́ONLY GOAL.
The thrilling tale of the rescue of 31 Japanese seamen from the battered hulk of the fishing trawler Shea Shan ** Maru 150 miles from Pratas Shoal, was related by officers of the British steamship Glenshield, Capt. R. L.'Sanders com- manding, which arrived in Hong Kong at 9 p.m. on October 31, more than 24 hours overdue.
The Japanese craft, sighted in a sinking condition, had lost her mast and rudder, was out of fuel and stores, and her crew were almost exhausted by their ceaseless battle with the sea, which had lasted for three days.

Before the Hong Kong Divorce Bill was given second reading at the session of the Legislative Council on October 27, Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, declaring that he represented a large proportion of the residents of the Colony, launched an attack upon the measure from moral and practical angles. Hon. Mr. J. J. Patterson, replying to Mr. Braga's criti- cism, said that so far as he could understand, the Divorce Bill did no more than transplant the English procedure to Hong Kong.
•
The Attorney-General, briefly explained the Bill. The Government, he said, was not concerned with the religious aspects of the case. The Hong Kong Bill followed the pre- cedure adopted in the Federal Malay States, but did not go so far.
The Bill, he added, would not come into force until IIts Majesty's pleasure is known.
The meeting is reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
