We cull from our contemporary, John Pearne, of 2, The Rock, the following graphic description of the funeral of Bishop Versiglia and Father Caravario, who it will be re-called were foully murdered by bandits in the neigi bourhood of Li Tau Tsui, a small village on the Siu Pak Kong (Little North River) on the morning of

it will also be recalled that early reports reaching the Colony were to the effect that the two priests, together with a Chinese sister, and two lady teachers, had been mur- dered. It is now our pleasure to confirm the later report that the ladies were rescued by forces sent out by the Cantonese Government, as Boon as a telegrain was received in Canton announcing the murder.
The latter portion of an eloquent articie in The Rock we reproduce in its entirety. It needs no comment: of
