The following letter from our good Bishoj), will, w^ feel sure, bo enough to encourage you : Quebec, May 2nd, 1877, My Dear Mr. Sykes, I have read with great interest the letters and descriptions which give so vivid a picture of your work amongst the sailors in the Port of Quebec. And I remark with regret and surprise that the subscription list is a gra- dually declining one. With regret, because if the dimuni- tion goes on, it can only end in the extinction of a good work very necessary to be done, and which your narrative shews to have been well done. Y^ith surprise, because, knowing as I do the generous readines? of the people of Quebec to help in all good works, anything like a languid interest on their part in the cause of the sailor and the sailors friend, is to mo unaccountable. Or at least I can only account for it by supposing that the seeming apathy is but inadvertence. And in this belief I cherish the hope that the information you have given, will bring the remedy in its train. I am. My dear Mr. Sykes, Faithfully yours, J. W. Quebec. The Service of the Port Chaplain, Acknowledqed BY THE Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty. i! Whenever any of H. M. ships of war come to the port of Quebec, the services of the Port Chaplain are alv^ays at their command. Their api>i-eciation of his humble services will be seen in the following reply to a letter written by the Lord Bishox) of Quebec, in behalf of the Port Chaplain ; '* Royal Alfred," at Halifax,^ 2Srd September, 18G9. ( My Lord, — With reference to your letter to Sir Rodney Mundy, applying- for a remuneration to the Rev. J. S. Sykes, for spiritual services rendered to the crews of H. M. Ships Barracouta, Constance, and Philomel, in the months of May, June, July, and August, 1868, the Lords Com- missioners of the Admiral ity have acquainted mo that, although the Regulations in the addenda to the Admiralty Instructions do not apply to Foreign Stations, yet, under the circumstances, as regards the number of men benefitted by these services, and the exemplary manner in which they were performed, their Lordships have been pleased to grant a gratuity of iI45 to Mr. Sykes, as a remuneration for his services ; and the Naval Storekeeper at Halifax has been directed to pay him that sum. I have the honor to bo. My Lord, Youi Lordship's most obedient servant, GrEORGE G. WiLLABY, Vice- Admiral. The Right Reverend The Lord Bishop of Quebec.

I am a vory bad journalist, therefore never keep ajournal. To cook a report is not in my line, for, I find those who make the greatest noise on paper, generally do the least work. I am contented to go on from year to year, '• TclliuK tlic old, old story, Of unseon things a1)0ve ; Of Jesus and His Glory, Of Jesus and His Love." Who can tell how many out of the twenty thousand seamen, who come annually to the Port of Quebec, will take back with them this old, old story — and its fruits may be a thousand-fold. What a religious boon is the office of Port Chaplain, both to our seamen and their friends at home. The clergyman filling it should not only be recognized as a necessary and important officer, but should (in part at least) be paid by the Government. II i 'I* ■■'^ I?. f i . ( Look at tho natuio and character of his work. During- the shipping season in each year, he is in constant commu- nication with the Shipping- Ollice, the Watcv Police, the various Consuls, and the Coroner. Yes ! the Coroner ! The year 1874 is to be much remembered for the number of sad cases of drowning, both amon^, also Mrs. McLean and daughter, and Mr. and Mrs. Wikon, and all inquiring friends. I need v^rite no more, as I hope to see you soon, when you will hear all you want to know from me, and hope you will manage along as well as you can till then. So T remain, Dear wife, Yours truly, James McKinlay N. B. — I will write from Quebec, and let you know the vessel I am coming home in. I addroos this letter to Mrs. Jeffery's old address, hoping- it will lind you. I hope you got the other letters all right, J. McK. With a joyous heart he i)osted the letter, took his seat in the cars, and was soon on his way to Quebec. It is no stretch of fancy to imagine the happy thoughts playing in the mind of this sailor, while the train rushes on to its destination. The good ship he is going to join. Homeward bound once more with a little store of gold, to which he will add the pay of his voyage home ; this will gladden the heart of his losing wife. What a happy meeting it will be. Six weeks from the date of that letter and the good ship will be in the Clyde, and these fond hopes will be realized. Old Quebec is in sight, and soon the train is at the station ; the (x. T. ferry boat has landed our sailor friend on the Quebec side of the St. Lawrence. He will leave his lug- gage at ihe station for the present ; he has the checks all vight, and will go to O'Connell's his old boarding-house, till he can get a ship bound for the Clyde. He is a little fatigued with the journey, but a night's rest will set him all right. It is Saturday, and on Monday he will go for his luggage. Thus he planned for the future and retired for the night. '• JTii]*])}' the m.an who soos a God employed In all the good and ill that chequers life." It is Trinity Sunday, and ihe last day of the merry month of May. The church bells rang out their musical invitation to Grod's Holy Temple, and thousands of voices were sending up their prayers to heaven, in which " all that travel by land or by water," have a share in the bless- ings flowing from the Throne of Grrace. Is our sailor among the worsbip;iers ? No; he has been suddenly o w : ; ^'■'t Mi I'' 10 called aloft ; the heart so full of love, hope and home has ceased to heat ; the hand that wrote the loving letter to his wife is cold in death. While seated at the table in his room, with a book before him, a 1 rother sailor, who was with him at the time, saw a sudden change coming over him and wi-iit to his assistance, and in a few minutes Ifr. Ahern, who happened to be coming that way, was in attendance, but the spirit had taken its happy llight. An inventory v/as taken at once of all his effects, &c. After the inquest, came the " Coroner's "Warrant to bury .Tames McKinlay, Seaman of the Ship ' Limerick Lass,' who died suddenly of heart disease." The burial of a sailor is always a touching scene, whether it be in the presence of a whole shii)'s comx)any, where manly hearts heave with love for the shii">-mate who sleeps beneath the Union Jack, that covers the colHn, borne by friendly hands to his last resting-place ; or a funeral with- out a mourner, save the Port Chaplain, who, in such a case becomes a connecting-link between the departed and the friends at home. Having no knowledge at the time of the proper person to whom to communicate the particulas of the above case, I had to wait. At last, tw^o letters were handed to me from the Superior Court— one from England, and the other from Scotland. I have since received the third from Ireland. All three addressed to the British Consul, Quebec. Surely the people in the Old Country take us to be foreigners, but we will pardon their ignorance and w^ill show that we are British, without the Consul. These letters were handed to me, not that the^olhce of Port Chaplain is on a par vrith, or is in any way similar to that of a consd, but because they contained matter of great importance to the friends of sailors at hOme, 11 The following letter is from Scotland, and is connected with the preccdii]g case : — Orecnoc/c, 22nil Jul?/, 1874. 20, Brisbane Street. IIeu B. Majesty's Consul, Quebec. Deak Sir, — It has been reported here, that a seaman — John McGreday, or McKinlay — died in .Mur^>hy's, or McConnoll's lodging-house in June last, some said suddenly and others suspect foul means. AYoukl you make, or cause some enquiries to bo made, and report to me, as several families hero claim kindred or rclationshii^ to him. One says he is her son, and had just come down from the Lakes, and having some money ; another says he is her husband, and came from New York to get a run home, and that his first name is James, Any information you can give will be thankfully received, by Honoured Sir, Yours, resi^ccLfully, Donald Brotciiie, Seamen's Chaplain, Greenock, Scotland. The above letter opened a corresiiondence betw^een the Seamen's Chaplain at Greenock, and the Port Chaplain, Quebec, in behalf of the widow of a seaman. The next letter came addressed Rev. J. S. Sykes, Port Chaplain, Quebec. The following is an extract : Greenock, Scotland, 12lh October, 1874. Dear Sir, — I beg leave to hand you the papers of Mrs. James McKinlay, whose husband died in Quebec, on the 31st May last. ^ ■I T I S !1 mi 12 There is no doubt but that she is the real widow of the late James McKinlay. I enclose a certificate from our Magis- trate, D. Campbell, Esq., and a cortilicate from the Minister of the Parish of Greenock. Also the last letter James McKinlay, sent to his wife from New York, which will be very satisfactory. We feel much obliged to you for your attention to this matter. You will be doing good service to the widow if you will kindly send her the things and money, &c. You may send her letter to my care as every body here knows me, and there will be no danger of her money going astray. I am, Dear Sir, Yours most respectfully, Donald Bkotciiie, Seamen's Chaplain, Greenock. 1 i.l:f Now there is a right and a wrong way of doing every- thing, and the business to be transacted in behalf of this poor widow must be by legal instruments. The papers I received w^ere simply an identilication of the proper i)erson to whom the effects of the late James KcKinlay belonged, but did not give me power to act in the case. I had therefore to write for the power of Attor- ney, hence another delay. The Coroner having all the eilects in his i)ossession, this instrument was necessary to authorize him to give them up ; and me to receive them and send them home. February^ 1875. Power of Attorney by Mrs. Flora McKinlay. Came under the seal and signature of RoB'^RT Neill, Notary Public and Provost and Chief Magistrate of Greenock. ft 18 The balance sheet, the watch and chain, and the money, were sent home by the first mail for England, in March, 1875. The chest and bag will be forwarded by one of the Greenock ships in the spring. " A sailor's chest. One of the many pleasures in the life of a sailor is that of overhauling his chest, a sailor calls it overhauling his donkey ; and on long voyages this is done over and over again ; and there is a charm about it that none but sailors understand. I could spin such a yarn about this operation that would bring you down upon your knees ])esicle a shipmate and make you thrust your hcv-xd with his into the chest, where everything you see has a tongue that tells of home and all the loved ones, as he turns np one thing after another — from a photograph of his mother, sister, sweetheart or wife, the love letter, &c., to the Book of Books — the Bible, But this is not my task just now. I only want to give you a scene from real life, where the sailor's chest is ready for sea. A loving heart moves the hand to write in a copy of the New Testament, the following name and date : — James McKinlay, March 8th, ISQl. This precious book is carefully and prayerfully put into the chest by an unknown hand. Two days latter, and the chest, with its owner, is on board the shii^. The book is discovered, and the following entry made under his name : " Found this book in my chest on the 10th day of March, when overhauling my chest. I expect it ws put in by mother or sister. The T.bove was copied by me, March 10th, 1875. Eleven years James McKinlay kept this treasure through storm and calm. f ■ < !:f,.: \l { 14 MRS.

Inland Revcnii Stanij), 22nd March, 1875. I hereby certify that the above is Mrs. McKinlay's mark on receiving the property. Donald Brotchie. Dear Friend-Brother, and fellow Labourer, I am request- ed by Mrs. McKinlay to give you her best thanks for the great interest you have taken in her affairs ; she is very very grateful. I have to add in haste that I have been sorely bereaved. My dear Wife, Mary, died on Tuesday last, after three days' slight illness. Her last words were "I am safe in the arms of Jesus." She was not mine only — but a loan, a precious loan for twenty years ; and being so long, I was fain to think she was a loan not to be returned, at least, in my day ; she was a model woman, her name being Mary. Our minister here :.. I avcd. three ■in the 15 preached a sermon to a large congregation. Improving her death, from the Tenth St. Lnke, verse 39: "She had a sister called Mary, which also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His "Word." Pray for me that I may be directed and more thoroughly devoted to our Lord Jesus Christ. l]x('usc me writing more at present ; I will write again soon, and tell you ]>y what ship to send the chest. I am, dear Friend, Yours atfectionately, Donald Brotciiie. This correspondences has linked the ports of Greenock and Quel)oc together in the great and good work of care for the souls of our seamen. It has begotten a common sympathy betw^eon the two Chaplains. I am no longer addressed as "Iler B. Majesty's Consul," nor by the formal "De:i,v Sir," but by the brotherly appellation of "Dear Friend, Brollior and Fellow-Laborer." " What liiiukri Christian unity ?

J-i il'»'i ;' h ' A SAD BUT TRUE STOrvY. I havo just told you about a sailor who died three thou- sand miles from his wile and friends, and how salutary the oflicG of the Port Chaplain is in such a case. I have now' a very touching story to relate, where the liusband and wife are together in the same ship. In the month of March, 1874, a young couple w^hose hearts had become; one in true love, now resolved to hav(^ their affections united for life by Ihe holy banns of matri- mony. Being members of the Church of England, they went to a church in London, England, and became "Man and Wife together" (I like that word "togeiher.") They began to plan for the future. The man w-as a Shiji Steward, and his wife the daughter of l)usiness people in London. They reasoned thus : — They will take a voyage together to Quebec, and when they return homo to London, they will open a shop, and with due attention to business, they expect to have their share in the successes of life. They brave the dangers of the sea together, togeiher they w^ork on board the good ship "Mizpah," in the cnpacity of steward and stewardess. They have reached the Port of Quebec,. all well. The outw^ard voyage ended, the anchor let go, the ship made snug in her berth— a little above the Grand Trunk Kail way Station, on the Levis side of the river. While she is taking in her cargo for the homew^ard voyage, the usual round of scraping, caulking, painting and general cleaning is going on. In all this work of beautifying, our young couple take their part. 17 All is life and activity on board. The steward is jUst going to polish the bnisswork in the cabin. I can fancy I see him walking on the deck towards the cabin, with a light stop, and hoar him humming some well-known tune, lor these mon are generally very cheerful fellows. But what is the matter ? He has fallen down at the cabin door ; did ho slip ? No ; he is dead ! The loving wife is now a sorrowful widow. The Hag is half-mast high. The Coroner again sonds his warrant to bury William Grainger, who died suddenly of heart-disease, on the 22nd day of August, 1874, on board the ship "Mizpah." Then follows the burial, on the 24th of August. Within six months from her wedding-day, this young widow stands beside the grave of him she loved so well, and weeps her bitter tears. But we are "not to be sorry, as men without hope, for them that sleep in Jesus." Captain F. G. Cook, like a true hearted sailor, among the many kind acts he did to comfort and help this poor widow, gave her her choice either to return home in the ship, or to try hor fortune in Canada. Mr. E. H. Duval, very kindly offered to give her employment in his family. She asked my advice and choose the latter for a time. Just one month after the above, and on the same day of the month, is another case equally sad. It is that of Captain John Henry Edwards. He had only been married a short time, and his young wife like the wife of the steward, has braved with her husband the dangers of the sea, and now the ship is in the Port of Quebec, and in a few days will be ready for sea again. It is the twenty-first day of September. The captain and his wife have retired to the cabin for the [night. Now comes the sad part of the story. The captain sleeps his last sleep. Try to realize if you can the dreadful l)osition of this young wdfe in the cabin of a ship with her dead husband. Who can fathom the depth of grief at such 3 It ;: Im , i.ii 18 a lime as this ? Iloro the words of prayer in our beautiful Litany, seem to force their way to the lips and for once at least the lu'art is made to go with the words : "From sudden death," "Good Lord deliver us." " Teaili 1110 to live, th.it I may dit'd Tlio f,'ravc as little as my lifd ; To (lio, that this vile body may IUho glorious at the a.vful day." Once more a Hag is seen half-mast high. Once more /he Coroner issues his warrant, and John Henry Edwards, aged forty-one yairs. Among seafaring men, however, to scull is to drive a boat onward with one oar, worked like a screw over the stern. You will now understand how wo are working our way through the rough w^aters. But we had nearly an accident. The wind sent the spray over us, a wave struck the boat, ho missed his stroke and nearly went overboard. This made our young sailor from tlie "Lanarkshire" say, "There is quite a Tilbury on." Any one who knows Tilbury Fort in Essex, on the north bank of the Thames, opposite to Gravesend, England, when they remember the kind of sea there .is at this part of the river Thames in rough weather, will understand what is meant by a "Tilbury." At this time we were trying hard to reach the steps at the south T i. ( I'i' l; I- 1 ' ? 20 oml of the Breakwater, and \.hon within a Jew yards (Ins wind and the current toi,n»ther proved too strong", so wc had to n-ivo it up and take the west side to the norlli end. Hero a U\dder was lowered, havinj^- oiummhI in the boat and the other resting against the whari' alxmt lilteen feet i'roni the water at the time, without any safe means to hold Ihe boat while wo went up, but wc did get up without an accident. The good-natured sailor was mate oi' the ship at the wharf, and alter all this hard work of scidling us over refused to take any remuneration, Imt seemed glad to do a good turn to a brother sailor. Dr. Boswell was just about to return to the oily when I reached the ship. "Peace be to this ship, and lo all thai sail in her." We enter the Captain's cabin, Ihe Captain is lying in his berth, the second mate and the steward are there, the lamps are lighted, and everything that is needful to give comfort to a sick and dying man is there, with kind hearts and willing hands to administer them. After prayers, ^c., we kept watch together, giving the Captain* his medicine, &c. I had to w^ait each interval of (piiet to converse wdth him, and when I said Captain, do you know that you are dying ? The true character of a sailor came out in his reply. In admitting the truth he said : — "But we must have a good heart and pull through." There is a volume in that expression, Have a good heart and pull through. There is no fear in it, but it is full of trust, faith and hope. St. John says, "There is no fear in love ; but perf«ct love casteth out fear ; because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love." At last I saw a change coming over him ; a jirayer that God would receive his soul went up, and with that prayer the Captain's soul ascended to Heaven. 21 ; tlui I WO ond. iiutl Iroiii 1 the it an X the i over do u hen I II that.

With roferenoo to tho sextant, of which you speak, I should bo oxcecdiiigly obliged if you would kindly Ibrwurd it by any ship coming to London, and if you would write and adviso me of the same, I will defray any exi)onse which may be incurred. Trusting that you and yours are all well. I remain, Dear Sir, Yours most respectfully, William Lu(»a. In the above letters is the dilUoulty. The Will gives the sextant to Mr. Lugg, to pay a debt, while Captain Tindale is left to pay for the sextant. The Port Chaplain put these gentlemen in correspondence with each other and the fol- lowing is the result : — 5, Utackhci.'h 'iuad, Greenioich, S. E., Sept, 22nd, 187G. My Dkar Sir, — Many thanks for your letter containing Post Office order for two pounds sterling. Mr. Lugg is a friend of mine as well as the late Mr. liawlins. Mr. Lugg had an advance note from him for je7, payable at my owners', but as Mr. Rawlins was only seven days on board the ship, both Rawlins and Lugg thought it would not l)o paid ; my owners however cashed it for Mr. Lugg when I came home, go he is i)aid in full. I was security for tho l^rice of the sextant, and the maker, Mr. Wm. Barrett, will take it back, and I shall be free. You can cither send the sextant to Mr. Lugg, or to Mr. Barrett, Optician, West India Dock Road. Thanking you for all the trouble you have taken in this matter and with kind regards. I remain yours faithfully, C. S. Tindale. To the Rev. J. S. Sykes, Quebec. :,-i-.^^J^''l-^ !.,: ■ ^ .ft:;'^^'\4^^ J '• . il H .-ii "^ 86 96, Govgh street, Poplar, September 21ih, 1876. Dear Sib,^Iii reply to your note I bog to inform you that \. have seen Captain Tindale, respting the sqxtant, and if you will kindly forward the same as suggested by Cap- tain Tindale, it will be all right. Thanking you for the trouble you have taken. I remain, yours respectfully, "William Lugg. To the Rev. J. S. Sykes. The f extant was forwarded by " Canadian Express Com- pany." Then came the following : — 5, Blackhealh Road, Greenwich, Oct. Zlst, 1876. My Dear Sir, — Mr Lugg has received the sextant lately, together with poor Rawlins's certificate. Every- thing is settled satisfactorily. Mr. Lugg joins me in grate- ful thanks for all the trouble you have taken in the matter. I remain, Dear Sir, Yours sincerely, C. S. Tindale. Rev. James S. Sykes. The true spirit and character of the sailor come out in all its native innocence in Cai)tain Tindale's letters. Mr. Rawlins and Captain Tindale, ha"\ ing braved the dangers of the sea together for nine long years, knew each other too well to have any suspicion of wrong.

Dear Sir, — I received your kind but rather unexpected letter on the 23rd inst. I am very sorry for poor Rawlins ; I have no doubt he suffered very much before he died, I have seen Mr. Lugg, and he had got the letter you sent to him. I suppose you know that Mr. Rawlins was in debt to Mr. Lugg, and my mother ; it was very honorable of him to think about sending the things home to those to whom he was in debt. The "Enoch Train" is on her road to Quebec. I did not join her this time. I left her in Glasgow and came to London. I am going to school to pass for second mate, so I will not be in Quebec this year, and very likely I will never go there again, because I do not like it ; but if ever I do come to Quebec by chance, I will come and see you and thank you for your kindness towards me. Bat as regards the effects of Mr. Rawlins, the Shipping Office authorities must send them to London ; it is a com- pulsory thing for them to send things to their proper des- tination. If you will be kind enough to see the Shipping Master about it, and let me know when they are coming, I shall be very thankful. I remain, yours truly, Thomas Walsh, To the Rev, J. S. Sykes. The Mate's chest and two bags were sent home from the Shipping Office. 88 Letter No. 2. Rev. James ^Sykes. 8, Brunsioick Road, Dec. 31, 1876 Dear Sir, — I write these few lines to inform you of the circumstances under which I am placed. Two bags have arrived in London on board the ship " Pretty Jemima." They are at present laying at the Shipping Ofiioe, Tower Hill; they refuse to give them up to me unless I can pro- duce sufficient proof of my claim to them. I should feel greatly obliged to you if you would send me by return a written order signed by you, asking for delivery of the two bags. There should also have been a chest sent, but it has not come. "Would you kindly see that it is sent, if you have not already done so ? Dear Sir, my son informed me, before leaving 1 >me, that there was <£6 laying in the Shipping Office due to Mr. Rawlins, which was to go towards paying his debts. He lived at my house for three months before going to Quebec, during- which time T found him in everything, and did not receive one-hali' wl u was due to me. I think I have the best claim of any one to whatever he had when he died. Dear Sir, would you please to inform me whether the money should be i^aid in London or Quebec ; if in London, to whom ehould I apply for it ? Dear Sir, your letter of November 3rd to hand. I re- ceived the keys of the chest all right, and for which I am very much obliged. If I cannot get sufficient x)roof shortly, the things will be given to the Board of Trade, and I shall lose them altogether. Apologizing for the trc-b^i' I have given you, and trust- ing you will kindly take t:. :^ itter up. I remain, very respectfully yours, For Ellen Walsh, W. C. (Answered 18th January, 1877.) r 1] I 8 39 corUespondence. It would be impossible, in this branch of the Port Chaii- lain's work, to over-estimate the amount of good done in corresponding with the friends of the sailor who has coiled up his ropes, and found in cur beautiful cemetery a haven of rest, with many a brother sailor whose *' soul has gone aloft." THE SHIP " IRENE" — DEATH OF THE FIRST MATE. Last fall, the ship " Irene" cleared, got ashore in a snow storm, put back, and left Quebec (in tow) about the 17th November. During the time of the ship's trouble, Mr. W. J. Williams, iirst mate, caught a severe cold, which brought on inflammation of the lungs, from which he died on the eighteenth day of November, 1876, in the Marine Hospital. Mr. W. Ellis, butcher, came in just in time to kneel down with me while " wo humbly commended the soul of our dear brother into the hands of a faithful Crcotor." His soul took its happy flight. Norva Nevin, Caernarvonshire, N. Wales, January 2nd, 1877. Dear and Reverend Sir, — I beg leave, on behalf of the widow of the late Mr. Williams, Mate of the " Irene," to thank you with all my heart for your very kind and most precious attention to him in his illness and death. She will never forget your services towards the well-being of his soul. May our gracious Lord spare you for many many years to come for such a glorious service to others. I was informed that you procured him a New Testament in his own lan- guage ; what a precious gift. I have the honor to be yours, E. James, Independent Minister. Rev. J. S.

M St. James says : " To him that knoweth to do good and doeth it not, to him it is sin." Impelled by this text, I make no apology for an attempt at the accomplishment of a great public good by showing the want of A SMALL-POX HOSPITAL — TO KEMOVE A DANOER FROM THE MARINE HOSPITAL. I am not going to charge any officer or Board of Manage- ment with want of precaution or any kind of neglect, for I know that within the last fourteen years much has been done by the Board to prevent contagion, by removing the small-pox patients from the main building to what is called the sheds, in the rear. The wards are very clean, airy, and comfortable ; yet, owing to these sheds being in too close proximity to the main building, they are really an evil ; and such an evil, that the Government at Ottawa, who have the whole control of the Marine Hospital at the port of Quebec, should take the matter up and find a remedy. The only space vvhere the convalescent patients ought to have the benefit of the sweet breeze of heaven and drink in the invigorating fresh air, is between the rear of the main building and the froi. I. of the small-pox sheds, where with a N, W. wind, ihey get the full benefit of all the variolous poison the small-pox cases can supply. From what we know of this dreadful disease, we can say without fear of contradiction that there is probably no disease so contagious as small pox. Br. Haygarth states iix (1793) that, during his long atten- tion to this subject, not a single instance has occurred to prove that persons liable to small-pox could associate in the same chamber with a patient in the distemper withoift '."ii^i- ▼ ^ 41 receiving the infection; and he was informed by an American physician of an instance in which the poisonous effluvium crossed a river 1500 feet wide, and affected ten out of twelve carpenters, »vho were working on the other side. The stability of the contagious principle may be inferred from the fact, that clothing will retain it for months, and it is said for years, when confined. The contagion acts either through the air, or by contact with the skin, or by inoculation ; the disease may be caused by the dead body, even when it has not been touched. Now, let us come to facts sufficient to prove that danger of infection is really in existence in the Marine Hospital. The average number of patients is about one thousand every year ; and every person liable to small-pox, will be in danger while in the hospital, until the Government at Ottawa supply the remedy : — A Small-pox Hnpital. Two or three cases will suffice : Case No. 1. — Oscar Jansen, aged 21, (vaccination good) seaman of the ship "Sweden," country, Sweden ; disease, paralysis, from a fall from the topsail yard in July, 1776 ; was doing very well till the 18th January, 1877, when he took the small-pox, and is now in the sheds doing as well as can be expected. This case is not a very light one. Case No. 2. — Adam Smith, aged 20, seaman of the ship "St. Bernard," country, Scotland ; admitted 10th July with a broken leg ; was doing very well, and would, in all pro- bability, have been alive now, but he took the small-pox while in the hospital, was taken over to the sheds and died on the 25th August, 1876. (Vaccination good.) The follow- ing is a letter from his brother : — 6 1 . I m. i':i •ii 42 41, Upper Hill street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool, September, 22nd, 1876. Hev. and Dear Sir, — I received your kind letter of Sept. 8th, with the melancholy news of my beloved brother's death. What shall we say, — death does come so unlooked for ; sometimes as a thief in the night. May Q-od reward you, Sir, for your great kindness and attention to him, when at the last life was ebbing away. I trust he heaid your precious words and trusted in Jesus for the salvation of his soul. Sir, you know how youth clings to life, but I hope that God for Christ's sake heard and answeted prayer at the last. We do thank you from our hearts for all you have kindly done, also for the P. O. order for £2 which came quite safe. We are so glad to have the number of my dear brother's grave ; some of us may be there. His brother Samuel went to the hospital to see him on the 1st day of August, and left him some of his clothes. When convenient will you kindly forward his effects to my address. Please give our thanks to the hospital for all they have done for him. Wishing that you may have many souls for the hire of ^ our labours in the Lord. I am, Rev. Sir, Your humble Servant, <* iiev. J. S. Sykes. William Smith. Case No. -S. — In 1875, Junior, Harper, and Reid, all three took the small-pox while in the hospital ; two out of the three died. Donald Junior, aged 21, seaman of the ship Victory, country, Scotland, took the small-pox while in the hospital, and died on the 25th July, 1875 ; (vaccination doubtful.) <* 43 James Alexander Harper, aged 28 years, (vaccination doubtful,) mate of the ship Czar, country Scotland. Ho was a fine, strong, healthy man when he came to the lios' pital with a wound on his thumb. He took the small-pox while in the hospital, and died on the 4th day of November, 1875. Then game the following letter : — Rev. J. S. Sykes, 137, Park street, Liverpool^ Nov. 28/A, 1875. Sir, — I return you many thanks for your kindness to- wards my husband, and for the trouble you have taken in writing to me ; and you would further oblige me very much if you would cause a duplicate medical certificate of his death to be forwarded to me, as I will be unable to receive some money due to him from a Club unless such certificate x ; produced. I do not think I will be able to send for his clothes, &c., until March next, when Captain Atkins (ship Sally) will most likely convey them to me. I remain, Yours respectfully, Sarah Harper. Please address care of Mr. Price, 137, Park Street, Liver- pool. Should further proof be needed to move the Government, or test the truth and soundness of what I have stated, let them examine the books at the Marine Hospital, and they will find abundant evidence to show that too many lives have been sacrificed already to allow any time to be lost in providing a remedy. ^ > -„ -^l^wjtj ,^f^V*I» •''■*' 44 THE SUBSOBIPTION LIST. •§- We have seen enough of the work in which the Port Chaplain is engaged to enable us to judge of its value and importance to the sailor her« ; and his friends at home. That it is a Christian work no one can doubt, — then let us ask ourselves whether it is any part of our duty, to supply the oil and keep the machinery in good working order that we may «« Tell him of the Saviour, Suffering dcatli and pain. Whom big wild behaviour Crucified again."— " Toll him much and often Tho' he deem it strange ; Soon his heart will soften, And his life will change," DEBT. The Port Chaplain Fund, from which a part of tho Port Chaplain's salary is paid, is not only exhausted, but like most young organizations after a good beginning soon be- gin to find out the stern reality, that without a constant supply of new blood, the life and vigour of the undertaking will, in a short time, begin to flag and die, or drag out a miserable existence and do but little good. To avoid this, it is only necessary, we feel confident, that the fact ishould be made known that we are in the Port Chaplain's debt, for arrears of salary, $650.90. This debt has been accumulating for the last eleven years. Our sub- scription list having suffered by the loss of three old friends, who are no longer in the land of the living — who were subscribers of $40 each annually, and by the death of sev&ial subscribers of sm&ller sums. it rt )t S, :e of 45 His Er 3ollency the Right Honorablo Charles Stanley, Viscount Monck, Governor General, honored our subscrip- tion list with his name and influence, by annually subscrib. ing $40 towards the salary of the P(^rt Chaplain. Also, — His Excellency the Right Honorablo John, Ikron Lisgar, Governor General, did the same till the end of his term of office. Application was made to His Excellency the Earl of Dufferin, the present Governor General, for the same pat» ronage that his predecessors had so graciously given to this good cause, but without success. To make plain to those who are not yet subscribers to the Port Chaplain Fund, how it is that wo are in the Port Chaplain's debt $650.90, it will be necessary to state that, in the year 1862, a few merchants and other friends of our Mercantile Marine, entered into an agreement with tU») late G. J. Mountain, D. D., Lord Bishop of Quebec, to establish a fund by subscription, to be called the Port Chap- lain Fund, out of which the Port Chaplain should receive not less than $416 per annum, as part of his salary. All went on well till 1866, 1867 and 1868, when a number of subscribers dropped off, so that in 1868 the Fund was in debt $142.90. The following will show the want of new subscribers to our list to make up the required sura of $416 per annum, and how the debt has been increasing year by year : Year. Subscriptions. Debt.

Something might be done by sermons preached in behalf of the Port Chapliiin Fund ; it would not only help by way of collections of money, but it would be the moans of mak- ing known the great need of such a work, and the good ac* complished by the agency employed. Look at the following extract from nine-toenta annual report, for the year 1874, " London Mission to Seamen : " " One hundred and seventy-seven clergymen have, during the past year, opened their pulpits to plead the spiritual needs of seamen ; and from all sources ^£10,721 19s. in all have been contributed in 1874 to provide the necessary agency and appliances." Now, if we can get only seven clergymen to do what they can for us in our small way in Quebec, we shall feel grateful. ' 4n 1 ay ,k.
