Forty men are being fed daily in the shed kindly provided by the Harbour Board, and thirty-six men are sleeping there. The arrangements for assisting these unfortunate men are being supervised by Miss M. Weymouth, London representative and New Zealand organising secretary of the British and Foreign Sailors’ Society.
