Islanders!
Letter to the Editor.
I HAVE before me the 56th annual report of the Royal Shipwreck Relief and Humane Society of N.S.W. for the year to 30th June, 1933.
The total amount from steamship col lections received was £284/9/7, and of this amount a total of £108/13/5 came from the four island ships of Burns Philp —Montoro, Macdhui, Mataram and Morinda.
Since the island people comprise tne greatest percentage of the passenger lists, it will be pleasant news for them to learn that the small amount taken from race game winnings, daily runs and deck sports in general provided from the shil lings they have placed in those games has been the means of providing the Ship wreck Society named with two-fifths of its revenue received from shipping for those twelve months.
I am, etc.,
W. Wilding.
2nd Officer, s.s. Montoro.
