That part of the docks of London known as the Wapping Basin was early one morning recently the scene of a fire which destroyed part. of a building belonging to Harland and Wolff, Ltd., ship repairera and engineers, and used as a 'workshop. The fire occurred during a snow storm. It was intensely cold and water from the hoses turned to Icicles-3ome of them a foot long- when it fell on part of the burning building. Scores of men, women, and children wrapped in blankets left their homes in an adjacent ntreet, as the flames threatened to aprend. One gate at the docks had to be burst open, and Albert Chap- man, a Port of London policeman, was injured in trying to climb over it. He was taken to London Hog- pital, but was able to go to his home after treatment. Lines of hose were run through an old burial ground and over the graves in the churchyard of St. John's Church.

“OVERLAND CHINA MAIL"
CHINA NEWS, LOCAL NEWS
AND ALL THE NEWS
SEND IT HOME!
This week's issue of the "Overland China Mail" COVCIS
all branches of activity in Hong Kong and South China. It is `- such a one that can be sent away to describe, in a good many respects, life in the Colony. Brimful of interest, this number of the "Overland" is also worth keeping handy for future re- ference. Subjects dealt with include the following:-
Opening of the Nationalist drive against Peking (with comment and footnotes to elucidaté matters for non-Chinese),
Marshal Li Chai-sun's return to Canton,
Legislative Council business.
Sanitary Board meeting.
Annual inspection of Police and Fire Brigade. Police Reserve, with presentations and H.E.'s address. Conclusion of visit of Japanese Fleet,
Kowloon affairs,
Piracy of another coastal steamer,
Lobo v. Lee Hysan libel case judgment,
Alice Memorial and Affiliated Hospitals meeting,
Several public company meetings.
In addition to the above, the "Overland," as usual, con-" tains the week's local news, the Far Eastern cables, names of residents gone on leave, sports articles, wedding reports and obituary notices.
WHEN YOU GO ON LEAVE.
Hong Kong's spring exodus has begun. Are you going Home on leave this year? If you are, you will be surprised by the number of persons who will ask you about China and Hong Kong. You will be astonished at the number and type of silly questions put to you in all good faith. And you will have to admit reluctantly (if only to yourself) that you are not quite certain. Will you be believed, though? Keep in touch with Hong Kong and China by having the "Overland. China Mail" sent to you for a stipulated period.
By spending a little time while you are on holiday, you can keep yourself well informed if you have the "Overland." The articles which you will seek are written to help non- Chinese to understand. In any case, you will not regret, from your own point of view, being posted with the main develop- ments (reported in brief) while you are away.
