ABSTRACT
Choleraic drains, a life-destroying sun, drugged brandy, brothels exceeding in beastliness the pictures of Juvenal, robbery under the name of discount and charges on Bills and Notes, hospitals and cemeteries – these are the comforts, with which India welcomes Christian sailors [ … ] Till our sailors ashore are cared for as well as when afloat, till the sailor is made as much an object of public concern as the soldier, Christianity will continue to be disgraced and humanity outraged in every Indian port.1
