PRIVATE HELP.
Surprise was expressed this morning by Mr. C. A. Sead-Gowing that there appeared to jiave I>een no preparation for such an emergency as iliad occurred so far as the care of destitute sailors was concerned. "I came upon three men this, morning dressed in the most scanty fashion waiting patiently.in the lounge for. the forces in .Yorkshire Buildings," ■he; said. "No one seemed to be taking any steps to help them." While appreciating the fact that some bodies had been untiring in their efforts to help, he thought that preparations should be male for future similar emergencies. He added that he had personally brought in a stock of clothes this morning and that they had all ton issued before midday.
