There is a serious side to the question that may be realised by not only the Government but probably by the shipowners when it is too late, perhaps.

(from Yokohama.) already gone across and found ready and lucrative employment under the Stars and Stripes. The rapid expansion of the United States Mercantile Marine feet necessitates the employment of a large number of captains and officers. It is well recognised that ships can be built faster than men to efficiently man and officer them can be trained. It is there- fore only natural that there should be a shortage of officers. Although the United States law requires U.S. citizens to command and officer their ships, a loophole will always be found to evade the law rather than valuable vessels should be tied up for the want of officers, and particularly when well qualified and tried men present

Its first vessels were paddle boats of about 1,800 tons, with a speed of about 8 knots. and in those days the satisfactory victualling! of passengers must bave been a great difficulty, especially in the tropics, as refrigerating machinery was unknown, and These steamers are fitted with Refrigerating acmhinery, ensur live sheep and fowls had to being a plentiful supply of ice, fresh provisions etc, and have superior fresh meat, whilst dim oil lamps the State-rooms.

The manian ports. journery from the Metropolis to Southampton for embarkation had also at that time, to be made by road, as the first railway com- munication was not established until the following year-1840- when the London terminus was at Nine Elms. Waterloo Station was not opened until 1848, and Southampton Docks were existent. The history of the com- pany from many points of view is interesting to follow, affording as it does instance after instance of the development of trade routes to the benefit of British com- merce ip nearly all parts of the world, carried on by the com- pany's own ships and those of its associated linea. The Panama Canal is one of the modern won- ders of the world, but the Royal Mail Company organised transit by mules and canoes across the Visthmus as far back as 1846, and partially financed the Panama Railway Company in 1850.
