Kingscote to Lytton

May I venture to inquire whether any facilities will be granted to
a set of young active men who are anxious to go out to British 
Columbia? From several causes there is great distress among the
Deal Boatmen. The use of Steam Tugs—the improved science that is
brought to bear upon navigation &c &c has caused much suffering
among these fine gallant fellows—who have saved hundreds of lives
of their fellow Creatures—& many thousand pounds worth of property.
They can no longer get a living on the Beach—& very many of
the Young Men are most anxious to get away—especially to British 
Columbia. Might I request to be informed whether the Government
can favor their views in any way? If so—I should be most pleased
to give any further information.
