Scope and Content

Understands that Corbet does not fancy engineering but wishes to go to sea. Paints a pretty forbidding picture of the life of a midshipman on board a P. & O. steamer, and by way of contrast depicts the attractions of life out in India. Let Corbet take his advice and let his father to send him to someone a railway to learn office and field work: the writer has vacancies under him which must be filled.
