The big event in South China during the week-one over- shadowing wars and rumours of war-has been the shelling of the merchant ship "Irene" after it had been seized by pirates in the vicinity of Bias Bay. A British submarine carried out the action, rescuing most of the passengers and crew of the vessel (together with the pirates). The full story as supplied officially and as collected by our outside staff, appears in this week's issue of the "Overland." The accounts make graphic reading and have been so arranged that the affair is presented in proper sequence Police court proceedings against the suspected pirates are also reported in the “Overland.”
Hostilities in the north between Shansi and Chang Tso- lin have given way to open warfare between the two Nation- alist factions on the Yangtze, the Wuhaners and Nanking-ites, and the latter are having the better of matters.
Full local news, social, sporting and commercial, appears in the "Overland."
