to Antwerp the visibility was never more than one mile, and just as we reached the worst part of the river, at Bat, it became solid and we had to anchor in a hurry. This time the fog lasted for 21 hours. Once it cleared we were able to get off the entrance to the docks. But we had a seven hour wait before entering. The cargo discharge took four hours and we were off again. This time the fog kept away until we were out at sea bound for Bremen. Just after we passed the Texel Light Ship the fog started again and lasted all the way : not too pleasant when one is going along the coastal route in the swept Channel. Cargo discharge at Bremen took four hours and then we sailed for Liverpool. When off Dover we got that snorter of a gale with the wind blowing force 9." The voyage had lasted 138 days altogether and the distance was 27,568 miles. Capt. Graham sent us a great deal of material—port plans drawn by an apprentice; a full narrative of the voyage; brochures picked up at various ports; and an account of some of the main ports visited. All this made a valuable contribution to the Junior School Geography section of the Science Exhibition. One of the best items was a very attractive framed photograph of the "Clan Stewart" going up the Weser to Bremen. Voyage 12 is now almost half over. The ship sailed from Liverpool on 25th February for Lobito Bay with 900 tons of mixed cargo—steel work, machinery, footwear, motor cars, electric cable, girders, galvanised iron, textiles and foodstuffs—with further cargo for Cape Town, Port Elizabeth, East London and Mauritius. That for Mauritius was 1,133 tons of paints, coils of wire, glass, machinery, soap, window frames, steel bars, waste paper, provisions and loose bricks-75,000 of them. From Mauritius the "Clan Stewart" proceeded to Calcutta—not a popular port with seamen at this time of year—and is there at the time of writing. Homeward cargo will be from Calcutta and other Indian ports, probably Madras and Cochin.
CAREERS Six boys attended Short Works Courses during the Easter holidays, a disappointingly small number in a School where over a period of five years the most popular careers entered by leavers have been the various branches of engineering and commerce. Details are now available of the summer courses, arranged through the Public Schools' Appointments Bureau, and senior boys are strongly urged to consider applying for places on appropriate courses if they feel it would be useful to gain experience to confirm or change their plans for the future. Attendance does not commit the boy (or the company) in any way at all. Though the majority of courses are naturally 32
