Bound for Hong Kong from a neighbouring port and flying the British flag, the s.s. "Tean was pirated this week and taken to Bias Bay. En route, the pirates wished to reach Aberdeen, the township on the south of the island, to pick up some fishing boats to complete their scheme. Ultimately, they gave Hong Kong a miss. In the end, they were pursued by a landing party from a British warship, H.M.S. "Somme," and also by parties from a Chinese Customs cruiser led by two foreigners.
These are some of the features in another chapter of the history of the China Seas. The story is reproduced in the "Overland China Mail" and will make presentable, reading in other parts of the world. Do not fail to send a copy away. Doing so will save a good deal of tiresome letter writing.
The departure for North China of the flagship of the commander-in-chief of the China Squadron will arouse intense. interest at Home. "Hawkins" has gone, as everybody knows, because of the situation up there. Developments in the situation, with careful explanations and sidelights, are record- ed in the "Overland.""
AwAll the week's local activities are described, including
such as the exposure of the "Femina" hoax, Decoration Day observances, the Queen's Régiment memorial dedication, etc.
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.
