Bra,—However nntek it has been the fashion for
interested parties te noilensts the rfilaissay and services of
the /Ulla nary, it is lehlepeiable that the ships are well

vOrtward of Aden the peonage is always dangerous, and
narrow as is the channel there ere many shoals aad reeks in
the miclit of it, sad among others may be mentioned the
Brothers. It is impossible but that sooner or later some
fearful shipwreck must occur, and then, perhaps, the Indian

They who may be shipwrecked will Lind the coast of
Arabia more inhospitable than the desert. Several murder)
perpetrated by the savage Arabs in the vicinity of Aden re-
main unavenged, and to this day • boat's crew sent on
shore for water or provisions are liable to attack. It is
certain that were any party east away upon those shores,
the women and children would be carried away into
slavery and the men be put to death. And the govern-
ment, for the put impunity vouchsafed to the treacherous
tribes around Men, would be morally responsible for the
unhappy fate that would surely await the shipwrecked.
Now that some anxiety is naturally felt by those whose
relations or friends were embarked on board of the Ajadaha,
it may not be Ul timed to call the attention of the public to
this subject. ANGLO-INDIAN.
