WOMAN ROBBED
ROBBERS' HAUL AT KOWLOON TONG
BANK NOTES STOLEN
Robbers broke into a hut at Kowloon Tong suon after 1 o'clock yesterday morning and stole $220 in local currency and £11 in notes.
The only occupant of the hut at
the time of the robbery was a young Chinese married woman, who was sleeping with her 2-year old son.
She saw only one man but from sounds in other parts of the hut and outside, concluded that there
were others.

Miss Vivian, the company's conductress, struggled hard with an indifferent orchestra.
