Appeal on behalf of the New Jellicoe Sailors' Rest at Southampton (British Sailors'
Society), by Mr. G. STANLEY Pond, Secretary to the New Jellicoe Rest Building Fund.
WHEN the first sailors from a boat torpedoed in the Great War were brought to
Southampton, the British Sailors' Society took over premises for their
accommodation. These buildings are now inadequate and unsuitable for a
permanent hostel, and a new hostel accommodating 100 men, with living and
recreation rooms, is to be built at a cost of £25,000. A Port Missionary is in charge
of the hostel, and through its agency the sailors are protected from those many risk,
which abound in every port
