His "tour of inspection" con- cluded, Admiral Sir Percy No- ble, the Commander-in-Chief, is expected to arrive in Hong Kong late this afternoon in H.M.S. Birmingham.
His present tour has been one of the busiest in recent months. By a fortunate coinci- dence, Sir Percy arrived In Amoy just as the Kulangsu in- cident became most serious. After the British, French and American naval forces there had made a firm stand, the si- tuation quietened and he went to Shanghai.
*
In Shanghai, he called on, and had various official and un- official conversations with, both Japanese and third party mili- tary, naval and other officials in Shanghai. No details of his talks have been released.
A Chinese goldsmith, Wan Kwok-man, committed suicide by jumping to the street from the third floor of No. 474 Lock- hart Road at about six o'clock this morning.
