SEARCH PARTY ORGANISED
* Reports have just been re- ceived of what is feared may turn out to be a holiday tra- gedy in the Colony. Lt. PAR Withers of HMS. Capetown reported late last night that a party of friends decided to climb Tai-Mo-shan yesterday as a holiday “hike.”

It is understood that a search party is being organ- ised.
