He turned out with his men to see what was the matter, and learned that a large cargo boat, with fifteen persons, on board, had boon run into by the river steamer Kuong Hi and overturned. The junk turned turtle. There were five or six persoUS below at the time of the accideat, and but for the prompt assistance of the police these persons, in all probability, would have lost their lives. Sergeant T. Moffat and Constables Hood (No. 18) and Moren (No. 87) cut holes in the bottom of the jack through which the im- prisoned bost-people escapod. A boat was lowered From the Kwong Hoi, and thres mon rescued by it, and other members of the crow swam sahore. It was afterwards found that a man and a woman had been drowned. The body of the man has not been recovered. There was a strong wind blowing on Tuesday night, and the water was rather rough, which rendered the work of rescue all the more difficult. The un- fortunate boat-people were taken to the Police Station by Inspector Mackie, and provided with dry clothing. Being a Soots man, the Inspector believes in the efficacy of whisky toddy for keeping out the cold, and he daly administered the national beverage to his unexpected guests.
