The result was that scared hordes spent the vital night con- cealed on roof tops or hiding in the jungle. Many stayed up to their necks in pools of water in the belief that they would escape official notification if they were not on dry ground.

For the first time, an attempt will be made at this census secure figures of the literate un- employed. The importance of this to a province like Bengal that has many bhadralog (middle- class) out of work is obvious. Where the enumerators find any male literate in English who la of employment and either out wishing he were employed, or in a post which he does not consider commensurate with his capacities, he will be given an opportunity to All in a return showing his quali- fications, and the appointment for which he considers himself equip ped. An effort will also be made to secure figures of the inhabit- ants of the province who speak more than one language. It is possible that the procedure for enumerating Europeans and Anglo-Indians will be brought into line with that of the general

census.

How considerable a task it will be to take the census of Bengal alone may be realised from one or two simple facts. At the last census in 1921 the province con- tained. 48,000,000 people who lived, for the most part, in remote vil- lages sometimes, as in the case of the Chittagong Hill Tracts, in almost impenetrable jungle. The languages or distinct dialects which they spoke numbered over 100.

He then met the Boarding Officers, who told him that the ship was over-loaded, but he denied it, as a result of which they had an argument over it. They the marks finally examined together, and found that the star- board disc was above the water. There was a list to port at the time and it was very difficult to see the port disc. No discharging of cargo was done from 7.10 p.m. until Mr. Cairns went on board again just before the ship sailed.

The ship took on 321 passengers that evening. At about 10 p.m., i Mr. Cairns went on board again and said things were all right.

Master's Denials.

Capt. Elvidge denied that he had ever made a statement to Mr. Cairns or Mr. Cook that water was being pumped out from the water tanks. The ship then had 25 tons of bunker coal on board, this being the regular procedure during the typhoon season.

In answer to his Worship, Capt. Elvidge said that 500 five-pound bags of flour were discharged between 6 p.m. and 7.10 p.m.
