PIRATE ATTACKS.
}
To the Editor of the China Mail) Sir.May. I give you the views of one who who has given much thought to ways of preventing pincy as follows:-
Place: Diocesan Boy's School HK. Teacher to ten year old Hongkong Hoy. What would the pirates do if they put barbed wire round the bridges of river steamers and drills and armed Indians.
Boy: Just as they have done with balf a dozen of them; steal all they cant and run away and if anybody tries to stop them kill em dead.
Teacher: Quite right dearie but if they made thein put steel wheel houses and other steel houses with little holes for Indians inside to shoot through what would the pintos do then,
Boy Use time hombs and stink pote and blow them up.
Teacher: The again dearie, but what if a myy patrol bent enme along just as key started to steal.
Boy: If they thought there was loss than twenty men on the patrol bout flies would shoot them and all the foot on her and take it to
·Shan-mi or Coloang Island.
Teacher: Yes, suppose they would dearie but what if the patrol bont hul 100 of the Sudrey regiment on her and 100 bluejackets.
Boy: Being dark they would throw all their weapons away and lay down with the other passengers and prefend to sleep and if anyone woke them up they would say they was innocent and knew mufing about it
HOCKEY.

The Hockey match arranged by the Oxford and Cambridge Society of Hongkong. took place on Thurs- day, at the U.S.R.C..The teams

Oxford, who were playing one short, pressed early and Wood and Dyer Ball with some swift dashes gave the Cambridge defence no little trouble. Oxford, however were unable to score and with the Cambridge defence settling down the Light Blue forwards began to attack and made several attempts on the opposing goal but half time" arrived with no score..
In the second half the Cam bridge forwards continued to thow good combination and Slade, and Take on the left kept the Oxford defence particularly busy. In the earlier part. of the half play was quite fevel and Dyer Ball led'fre quent inroads into the other half.
Cambridge now had a period of pressing and twice they only just missed scoring. At length their 3 ball forwards following up skied in the air dashed in on Warner. He managed to stop the first shot but Tuke got to the ball Teacher: Well if you arént nagain and scored.

The Oxford halves were, perhaps a trifle better on the whole save in the marking of their opposing wing men. Warner saved well on some work at back.
