Berwick, thanking the Y.M.C.A. for their kind help and the privileges extended to the ship's company during their stay on the China Coast.
The chairman also remarked that the "Cheer O" branch in Hong Kong would soon lose the valuable services of Mr. W. L. Pattenden, who was soon going Home for good. Sir Heary added that he hoped that the "call of the East" would draw Mr. Pattenden back to the Colony, for he was badly needed by the Y.M.C.A. They also regretted the departure of Mr. J. II. Hunt, the secretary, and Mrs. Rynt, who were soon to go Home" on furlough, and of Mr. D. Scott, the Hon. Treasurer. He wished them all a happy voyage to the Homeland," and a safe return. Mr. Scotts' vacancy would be filled by Mr. Mills of the Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank,
