MISHAP TO AIR MAIL PLANE
Forced Landing On Australian Trip
Port Darwin, Jan. 16. An Imperial ‘air mall plane from London due here to-day, had been unreported since it left Kepang at maldnight of Tuesday until early to-day.
Yesterday the pilot sent a wire less message to the effect that he was hopelessly lost and was coming down.
Since then there has been no word of him. It was feared he may have crashed in landing or had put down his that he machine in some outlandish spot in North Australia. Searching planes were unable to locate the

An interesting Naval occasion took place on Tuesday at the Cathedral when Mary Whitham was married to David Luce of the Royal Navy, with all that florid brilliance which distinguishes wed dings at this season. As I entered the church I was tenderly asked whether I was a friend of the bride or bridegroom, a difficult question which seems to imply at deadly hatred of one or the other.. The bride's friends were on the lett, just like the goats on dooms- day. The sheep on the night were mostly Naval, and with their
gleaming golden epaulettes they

THE LEPER QUESTION
-
The address on leprosy at the Rotary Club came at an opportune time indeed, the more so when we' are told that there are many lepers running around the streets of Hong Kong." The account re iated by Dr. Gilbert Russell ot what is being done for lepers in the Lady Willingdon Settlement near Madras should give courage to those of us who are prepared to do something for the welfare of the lepers in this part of the world.
When we consider that there are more applications for admission in the model Indlan settlement tha that institution could cope with; there seems to be Little room left to doubt that the worth of the leper settlement is HONG KONG ORICHET OLUB. selves. Thanks to intensive pro-
