- rage, perpetrated on Russell & Co.'s property fast year, has been treated by the high officials of the country then concerned, has emboldened the kin authorities to commit a still more audacious act and in their turn treat with con- tempt all local remonstrances or demands for redress! What will next happen if some notice be not taken of this last recurrence, may be imagined though possibly not easily defined.

I write you in great haste, having bad little or no time since the steamers arrival to collect, or at least write, fuller particulars. You may take it for granted, however, that, so far from Likin troubles being on the road to amendment, as Deerly as I can judge maiters promise to assame much more formidable dimensions than they have attained even in the recent past.
