In the broadsword contest Mulholland was far too good for Ser geant Giles; still it was not all one way, as the last named broke down the Instructor's defence several times, and had very little the worst of the encounter at the finish. The old English of quarter-staff produced a stiff tussic between Privates Holland and Sheepwash, the latter ultimately receiving an injury to one of his hands which necessitated his retirement.

the planks were ahead of the ribs, and so the huge mass went slowly up, first rib and then planks, and then plank and then rib.

It had not yet occurred to them to use round spikes for round holes. Numerous bulkheads extending from one side of the ship to the other, were added further on. These served a double purpose; they not only gave strength and stiff the outrage in which Messrs. Sassoon & Co. to the funk, but made numerous compart convenient for the stowage of cargo. The driving, and even furious energy, wine which this work was carried on was exhilarating in that land of laziness.

A most flagrant case fins recently come under our notice, and one requiring cognizance, as a grosser violation of Treaty rights it would be difficult to conceive.
The one thing, however, which best exhibited. the peculiar enterprise and boldness of the Swatow men was the getting up of the mast. One great tree, eighty or ninety feet long, and from two and a half to three feet thick at the base, of heavy hardwood, was prepared as mainmast. It was then hauled on deck by means of various windlasses, and amid a deafening clamour of voices. The foot of the mast was placed in position on the deck over the socket end reached out over the stern. But the strike into which it was to descend and rest; the other
