The Weekly paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
This week's issue of the "OVERLAND CHINA MAIL," the only illustrated weekly budget of "local" and "China" news published in the Colony, is verily a bumper one.
It will be doubly welcome to the host of readers who were disappointed on Monday in not being able to secure a copy of the life story of Carvalho Yeo, the centre-figure of the Treasury's $250,000 episode.
There is the graphic account of the tragic wrecking of the s.s. "Hsinwah" outside Hong Kong's gates.
Two Unofficial members for Kowloon and two more Official members have been appointed to the Legislative Coun- cil. This epoch-making event is also described in the "Over- "land"
Two eloquent speeches on Sino-British relationship wen delivered at the University congregation. Both are reproduced in the "Overland" in full.
Other articles include those describing the arrival of two foreign Admirals on official visits, and the landing here of the 1st Bn. the Somerset Light Infantry.
