MARINE REVIEW. 4 Samuel Plimsoll of Load-Line Fame. Samuel Plimsoll, the Englishman of load-line fame, who has for a great number of years been looked upon as a friend of British seamen, is still actively interested in shipping legislation. He lately wrote a letter from his home in Folkestone, England,to the Coast Seaman's Journal of o> LED mes SoS Z25< ory S25 Se oS SOD oe SAMUEL PLIMSOLL, San Francisco, the organ of union seamen in this country, in which he urges American sailors to again take up the load-line question and other measures similar to the English act providing for the inspection of pro- visions, water, etc., put aboard sea-going vessels. In the concluding paragraph of this letter he says: 'And now, my dear friends, you will give me, I doubt not, permission to add a very few words which are not relevant to this subject. Seek to know and strive to do the will of God, accept the mercy and the love He offers to allof you through Christ, and then I may hope to meet you all in Heaven at last."
