Tbe need for 1r!eM telegraphy
on ships carrying more than a -few
pasengrs is 'capably discus3ed by a
wrlur, feigning himself V.JoIanthe," In
i&t' September issue at thef Nautical
Magazine. The aethof . It evidently
aril individual connected tr 1th the East
ern Interport trade, and he applies his
remarks ieciaIly,to the conditions, of
the roolie-carryJnff business of China
and, India: In the course of the arti
cle he says: Too much cannot be said
in regard to the praiseworthy action
of the United States 5 government
whereby they have made v it "'compul
sory for..all vessels trading to their
ports, having 50 or more persons on
board; to be fitted .'with wireless tele
graphy, and the writer .hopes that our j
own government- will shortly realize
the urgent necessity for legislation
enforcing the .equipment of ; British
vessels ,with an Installation capable
of commonieatlng over a distance of
at least three or four hundred miles.
Especially is such a law required in
the case of vessels - engaged in the
emigrant anJ coolie, trades, such ves
sels often' leaving port with from 1500
to 4000 people on board. v in the lat
ter, granted the majority are only
coolies, still even coolies are human,
and as such are burdened with souls,
also family , ties, etc., Jwhlch render
their lives as precious to some one
as those of the passengers; on the big
liners;? which. lines, neeedless to say,
are equipped with the latest and most
up-to-date wireless installations. AVere
they not, the. management would soon
pereelve a decided falling off in their
bookings , in favor of some more go
ahead company. v
A ' Local Illustration. v j'i r
.There -Is van t. enormous trade be
tween China and the Straits Settle
ments, as many v as -r 10,000 to 12,000
coolies leaving one port in China for
the Straits in a. month, and nearly as
many vice versa The route these ves
sels traverse is . notorious for .: bad
weather, the N. , E. monsoon , raging
fiercely for nearly half the year, blow
ing a gale for days at a time, then the
remainder of the, year sees typhoons
of frequent occurrence and great vio
lence. Still these ships are allowed to
put to sea with' their 1500 to 4000 pas
sengers and no . special precautions
adopted by government for their, wel
fare 'and .safety ': ;:
The writer .pictures the terrllle
consequences that would ensue were
a vessel of. that class to become dis
abled in mid-ocean and drift about till
her limited stock of provisions and
water were to run out; and he goes
on' .to ' instance a ., well-remembered
local case -of hardship, ;It was only
the latter part.of last November the
steamer Clenfalloch left Singapore, for
,Honkopg, . having . on board some
eigni or 4iine .nunarea , persons, ana
was fourteen day 8 overdue before. any
news of her reached the world. She
broke .down - In: the China sea, .'but
with the . aid of sails,, tarpaulins, awn
ings, tc, 'she managed to reach ian
anchorage in Gaalong .bay, " Island of
Hainan, the northeast monsoon , and
currents being favorable. But having
reached a t haven of safety their
troubles .were by no .means at an., end,
for their' was no assistance to .he had
there, nor '. evenmeans of : communi
cating with any other - place, so the
captain was forced to attempt making
his way - across the island on . foot.
After several days," 'and suffering - in
numerable hardships, he - reached the
town of Hoihow, fiom which )iace he
was able to telegraph for help and
communicate with - his owners ' and
agents.. Mad this 'vessel been .fitted
with wireless she" would have been in
touch with shore stations all the time.
could immediately shave 1 called for
help, giving; her exact position, there-,
by saving time and expense, relieving
the anxiety Of thousands, and reduc-
ng the risk of lives to a minimum.
Typhoon Warnings.
wireless would' be a great asset In
the dangerous typhoon season, as 'by
ts means vessels would be warned of
the movements of .these storms and
be enabled to navigate sd as to avoid
them or seek shelter till they;; had
passed; or in the ; event of being
caught In one would have - means of
communicating witn tne snore, or
with other vesseisj so that -in -1 he
event of disaster, if assistance i was
not in time to save all hands, in all
probability a great number would be
picked up and the accounts of vessels
leaving port never to be heard tell
of again would be a thing of the past.
In the China sea alone a great, many
vessels have - suddenly disappeared
with a large number of . people .on
boards like the steamer Charterhouse,
which was . lost some jrears ago. be
put to sea, was caught in a typhoon
within twenty-four hours of leaving
port took over a thousand coolies and
other passengers to the bottom, and
is by, no means the only one which
has -disappeared so suddenly. . -.,
ei can. only, hope that, it our own
government does not ahortly .take

Considerable interest is being man
ifested in shipping circles in the far
east over a new' Japanese, steamship
line called -the Nanyo Steamship Ca,
which '.will . sUrt within a short time
running . between Japanese . ports and
Jaa in direct competition with 4 thte
stronelv established Java-China-Ja-
Dan line. The Java line has eight
steamers at present, all of them mod
ern- and of good speed, with a total
gross registered tonnage. - of 37,000,
maintaining a fortnightly service be
tween .Java and Japan while on the
other hand the Japanese company will
begin1 operations with- only . three
boats with a -total tonnage of .11,000.
These steamers, it is understood, will
receive -a subsidy of 50,000 yen ( $23,
000) . per. 8hip a year, which. k decid
edly, larger than the trade conditions
would seemingly warrant . as practi
cally the only export to Japan from
Java is sugar and the latter country
buys little from its northern neighbor.
There is, however, an Indication that
emigration to Java from Japan will
be; strongly encouraged, as there
seems.' to be a lack of labor and no
governmental restrictions at present
to prevent an unlimited number to
enter
The sugar situation in Formosa
may have had a considerable influ
ence in starting the venture, as the
crop, the present year Is not normal,
taken as a whole, and it has been stat
ed that the cane has been attacked by
a disease which will keep the produc
tion considerably below the usual
output for the next four or five years.
This forces the Japanese to look else
where Tor the raw product to equal
the home demands. The Philippine
sugar is finding a ready market in the
United States and therefore is not
available for exportation to Japan;
this leaves the Java sugar practically
without a competitor. The trade be
tween the two countries ioes rot seem
to warrant two steamship companies
competing, but' it seems evident, from
the reasons already indicate, that the
Japanese line is entering into this
trade, for exploiting, ihe emigration
and because of the decrease in For-"
mosa sugar. The freight rates will
be maintained by the Java line if ios
sible, although this depends on the
action,' of .the new company. rThe. in- Japa?-Calcutta service -giving : fort-fcen Kalsha is plaanir.s to :
