That this presentation is well deserved in undoubted, for the pluckinom of the sat can hardly be over-estimated.
It is reported that the staamer Libello, a vor sul well known in these waters, has been char tered by the East India S. S. Co, Limited, who intand to you her from Singapore to Mails, vi Labuan, Sandakan, Sulu, Zamboanga, and Iloilo.
