The pamphlet proceeds to deal briefly with each of these causes, and the account it gives is truly terrible." With regard to un- healtby accommodation, it points out that: The startling fact is

qow recorded that 24 per cent. of the mortality among sesmen on board ship is due to diseaseS of the respiratory system." This figure among a class of men leading an open-air life is des oribed by the medical officer of The Port of London ne very strik» ing. He attributed it to the want of ventilation in the quarters where the men not only sleep, but,

actually upon sept when deck, live. The host of the stokehold cannot be pre- vented, bat, as no men are carri ed more than is barely necessary,
