The China crisis has given a push to business at Pulo Way through the increasing number of men of-war calling there to coal, says the Penang Gazette. Provisions are harder to get owing to the island depending upon importation from Penang and Singapore. vessels at Pulo Way ran so short of tinned milk that they had to turn to Penang.

The Secretary of the Treasury also calls attention to a recent decision to the effect that persons who go on vessels as attendants on horses are not eligible to be mustered in as members of the crew, for their business on board, namely, the care of the livestock, bears no relation to the safety of the vessel.
