Last night, said Bir, Widia, with several Revenue Officers, he boarded the "Panama" and searched her for contraband. In the store
they found
gundy bag containing the opium which was good Indian opium. He inter- viewed the ship's steward who told him that the two defendants were engaged in Singapore for one trip anly. They had smuggled the bag into the storeroom, unnoticed.
Replying to the Magistrate, Mr. Wildin said that he had no doubt that the opium was smuggled from India and transhipped from port to port. Its ultimate destination, doub dless, was Hongkong, where the defendants intended disposing of it
The Magistrate said that there was a doubt in the case of the first defendant Therefore he must give him the beseft of that doubt and discharge him. He convicted" the second defendant оп his own admission and sentenced him to 12 months' hard labour, and a fine öf $5,000 or a further 6 months" hard labour. The sentences are to run consecutively in the event of the fine not being paid.

After mature deliberation on the.

Si Will you be kind enough to allow me space to say a few words concerning the Shaftesbury Homes & *Arethusa Training Ship. for they are greatly in need of funds to enable the Committee to carry on without impairing the efficiency of the work. Five years of war have added enor- mously to the maintenance charges and the situation becomes serious, The Committee are loth to close down any of the Hames and appeal to the British public for a generous response and increased suppork,
Think of the "Arethusa” lads in 350 vessels under the White Ensign dar. ing the late war, of old boys from the Country Homes of the Society in 150 Home and Dominion régiments, of the large mumber trained for useful citizenship in this country and the Dominions and of, the '1.000 boys and girls now being trained for useful employments.
The "Arethusa's" splendid record for last year in sending 70 per cent. of her boys to sea should be gratifying to the British public, the vessel which came next to them in output out of the other four voluntary ships reach- ed only 40 per cent. The Country Homes are equally as successful in school work and manual training. Surely it would be a disaster to the nation it any curtailment became necessary through lack of funds. We are now appealing for 100,000 dollars to ensure a continuance of the work without anxiety. The Treasurer C. E. Malden, Esq, will be glad to)

The Empress of Russia," ac cording to the Endings of the board, was travelling at the rate of 18 knots per hour at the time of the accident. The fact, bow- ever, that Captain Samuel Robin- son of the "Empress" was not ou the bridge after the vessel had cleared Corregidor was held unlawful, know- ing as he should from previous experiences the danger of speeding in Manila Bay, especially during night, when the bay is crowded with small craft the decision states,
