"THEY'RE BRITISH"
SEAMEN WHO SAIL SEAS Seamen appreciated motor rides and visits to the parks as much as any other visitors to the town, said the Rev. F. Hart, assistant curate at St. Mary's Church, at his farewell at New Plymouth last night. "Remember the men on the ships that come to your port and make them feel at home," he added. You will ftnd them grateful for your hospitality." . . 1 . He was not forgetting what the Mission to Seamen was doing at New Plymouth, Mr. Hart continued, when he said that upon his appointment as honorary chaplain to the Flying Angels Mission he had found there was scope for much work among the men that travelled round the world with their lives in their hands so that England might have enough food to ,'I usually start in the galley^ and work through the men's quarters, and if there is time I go to see the captain," said Mr. Hart. "They are wonderful and there are many sincere Christians among them. They may appear to be a bit rough when they come ashore but, above all, they're British."
