CARING FOR SAILORMEN

LORD ISLINGTON ON MISSIONS TO SEAMEN. t Speaking at the opening of the Mission to Seamen's bazaar yesterday, Plis Excelloncy said that tho need of such an institution was well-known, and it had now become ono of the recognised forces of tho city of Wellington to-day.

(Applause.) It was singularly appropriate that there Bhould be t.uch institutions, as no nation in the world employed bo many men in its uiaritnne service as Britain.
