«
Sir ;-
Kindly allow
me
space
for
a
word
o
thanks
and praise
to
our
young
and
esteemed
townsman Mr.
Jos.
Alexander
through
whose
untiring energy
we
have
achieved
what for years
-hus
apparently
been
deefned
an
impossibility.
Year
in
yvear out
we
have
heard
our
merchants
complain about
the
expense
and
incon-
venience
suffered.
through
having
their
goods
shipped
to
i'rederiksted,
yet
no-
one seemed
tosave
had
the
courage
or
ability to cause
a change.
We
now have
the
steamers
of a rich and extensive
line
calling direct
to our port,
all through
Mr.
Aiexander’s
tact
and
courage.
This has
been
a great achievement,
and I think he
deserves the faithful cooperatior of
mer-
chants,
consumers
and
the
general
popu-
lation of Christiansted
and
its
adjacent
district.
:
No one should
make
the oceasion
of an’
unfortunate
accident
as
that
whickh
be-
feil-the Kathadin,
an objeet
of profiteer-
ing and thereby
help
to
undo
the
good
work Mr. Alexander has
done.
-
It is hoped that those
in
whcse
hands
the power
to remove
the
cause
of
such
accidents
| es
will give the
matter
speedy
attention,
and that every one, mbrchants,

will, whenever-

give
him the
necessary
assistance,
remember-
inghis efforts
and
success
have
been
for
the
general
welfare.
Let
them
waive
their personal
and
individual
profits
at
such
times.
:
This
achievement
goes
on
record
inp
the
history
of St.
Croix.
Older
heads
ought
to feel a bit ashamed
and
get busy
aiong other lines.
Let all inducements
be
offered
the ships
to
continue their
calls
and Mr.
Alexander feel that his
efforts
have
been
appreciated.
It is®preverbial
here
that
whenever
any
project
is considered,
everyone
has
some
say,
but almost
everyone
fears
to
make
an
attempt.
When,
however,
some
one
having sufficient
courage
and
stamina
goes
forw~ard
and
is
successful
everybody
is
pleased
and
happy.
. But
woe
to the poor
fellow if danger
threat-
ens
|
Every man
becomes
a hare
and in
less
time
than_it
takes
to
tell is in full
flight.

Such
is
not
the
cooperation
desired
here.
