*It was about 10.30 on the 13th that, following the detention of a steamer in front of us,' said one of the passengers,-- 'the Petersburg signalled to us to stop. The Captain at first protested and we were drifting when a shot was fired across our bows. We then stopped, and a boat came alongside with two or three officers. The officers came on board and were met by the Captain of whom they demanded the ship's papers, The papers were handed

One of the passengers, taking up the thread of the story, said that they had on the Petersburg a commission of three-ór four Intelligence officers sent from Russia. The Malace's papers were laid before them, and the manifests having been ox- amined they decided about 2 o'clock that the ship would have to be scized, .

'Did they give any reason l'

No, they were only dissatisfied with the information which the manifests con- tained. The Captain's assurance that the cargo consisted of Government stores for Hongkong was not accepted, and at about 6 o'clock att armed crew of about 20 mien came over and took possessİOD.

The Officers were very polite and explained to the Captain that they had no alteruntire than to do as they did.

of sail. Last year the vessels and figure jumped to 118,000 tons, and now it bounds up to When, in 1,359 vessels of 300,000 tons. the period 1898-1941, the average annual decree in the world's sailing ships was 160,000 tons, the statistics were regarded Now the average of 4K revolutionary those years has been doubled by the re- moval of a great number of vessels of small tonnage. The circumstance can only be an indication that more than ever do the maritimo nations recognise that the future lies with steam. The real effect of these figures is, of course, obscured by a mero consideration of tonnage totals. If we take the 300, 0 tons of sailing vessela wiped off the register last year an equivalent to 100,000 tons of steam, we get an increase of steam tonnage for 1904 of not much under 1,350,000 tons.

Thursday, August 18.

CHILD STEALING.

Chan Houg was indicted on a charge of feloniously and unlawfully enticing Li Mau Lam, a child of seven years, away with the intention of depriving Uhan Yau, the mo- ther, of the possession of the child.

The Attomey General, Sir H. S. Ber. keloy, appeared on behalf of the Crown,

while accused was unropresented.

Accused said that he was not in Hong- kong at the date the boy was stolen ; he was in Singapore.

The following jurors were sworn Messrs 8. A. Soth, T. Browne, A. B. Rouse, E, H. Ray, W. F. Gardner, G. W. Binder, and J. W. Crouch.

The Attorney General, in opening, said that on December 28 last the prisoner met a little boy playing in the streets and offered to take him to a theatre. He look the boy to Kowloon whore he lived in a matshed with the prisoner's father for five days or so. Later on the boy was taken to Samchun Prisoner and another man, who claimed to be the boy's father, sold him for 860. The mother of the boy reported his loss to the police, and the father of the prisonor was arrested and convicted. On July 20 accused was arrested at Shatin. His plea was mistaken identity: he was a

apore at the time. Evidonne was lod.

During the examination of the man who had acted as agent between the buying and selling partnera, at San- chun, in China, is Lordship said:- I should like the Chinese in this Colony to understand that such a thing us the buying and selling of children is quite unknown to the law here. The law does not allow any such proceedings in this Colony. A child is not a subject for purchase and sale like eat tic. You can buy a dog, but you cannot buy

a child.

The jury returned a verdict of guilty. Before sentencing accused it was decided to hear the second chargo against him. He was charged in company with Chan A Sam of stealing two children aged four and eight years of age respectively.

Chan A Sam pleaded not guilty. Tut Chan Hong admitted the charge.

In this instance the children were taken to Yaumati on the promise of buying them fruit, etc., and wore afterwards taken to the Now Territory.

A verdict of guilty was returned. In sentencing Chan Hong, His Lord ship said that accused bad already been convicted once-in May 1962-for being concerned in the kidnapping of a child. He evidently made a trade of child stealing, as he did no work whatever. He sentenced him on the first charge to two years' hard labour.

The second charge made the third con- Viction, and a sentence of three years hard labour was imposed.

His Lordship remarked that the two sentences would run consecutively, that was five years' imprisonment in all. He could have sentenced the prisoner to four- teen years' imprisonment, but he did not think that it would do the prisoner any At the end of good or the Colony either. his sentence he hoped that the Colony would be rid of him, and he gave it as his opinion that the Government should de

Although the penalty was the same as that awarded to Chan Hong on the first charge to-day.

THE GOVERNOR AND THE

CHILDREN.

Entertainment at Mountain Lodge.

The juvenile members of the community were entertained yesterday afternoon by His Excellency, Sir Matthew Nathan, at Government House 'Mountain Viow.' The weather was all that could be desired and the party was a huge success, the little folk who attended enjoying themselves to the utmost. The children arrived between 4.30 and 5 o'clock, accompanied by their chape rons, and were at once put at their case by His Excellency, assisted by Captain Arbuthnot-Leslie, A.D.C., and Mr R A. B. Ponsonby, Private Secretary, who throughout the afternoon, were untiring in their efforts on the children's behalf. The lawn was prettily decorated, and the little quests were provided with all seasonable forms of amusement, such as tennis, aunt allies, races, croquet, and a toboggau slide, the latter being extremely popular and providing a great amount of anu ement. To the successful competitors in the races and other events prizos were distributed. Gmes having been indulged in vigorously the children were invited to an excellent spread laid out in marquees on the lawn, and in conclusion the little ones each receiv ed a notification advising them that a parcel wasted them at the Governor's Post Ollie

THE NEW FRENOH REMEDY

THERAPION

MARK

This successful and highly popular remedy, as employed-in the Continental Hospitals by Riconl, Rustan, Jobert, Velpeau, ml others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed.

THERAPION No. 1

in a remarkably short time, often a few days only,, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, ̧ superseding injections, the use of which does irre -parable harm-by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases.

THERAPION NË 2

for impurity of the blood, scurry, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swelling of the joints, secon dary symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to em ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of health," This pre- paration purifies the whole system through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.

THERAPION No. 3

fornervousexhaustion, impaired vitality, sleepless- ness, and all the distressing consequences of early error, excess, residence in bot, unhealthy climates, &c. It possesses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the debilitated.
