Discovery of Tragedy The tragedy was first discovered by a farmer living in the village 12% miles away. What he was doing in the vicinity early in the morning. (8.25 a.m.) is not clear, but he immediately reported his discovery to the Police, who en ar- rival found that the murdered man and woman both had chopper wounds on the face and neck, and they appeared to have been dead nearly a day before their bodies were discovered..
The interior of the hut was in a
| topsy-turvy condition and several boxes appear to have been forced open, but it is impossible to say if anything had been stolen as the only person who can throw light on the matter is the dead man's son, who
cannot be found.
He is the 20-year-old youth de- scribed as "Tau Pei Chal" (Pock- marked lad) in the earlier report. This youth was last seen in Tung- chung on Wednesday and has dis- appeared since.

In my last letter I promised to give you more news about Hong Kong Electrics. During the week these shares continued Army and steady at $62. I gather that there are two reasons for their popularity, the first being that, at the request of a number of influential property owners and residents of Kowloon, the Company has lodged an applica- tion with the Government to extend Its operations there by means of cables across the harbour, while the second is the expectation of a bonus issue some time next year in the proportion of one in every three which was foreshadowed a year ago.
