Nathan. , , .'INCREASE OP FOREIGN SEAMEN. The recent official returns show to what an extent the British are dependent on foreign seamen for the manning of ships. Thev now number about 25 per cent, of the hand's employed. This tendency to "pay off" and "sign on" at the principal Continental ports under the new Federation Clause" now be-' ing inserted in all articles of agreement will largely increase the foreign element. The clause referred to gives the master the option of taking his crew from the final port of discharge of cargo in the United Kingdom to a port on the Continent, at which port it is alleged the engagement only is terminated. In these days of low freight earnings the rates of wages at' which crews aro shipped on tho Continent, in contrast with the rates , paid at Home, offer a. great inducement to adopt this course. It is to be regretted that > the Shipping Act does not define precisely | when a voyage or engagement ends, and hence tho dissatisfaction of the crews who have hitherto invariably received their wages at a- final discharge port or at an outward loading port in the united Kingdom. The new order of procedure is certainly not popular with seamen, who vainly assert its illegality, whilst being " paid off" abroad most effectually deprives the crews of many of the benefits of those various aids to thrift and frugality, which, in the shape of the savings banks, money orders', and other systems, have long been the most beneficient feature of the work of the Board of Trade as carried on through the agency of tho mercantile marine offices at Home ports. The figures issued by the Marine Department, of the Board of Trade show that during August the number of seamen shipped in foreign-going vessels was 39,880, or an increase of 3955 on tho number shipped in August. 1903. During the eight months of 1904 the number of seamen shipped was 292,616, of whom 44,426 (or 15.2 per cent.) were foreigners. During the corresponding period of 1903 233,438 seamen were shipped, of whom 44.555 (or 15.7 per cent.) were foreigners. Lascars who are engaged in Asiatic ports are not included in these figures. THE WANAKA. The Union Company's steamer. Wanaka left the Bluff yesterday for Auckland with a cargo of grain and produce, and calls at Oamaru and Timaru to complete her loading.
