FOR WOMEN FOLK.
FOR WOMEN FOLK. Homely Hints & Dainty Dishes. WITH PARS. INTERESTING TO THE MERE MAN. Never pot shoes near the stove. JDon t dry a wet shoe until you have rubbed it well with a flannel cloth, and then with vaseline. In boiling mea.t for soup stock the meat should be put mto cold water, covering the kettle tightly, and letting the stock simmer gently until the meat falls from the bones. When stewing meat the water should be boil- ing when the meat is put into it. as the heat closes the pore& at once, and thus the meati retains its juicee. A restless child might be prevented from taking many a chill if blanket8 were placed across the bed instead of lengthwise. Nothing is so uncomfortable as a scanty supply ofli bedclothes. A simple remedy for this dis- comfort is to place one blanket lengthwise across the bed. and in this way there is a double advantage of less weight on the ahoulders, and plenty of chance of firm tuck- ing in. Tomato Savoury. Scald three ripe tomatoes, peel them and remove the seeds, bake until tender, and mash through a eieve. Add one ounce of fine bread crumbs, one ounce of grated cheese, two well-beaten eggs, salt and pepper to taste. Have ready some croutons of fried bread. Stir the tomato and egg mixture together in an enamelled saucepan over a clear fire till set. Pile on the croutons, scatter a little chopped parsley on each, and serve at once. Chocolate Loaf Cake. Cream one cup of sugar with half a cup of batter. Add three beaten eggs, keeping the white or one for frosting. Add to the mixture half a cupful of sweet cream, a little flavour- ing of vanilla, and two level teaspoonfuls of baking-powder and a pinch of salt, sifted with enough flour to make an ordinary batter. Grate three spoonfuls of chocolate, and melt by standing the cup in hot water. Add to the batter, stir till smooth, and bake in a moderate oven. Tomato Soup. Tako two quarts of ripe tomatoes, one carrot, one head of celery, three or four slices of beetroot, and three large onions, all sliced; put them in a stewpan with half a pound of butter; let them fry together, keeping the pan shaken one way, then add half a pint of good gravy, and let the whole simmer together till the vegetables are tender and will pulp through a colander. Simmer the put? with three pints more of gravy, and season with ealt and cayenne. A Charming Gown. Very charming is a gown of pale blue crepe de chine for a. young girl. A chic air ia given to it by a. yoke and fall lower part to the sleeves of a deep toned, all-over cream lace, set at rather wide intervals with good-«ized chenille dots. The lower part, of the bodice is brought up in pointed battlements, finished around the edge with several linee of fagot- ing on the lace yolk. The stock is formed of BMQDde bands of the blue joined by fagoting, and the cuffs match, there being a full fall of the lace below between the elbow and the wrist. The skirt has a yoke of bands of blue joined with fagoting, and there are only two panels of inverted points on eacth side of the skirt, the latter formed by rows of fagoting. Motifs in small leaf designs in cream to match j the lace of the yoke and sleeves outline the aide panels at the fagoted lines. Hashed Mutton. The remains of cold roast shoulder or leg of mntton, six. whole peppers, six whole allspice. a faggot of savoury herbs, half a head of celery, one onion, two ounces of butter, flour. Cut the meat in even slices from the bones, trimming off superfluous fat and gristle, chop the bones and fragments of the joint, put them in a. etewpan with the pepper, spice. herbs, and celery, cover with water and sim- mer for one hour; slice and fry the onion a nice pale brown colour in the butter, dredge in flour to make it thick, and add to this the bonee, etc. Stew for a quarter of an hour, strain the gravy, let it cool; then skim off every particle of fat, and put it with the meat into a stewpan. Flavour with ketchup, tomato sauce, or any flavouring that may be preferred, and let the meat gradually warm through, but not boil, or it will harden. To hash meat properly it should be laid in cold gravy, and only left on the fire just long enough to warm through. Russian Wedding Customs. Before the wedding the bride gives a. party to all her friends, to which no gentleman is invited. Instead of the bride's father and mother going to church, a. father and mother are chosen among their acquaintances. The father blesses both bride and bridegroom with the Icona, a. holy image. The mother blesses with bread and salt. The same ceremony is repeated when they return aa husband and wife. The bride goes to church with a friend of the bridegroom; a little boy carriea the Ioona and gives it to the priest. On entering the church the bridegroom is welcomed with & burst of singing (there are no organs in Russia); and on the bride's appearance at the church she is greeted with "Come, White Dove!" and a. loud burst of song. The priest "bids the bride be obedient to her husband, and toying; he bids the hridegroom be his wife's protector and friend. The rings are put in a cap of wine, from which both drink, to signify that they mUØit share happiness and misfor- tune. good and evil together; then the rings are placed by the priest on both bridegroom &$d bride.

SEA TRAGEDIES.I
SEA TRAGEDIES. I Sailors Kitted in Their Bunks. CAST ON A BARREN ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC. Shipwrecked Passengers Huddled on Bare Rocks. The story of the wreck of the Elingamite off New Zealand is one of the most dramatic in the annals of shipping disasters. Already accounts of the ghastly horrors of blood- drinking by some of the survivors have been published, but the complete description as furnished by mail is even more thrilling than the cabled messages suggested. On Sunday morning, November 9, the Elin- gamite was steaming at a slow speed through a fog of exceptional density. At half past ten the passengers, many of whom were lounging and chatting on deck, saw jagged cliffs emerge from the mist, and at the same moment the ship struck the rocks. In less than half an hour the Elingamite had sunk. The total casualties were fifty. The most terrible sufferings and privations were experienced by the survivors who escaped on a half-submerged raft and by those who managed to reach one of the barren islands of the Three Kings Group. A party of sixty- seven landed on a rocky island called the "Great King." They had a cask of brandy, which was carefully shared, and a keg of water. With the sail of the boat on which the party had landed a small tent was constructed, but, as may easily be imagined, very little shelter could be afforded for 67 people. They hunted around among the rocks and caught some crabs, which in most cases were eaten raw. A few wet matchea were discovered, and these were dried by holding them up in the air. With very little firewood, but by burn- ing the cork lifebelts, they managed to keep a small blaze burning. The ladies of the party made some fishing lines with their corset laces tied together, and some bent hatpins served for hooks. They managed with this improvised fishing tackle to get a few blue cod. For two days and two nights they were huddled together on what was practically a ledge of bare rock, from which, had the seas been high, they might easily have been washed. The women and the chil- dren suffered severely from the cold, and when the Zelandia, one of the rescue ships, arrived they were almost dead from expo- sure. Killed in Their Bunks. A dispatch from Boston brings news of a terrible tragedy of the sea. It appears that on Wednesday night the coal schooners Louis B. Crary and Frank A. Palmer collided off Cape Ann. It was pitch-dark at the time, and the utmost confusion prevailed on both ships. The Frank A. Palmer crashed right into the fore part of the other schooner, and the watch sleeping below were all killed in their bunks. Fifteen men escaped1 in boats, and they suffered awful privations from the rough seas, scant food, and little water. They managed with difficulty to keep afloat, and when they were picked up by a passing steamer on Sun- day all were in a most pitiable condition. Three went mad during the four days' expo- sure, and jumped into the" sea and were drowned, while two others were actually frozen to death. Altogether eleven men perished, and, four of the ten survivors are expected to succumb as the result of the privar tions which they underwent.
COLDER WEATHER.
COLDER WEATHER. Forecast for thje Christmas Holidays. Those who intend to spend their Christmas holidays in the courtry. equally with those who will spend them in town, will read with interest the forecast obtained at the Metero- logical Office of cold, dry weather. "Although we do not profess to forecast with invariable accuracy the weather for a longer period in advance than 24 hours." said an official yes- terday evening, we do not anticipate any great change in the present conditions for Christmas Day, the day preceding it, and Boxing Day. A high barometer is generally accompanied by a dry, cold atmosphere. It is not unlikely that it will be colder in Lon- don on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday next. Indications show that there is room for more cold. There is no probability of an old-fashioned Christmas. Fog is more likely than snow, and there will probably be no rain. The coldest Christmas for 30 ytars was that of 1390."

BOXING AT CARDIFF.
BOXING AT CARDIFF. Joe White Meets Yankee Champion. IMPORTANT CONTEST AT THE GRAND THEATRE. Not for some years has eo sumptuous a, bill of fare been presented to the devotees of the "noble art" in South Wales as that arranged by Mr. W. Ecclestone. the celebrated Jolly Jumbo," at the Grand Theatre, Cardiff, yes- terday evening. The array of "talent" was exceptional. and it was not surprising to find the theatre well filled in every part. The piece de resistance of the evening was a twenty-round contest between Joe White, of Cardiff, and Bobby Dobbe. of America. It had taken considerable negotiations to bring the two men together, but a match was definitely made eventually, a purse of £ 100 being offered and accepted and side stakes fiied at £ 50 a-side. Joe White by his defeat of Dave JOE WHITE. Peters, of Treorky, made himself well known at once throughout South Wales, and he enhanced his popularity by his recent victory over Joe Reed, a coloured American, to whom he conceded a couple of stone in weight. Bobby Dobbs, who is also a coloured man. rejoices in the title of lOst. 41b. champion of England, and among his moat notable achieve- ments ranks his defeat of Dick Barge some years ago. Before the two principals entered the ring an exhibition bout of six rounds was given by Jack Connell and Dicky Price, of Cardiff, Connell being declared the winner. Further exhibi- tion sparring was given by Jim Driscoll (Cardiff) and Nat Smith (London); Harry Mansfield (Bristol) and Jim Stiles (London); C. Slattery (Newport) and Kid Davies, the "coloured marvel," of America; and "Boyo" Driscoll (Cardiff) and John Manuel (Cardiff). When the time came for Bobby Dobbs and Joe White to face each other inside the ropes there were evidences of the keenest excite- ment prevailing. White was the taller of the two men, but there was scarcely any difference in weight. White scaling lOst. 5*lb. and the coloured man a couple of pounds more. The officials were: — Referee, Mr. E. A. Humphreys (" Sporting Life"); seconds for White, Harry Mansfield, Jem Driscoll, Jack Connell, and Mike Sullivan; seconds for Dobbs. George Dixon, Harry Kent, and Nat Smith; time- keeper, E. Thomas. In the first couple of rounds the men sparred with great caution, not a blow being struck in the first round. The men opened out in the third round. White putting his left on the nigger's jaw. Dobbs retaliating with two blows on White's head and another u I i M J BOBBY DOBBS. left on the face. In the fourth round Dobbs did most of the leading, but his blows lacked force. White made up somewhat for loss of points with a terrific right over his opponent's heart and a left full 0: the face. Dobbs equalised with a straight blow on White's j jaw and a couple of go- body blows. No damage was done in the sizth round, although Dobbs did most of the leading. White opened the seventh round in great, style, hitting the nigger full in the face and flooring him. This he followed up with three more straight hits, Dobbs being brought to his knees just at the close of the round. Dobbs fought better in the eighth and ninth rounds, and made White shiver. Dobbs continued to lead in the tenth and eleventh rounds, and sent White to his knees once. But, although hitting more frequently than White, there was not so much eteam behind his blows. In the subsequent two rounds both men put a lot of vigour into their work, but there was very little clean hitting. White's face was bleeding freely in the fifteenth round, but the round closed rather in his favour, as also did the next round. In the seventeenth meeting Dobbs opened with a lovely left full on White's mouth, while the next round was about the most even of all. The men opened the nineteenth round with a freshness which indicated their perfect condition, but in the middle of the round they both showed signs of weakness, and did no damage. When it came to the twentieth and last round there was a breath- less silence, and. without wasting time in sparring. White and Dobbs fought for all they were worth. The round was in favour of Dobbs, who had shown better staying powers, a,nd had scored on points. The referee gave his decision as a draw. and the crowd, knowing not whether to applaud or not, remained silent.

NEW EDUCATION ACT. A Liberal Unionist's Protest. —: Mr. Charles Thomas, deputy-chairman of the Midland Railway Company, residing at Bristol, has ceased his connection with the Liberal Unionist party as a protest against the Educa- tion Bill. In 1885 Mr. Thomas, previously a rominent Liberal, joined the Liberal Unionists, and has supported the party organi- sation ever since. Meeting at Abercynon. A public meeting under the auspices of the East Glamorganshire Conservative Associa- tion was held in the Board School, Abercynon, on Mcfcday evening, Mr. F. Bailey presiding. Mr. J. Littlejohn, in the course of an address, gave a historical resume of the education question, and, dealing with the Act, declared that it would strengthen and improve the educational system of the country. (Applause.) —Mr. Waddington. in a vigorous speech, dealt seriatim with the misrepresentations which had been made by the opponents of the Act. In a few years the Radical party would be claiming credit for the Act.—The Chairman invited discussion, and Mr. W. Hopkins asked several questions, which Mr. Waddington satisfactorily answered.—Mr. Hopkins (a local Liberal leader) then asked if Mr. Wadding- ton would meet in public debate on the Edu- cation question Dr. Nicholl, the editor of the British Weekly," and Mr. Waddington replied: "Tea, with pleasure." (Applauses— Mr. Hopkins: Will you debate the question with Mr. Lloyd-George?—Mr. Waddington: Yes. (Applause.)—Mr. Hopkins said he would write those gentlemen, and let the chairman and Mr. Waddington know the result- Mr. A- Blade moved a; resolution in favour of the Education Act. and this was seconded by Mr. W. Harrison.—An amendment was moved by Mr. W. Morgan, which, on being put to the meeting, was defeated by a large majo- rity.
SAXONY SCANDAL.
SAXONY SCANDAL. huture Queen Leaves Her Husband. PRINCE'S RELATIONS WITH AN ACTRESS. A Vienna-telegram states — The Crown Princess Louise of Saxony has I mysteriously disappeared from the house of her parents, the Grand Duke and Grand Duchess of Tuscany, a.t Salzburg. She arrived there from Dresden on a visit in the beginning of December. During the night of December 11 she crept out of the palace, which is situated in a big square at Salzburg, opposite the town-hall, whose chimes are so familiar to thousands of tourist*. Her flight was unobserved, though it is inexplicable how she evaded the sentries placed at each entrance and exit. It is sup- posed that she must have got through a win- dow. She called a cab and drove to the station, and took ticket for Geneva, where she is still I staying. She is said to have left a letter declaring that she will never return to her husband's nor to her parents' home. The secret was kept for ten days. It is reported that 'the Crown Princess of Saxony left her husband on account of his relations with an actress at the Dresden Court Theatre. Finding his open faithlessness in- tolerable. she went to her father's home. The father, however, advised tolerance and for- giveness. The Princess, indignant at the luke- warm support of her father. left his palace. Her brother followed her to show his entire sympathy with her procedure.

INSULTED SOLDIERS.
INSULTED SOLDIERS. Sympathised With, But Fined for Assault. "This is the second case I have had in one week in which civilians have thought proper to insult soldiers. Assaults are the natural consequence." The Westminster stipendiary thus referred yesterday to the prosecution of three privates in the Coldstream Guards- Holt, Tutty, and Mallett—each of whom wore the South African medal and a good conduct badge. Two brothers named McKay, return- ing home from a Chelsea club early on Sun- day morning, met the Coldstreamers, and were said to have started a song reflecting on the Army, and containing an allusion to soldiers "flinging their medals about on their chests." Taking this as a personal insult, the Guardsmen promptly knocked the singers down. In fining each of the trio £5, with the alternative of a month's imprisonment, Mr. Horace Smith said-.—"It is clear that if the soldiers had not been provoked they would not have interfered with the prosecutors. I wish instead of striking blows the soldiers would call the police, and have people who wantonly insult them arrested for conduct likely to provoke a. breach of the peace. If they did that I would deal with the offenders severely." To the officer of the Guards who was in court the magistrate remarked: "You may lay the fact before the authorities that I am not surprised at these men retaliating when insulted, but they must seek other remedies, and not use violence in the streets."

EXECUTION AT HULL.
EXECUTION AT HULL. Murder of a Paramour Expiated. The execution of William Bolton, marine engineer, aged 43. took place this morning at Hull. He was convicted at York Assizes of the murder of Jane Allen a.t Hull on October 18. Bolton was separated from his wife, and was in the habit of visiting Allen. He stayed with her on the-night of October 17, and next morning the woman was found dead, stabbed near the heart, with Bolton lying beside her. He had attempted suicide by cutting his throat. It is supposed that he became jealous when Allen told him she was getting married. After his condemnation Bolton was visited by his friends and relatives, and seemed cheer- ful. He made no reference to his crime. His interview, with his children was very affect- ing, the murderer showing extreme distress. Bolton gave no trouble to the prison officials, and maintained a fairly good appetite to the end.

X-COUNTRY NOTES.
X-COUNTRY NOTES. "Packing" For Cross- Country Teams.* AMATEUR ATHLETIC ASSO. RECORDS. Newport is a most fortunate town in possess- ing so many good athletes, and it is to be envied. They are always to the front, no matter whether it be football, cricket, run- ning, gymnastics, or any other branch of sport. The decisive way in which the Newport Har- riers beat the Cardiff Harriet in their match augurs well for their chance in again winning the Welsh Cross-country) Championship. It appears to me the secret of their success in this particular branch of sport is greatly due to their fine "packing" tactics. Of course, I do not overlook the fact thrft they possess good individual merit above the average, but there can be no question as to the success of good "packing," and Newport seem to fully recognise this, and, by the way, so also do the Roath (Cardiff) Harriers. As this is a point I have not mentioned pre- viously, it might not come amiss if I give a few hints on the subject to some of the elubs. Oxford's fine win over Cambridge the other day was in a great degree due to their superb "packing," and whenever this is carried out properly it is bound to have a good effect. To be able to bring this about it is necessary that a team should train regularly together, so that they may get to know ch other's powers; and it is astonishing to find how soon runners of varying pace can be levelled up, and how the slower runners can be improved by continually being pulled out by the more speedy ones. In team racing, (and this, I think, is one of the chief attractions of cross-country run- ning) to assure anything like success, it is essential that members should keep well to- gether, as it has one great effect, via., encou- ragement, and that is greatly needed, espe- cially in cases where there is an inclination to "give in" and take a rest or slow up. Another thing for teams to bear in mind is the fact that it is generally the team which leads at the end of the first three and four miles that wins, so when training accustom yourselves to get over the first part of your course at a good pace and keep together as much as possible. Of course, if you are fortu- nate enough to possess a man far and away superior to the rest of your team, do not sac- rifice him and keep him back, as it is nice to boast over the favoured ones if you possess more than a fair share of "crocks"; but, as I before said, "it's your level lot that wins." There are a good many who think that, if they run the first three or four miles fast, as I suggest, they will be unable to stick the dis- tance, but that is an erroneous idea. When pro- perly fit one is capable of a. lot more than one thinks, and once you settle down with the rest of your team to a good pace you will nnd no more difficulty to finish the course than when you "jogged" the first part. Once you let a man put any great distance between you, you^ijl find it next to impossible to catch him, as, even if you come fairly strong at the finish, and the other just manages Jto keep going, there is little chance of catching him, as after doing five or six miles across country it requires more t,han an ordinary amount of pluck to set.a.bout a. man with a lead of 300 yards and only a couple of miles to go. Mr. TOM BAGGS, Vice-captain of the Newport Harriers, (Inadvertently left out last week, when an account of his career was given.) .).> The Northampton ground has again been chosen as the venue of next year's Amateur Athletic Association Championship Meeting. There is A movement on foot for the holding of all championship meeting in London, amd this will, no doubt, form the subject of a serious debate at the annual general meeting of the Amateur Athletic Association. There can be no doubt that London is the most suitable place, as it is more central and accessible than most places. The Southern Counties Amateur Athletic Association have recommended that the fol- lowing records be adopted:— One mile (4min. 16 4-6sec.) by J. Binks, at the Amateur Athletic Association Champion- ships, July 5. Thirteen miles (lh. 9min. 27 l-5sec.) by F. Appleby, at Herne Hill, July 21. Fourteen miles (1h. 14min- 52seo.), by F. Appleby, at Herne Hill, July 21. Fifteen miles (lb. 20min. 4 3-5eec.), by F. Appleby, at Herne Hill, July 21. It is interesting to note that Appleby's time is the best best on record, either amateur or professional. The annual meeting of the National Cross- country Union has been called for December 27, at the Morley Hotel, Manchester. The proposal of the Irish Association, that an international meeting be promoted, is on the agenda for discussion, so there seems, after all, a likelihood that Ireland will get an answer some time; but even supposing the answer is forthcoming, the secretary might have acknow- ledged the receipt of tne Irish letter. The National Cross-country Championship is practically fixed for March 7, at Haydock Park Racecourse, Newton-le-Willows, Man- chester. The secretary of the Cardiff Harriers has sent me a. window bill containing a list of races the club will run off on Boxing Day morning. Amongst other things they include a Christmas handicap and five miles cham- pionship, all starting from scratch, with a sealed handicap. There will also be a laoyds. handicap and 440yds. handicap. The club undoubtedly caters well for its membera. On Boxing Day the Swansea Athletio Club will hold a paper chase over the Clyne Valley and Killay district. On Boxing Day the Roath Harriers hold a pa-per chase from headquarters at eleven a.m., and on Saturday, the 27th inst., will indulge in the luxury of a walk. Members are requested to turn up at headquarters at three p.m. sharp: R. W. Wadsley, the 220yds. English cham- pion, has left England for New York. J. D. Marsh. late of the Newport Harriers, crea,ted a record on Saturday by winning the Salford Harriers' Ten-mile Championship for the fifth time. On Saturday he defeated such cracks as Sid Robinson, Barker, Ashton, Pickup, and J. T. Thompson. Marsh's time was 55min. 51sec. What a loss he has been to the Newport Harriers! I take this opportunity of wishing my readers the compliments of the season, and I trust the new year will prove a happy one to all.

Dr. Jones, in reply to Mr. Sydney, said the children were now doing very well. Detective Summers spoke to having made inquiries with reference t oinsurance found in the possession of the accused. They appeared to be out of date, and no benefit would, therefore, be obtainable. A relieving officer named Lowman, of Edmonton, said he knew the accused when they lived at Sweet Briar-walk. Edmonton, in October, 1899. At that time Mrs. Moyler said she had three children under her care, and that she received the following sums in respect of the under-mentioned children: — Dora, JE12; Hilda, JE12; Harold, £21. Asked as to the condition of the children at that time. witness described it as being "splendid A Great Change. He visited the house where t-lie nine children had been accommodated a week or so back, and found the condition of the little ones very different. He included the three children already mentioned, and considered there was an absence of proper care. Mrs. Scott spoke to living next door to the house in which the defendants resided. She had occasion to complain of the incessant cry- ing, and was told one of the children had been ill, and that it would be taken away later. The accused, who reserved their defence, were committed for trial.
CITY TRAGEDY.
CITY TRAGEDY. Kitty Byron Granted a Reprieve. The Press Association telegraphs that Messrs. Humphreys and Son, solicitors, to-day, er- ceived a notification from the Home Office that Emma Byron, who was sentence4 to death for the murder of Reginald Baker, a stockbroker, had been respited. It was thought from the first that the capital sentence would not be carried into effect, but through the efforts of Messrs. Humphreys, a. petition for a. reprieve was speedily signed by upwards of 20,000 per- sons. Messrs. Humphreys and Son, solicitors for Emma Byron, received the following letter from the Home Secretary to-day: — "Gentlemen,—With reference to the petition transmitted by you on behalf of Emma Byron, who is lying under sentence of death in his Majesty's Prison at Holloway, I am directed to acquaint you that the Secretary of State has felt warranted, under all the circumstances, in advising his Majesty to respite the capital sentence with a view to commutation to penal servitude for life.—I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, "CHAS. S. MURDOCH."
VICTIMS OF INFLUENZA.
VICTIMS OF INFLUENZA. The Disease Spreading over the Country. Influenza is slowly spreading in London, and it is feared that the Registrar-General's returns of deaths due to the complaint, which have been steadily mounting of late, will this week show a. further increase. Influenza, however, is by no means confined to London. In Belfast and in Birmingham the complaint has been prevalent in epidemic form for some weeks. At Edinburgh during November ther-) were six deaths directly attributable to influenza, and ten in the three weeks ending December 20. In Cardiff the complaint is of a serious type, the symptoms being akin to those of rheumatic fever. Many places are almost entirely free from the disease, but the general reports seem to show that it is spreading by degrees all over the country.

0- WORN-OUT BRITISH, SEAMEN. To the Editor of the "Evening Express." Sir,-Permit me through the medium of your columns to ask on behalf of poor aged, worn-out British seamen for the urgently needed help of your numerous readers. There are hundreds of "England's ancient mariners" wko will have to face an almost lireless grate and a scanty cupboard this Christmas, and the Royal Alfred Aged Mer- chant Seamen's Institution has hoisted the signal of distress on behalf of these poor old tars, and anxiously awaits the response. The "Royal Alfred" is the national and unique haven for aged and destitute British seamen, and 1.800 deserving old sailors have been permanently relieved during the last few years on earth, either by a small pension or a comfortable home. We want to throw out the life-line to these old sailors shipwrecked on life's ocean, and we plead for help.—I am, &c., J. BAILEY WALKER, Secretary. 58, Fenchurch-street,, E.O.
