It was a pleasure to hava an original shareholder come forward and express so much satisfaction.

Their reappearance, however, settled that, and as soon as they want under the next time Red changed direction, getting the Duneun badly hit in the operation. As the vessels were now only about 1000 yards apart a great deal of damage was done. The Blue Helvisan was practically put out of action, and the Ferewiet took fire. Two of Red's torpade catchers "going for" the abmarines were sunk by ganfire. Most of the torpeloes fired by the subs, missed, but one of the boats rising near the Duncan succeeded in torpedoing her, whereupon the other Reil battleships lost no time in putting a safe distance between themselves and their tiny assailante.

I
now speaks, I might say, as chairman both of the old and the new odmpanies. I think, from the figures shown in the balance- sheet submitted by the liquidators to-day, that the shareholders will be satisfied with the results of the
the company's
y's operations during past year, which have enabled the directors to By proftroalised pay the full 6 per cent. preference dividend and 15 per cent to the ordinary shareholder. The working expenses were a fitte heavier than in 1890, which is mainly due to the explosment of several of the steamers out of the regular outward and homeward service. One important foafurs to note in the balance sheet is the reduction in the amount standing at debit of bills payable," as compared with the previous year; for it will be observed that we paid off close upon £100.600, due to the shipbuilders, and further payments in liquidation of liability on this account have since been made. I need not allude to the tragic occurrences at Faking and throughout the whole of the norther province of Chins, which are painfully familiar to us all
