S. and A .S.S. steamer African Alonarch has a crew of white sailors and Chinese firemen. 31 any tramp vessels which have visited the port lately have been manned by complete Chinese crews. According to the testimony of upwards of twenty lirins of shipowners, the employment of Chinese crews is a little more costly as compared with European, but there is an ultimuto saving because of the efficiency with which the work is clone, more especially in the engine-room. Life in a sailing vessel docs not offer strong allurements to the man before the mast as the captain of the Drammenseren at Dunedin is finding out. He offered to engage the crew of the shipwrecked French ship President Felix Fa ure, but- they decided to return lo France. The Drammenseren is still awaiting a full complement at Dunedin;
