Stand-In For An Angel
In a note from Suva in June, Captain S. E. Gaskin, Manager- Secretary of the new Flying Angel Missions to Seamen head quarters that will be opened there shortly, has something to say about our May paragraph.
“Leading Angel”, p. 107.
A bit ambiguously, he writes: “I would hesitate to sign my self as ‘Leading Angel’ as I have been at sea since the age of 15.”
His only ambition now, he says, is to do what he can for the Service in which he has spent his whole life and to show, in this way, his appreciation of the men of the Merchant Navy.
Captain Gaskin makes another correction: “My service on the London Missionary ship ‘John Williams’ should read three years as 2nd and 1st Officer, and one year as Master—not four years as Master, as your May story had it.”
