Lying in the port of Londcn just now, awaiting sale by auction, is the sailing ship Mersey, which for some years past has been engaged in i an unusual trade. Her business has been the transport of coolie labourers from Calcutta to the West Indies, an occupation which entails* numerous obligations upon the shipowner in regard to equipment and manning. She would carry a double crew, for example, and four doctors Wooden platforms ranged round the side of the vessel, formed the steeping quarters of her duslcy passengers. By a curious coincidence, Capt<yn Rock, who was appointed to the command of the Mersey when she was launched in the Clyde in 1894, died suddenly after her arrival in London on the completion of her work as a coolie-carrying ship.
