Panama’S Flag
From Our Own Correspondent
Apia, Nov. 5.
IT is reported in Apia that the Island steamer “Carriso,” of the American firm Flood Bros., may be withdrawn from the service owing to trouble with the American authorities and labour unions regarding the crew. Ships under the American flag are not allowed to carry native or Chinese crews, while a white crew is too expensive for the long South Sea trips.
It may be found necessary to register the vessel under the Panama flag, like the 'other ships of the same line, the "Beulah” and "Noumea.”
