Yet we find that those respon sible for the selection of the transport have chosen one of the slowest vessels to be found in this large shipping port. From enquiries which we have made this morning we find that the Hingsang is only a to knot boat, at most, yet other vessels could have easily been obtained steaming hfteen knots. She is also a vessel, built for the carriage of sugar and other heavy cargo, is not adapted
for use as a transport and never Should lave been chosen for such a purpose. Iter troop-deck, if such a term may be applied to it is il ventilated and dark and would, should she fall in with bad weather, prove a veritable black hole, as, the hatches would have to be put on, the few small ports closed, and the men would be half, if not quite stilled. The quaters for the officers are so small and cramped that they will in all pro- bability have to dine in relays, there is but one bathroom for their use and no accomaкİ- dation whatever of that description for the troops. Even the cooking arrangements are faulty in the extreme and will be 1769h likely to lead to dissatisfaction amongst the nun, for Sikhs and Mahommedans will have to use the same cooking place and thus both class of men will love caste.
