STRAIGHT FROM THE SHOULDER
(BY NO QUARTER)
The times pass swiftly. Each innovation, each little idea or invention casts a glancing shadow across the face of the calendar, and then is gone for ever. Are we to allow this colony to grow old fashioned and out of date? (Chorus) No, at thousand times, No! ·
In brief, we must fix it firmly in the minds of all educated men that any one who dies without first having seen Hong Kong can hardly be said to have lived at all, and will certainly be turned away" with a sneer by my good friend, "St. Peter.

On the quayside, in Bless. order to introduce an oriental at- mosphere, a matshed will be erect- ed in which all the magazine types of Tropical dweller will be present, Eh one corner, a handsome but weak young man will be shown in the arms of a beautiful Russian spy who is inciting him to smoke oplum because she wants the plans In an- of the latest battleship.

from the shadows. I knew him to be of the "Glubb" tribe by the pouches under his eyes.
