ANXIETY and exhaustion 10 which Officers and crew
must be subjected Ca:efa and thorough COM
pool with the oelef.ent provisions OF the English
Passenger acts OF 1855 and 1858 would have gone
lar to prevent much OF the suffering to when boin
provisions are made for the examination ana survey
by an emigration oicer, Of the provisions and water;
Tor proper facilities for co0kng for the number ana
qualification OF passenger cooks, whom the act re-
qulres TO be 'seafarlng" men, and for the manning
OF the snip with an efficient crew. to the satisfaction
OF the emigration oficer. Your com mlttee are una
pie 10 see how, unless these requirements OF the
BRITISH law had been evaded or openly violated, the
calamltes OF TINS voyage could have occurred.
The principal security against the recurrence OF
sucn evils Is TO be iound perhaps in the rapid dis
grants 10 this port and the institution OF steam
sells In their stead The story OF the misfOrtunes Of
the James Foster Jr, will. it is hoped, increase the
OF shpowners 70 exercise great care and caution in
the choice OF the officers into whose hands the care
may be entrusted. It is at best a difiicult aud q
delicate ofice, requiring, perhaps larger share OF
patience good temper forbearance aud kind feeling
than Is commonly found Among men educated Ia
the rough school OF sailors life. And yet 1t II
hard to imagine any situation in which men are
more completely helpless, more completely at the
mercy OF those who may be set over them, or have
jusser claims on the sympathies ana charities Of
their fellows, than passengers In emigrant ships.
The establishment Of an efficient police on the seas
by whose means injustice and cruelty may be DE-
tected and prevented. Is measure towards which
philanthropy has as yet made little progress. Much
must still depend on the humanity OF ship-owners
and the careful choice they make OF their agents.
Your committee beg leave to suggest as subject for
the consideration OF your honorable Board, whether
the enactment OF some such provisions AZ to
emigrant ships as are TO be found In the
British passenger acts above referred to- would not
tend TO the projection Of passengers across the At
lantlc and the increase OF their security and COM
forts The subject is well worthy the attention Of
the Congress OF the United States When 1t II re-
membered how much Of the present population OF
the United States Is made up OF immigrants their
immediate descendants, and how much OF its
wealth. enterprise and prosperity has sprung from
their labor nothing surely should De left undOne By
the country which they have chosen for their home
which could tend to make their voyage to these
shores as convenient and as easy as possible, and
Impress them in advance with the prOvident care for
their welfare displayed by the country in which
their future lives are TO be spent and to whose ad
~ancemer' their future labOrs are TO be devoted.
