The number of European seamen shipped and discharged
during the year amounts to 4,539 as compared with the figures of
the previous year (4,682), or a decrease of 143 only, which is
owing to the decrease in the number of sailing vessels arriving at
this port. Steam vessels do not stay sufficiently long in port to
enable their crews to get discontented, as is the case m sailing
vessels, which latter rarely leave port without discharging one or
more members of the crew.
The number of seamen sent to the United Kingdom under
this head is 12 as compared with 19 of the previous year,—5 at
their own expense and 7 as being incapable of doing duty through
sickness.
The number subsisted under this head is 13 as compared with
the 63 of the previous year, or a decrease of 50 men; and the
charges incurred on their behalf amounts to Rs. 222 as against
Rs. 902.
There have been 70 cases of desertion against 42 cases of the
previous year,—-a state of things that must be accepted as the
inevitable result of the large increased use of the Prince's Dock,
where it is merely a question of walking* ashore at any time.
No deserter has had any consideration shown to him in any
way ; in all cases they were refused admission to the Sailors'
Home as distressed seamen. Many found temporary employment
as stevedores assistants, or worked for their keep on board ves
sels in the Prince's Dock, and finally shipped, very often at less
wages than they deliberately ran away from.
The sum of Rs. 13,051 was deposited for safe custody during
e year, being a decrease of Us. 2,473 as compared with the
previous year s figures of Rs. 15,524 ; increase of remittances
