ABSURDITY OF LAW. By refusing to comply with the British law the master of the Yugoslavian steamer Bakar, after paying £IOO fine for having failed to take precautions to prevent his cargo of wheat from shifting, was able to make an extra £I,OOO profit on the one voyage. This represents a very fine percentage per annum on the cost of the steamer, which was sold to the Yugoslavian flag in September, 1931, for £3,500. When under the British flag she had a crew of thirty-four, and had to comply with the Merchant Shipping _ Act. Now, under her new ownership she has a crew of twenty-six, and can come through a court charge with flags flying, and £I,OOO additional profit. The captain of the Bakar stated in the Birkenhead Police Court that_ he knew he was bound to the United Kingdom when loading commenced at the port of Constanza. He had about 2,000 tons of bulk maize in the ’tween decks and would have _ needed 35,000 bags for the maize, which would have run him into a cost of £875. In addition to from £3OO to £4OO for the cost of labour! the total expenses would have been £1,175. He therefore thought j it would be far better to pay the £IOO fine than to pay the £1,175. As there -was nothing else to be done, the court fined him £IOO and £25 costs. VESSELS IN WIRELESS CALL.
