Manx Passenger Returns.

The tax of one penny per head, levied by the Isle of Man Harbour Commissioners, in connection with all passengers embarked or dis- embarked at Manx ports, enables the number of people arriving by sea in the isle of Man during what are termed the season months- May-September inclusive-to be gauged with almost absolute accuracy. At Douglas the May-September arrivals in 1913 were 615.726. while the figures in 1914-the year war broke out-were 404,481. The Ramsey figures for these years were 13.891 and 9,1692 respectively' while for Peel they ware 4,985 and 2,745.

So far as the seasons of 1915, 1916, and 1917 are concerned the arrivals were so small, owing to the great diminution in holiday traffic to the Isle of Man, consequent upon the War, that the Harbour Commissioners only issued the May-September figures for Douglas. In 1915 the figure was 33,768, io. 1916 it was 52,500, and in 1917 it was 50,858. The arrivals at ports other than Douglas were, negligible.
