Major Armitage produced a cigar from an upper pocket of .his tunic, bit off the end, and ignited it carefully. Presently the preposterous circle of glass fixed itself upon Hewitt. "Mrs. Viney mentioned the name of Pennington just now," he snapped. "I suppose thisfellow's still on your strength, wasting government money and making an infernal hash of this Yellow Seven business?" The Commissioner flushed. "I'm afraid I must disagree with you," he' said. "Chinese Pennington is one of the most efficient men it's ever been my lick to meet." Armitage had a knack of hearing only those people who agreed with his views. • "I heard of this affair when I pass- ed through Singapore. It didn't take me five minutes to see that the thing had been hopelessly bungled. The way that man was making our status in the Eastlook ridiculous simply ate into my nerves. I could see for my- self that it wanted a soldier at the head of affairs. I offered my services and the offer was accepted." Captain John Hewitt gasped.

At Bristol the thirty-one pilots average about £600 a year each; eighty-six pilots at Car- diff about 2300. The Manchester pil- ots, who take ships all the way up the canal to Cottonopolis,, make about 2740 a year.
