THE FATAL COLLISION WITH A JUNK
At the Magistracy this morning Mr. Wode- house continued an inquiryinto the circumstances connected with the death of a child found on the 3rd instant in the cabin of a junk which was near Man Soo, abr ut 30 miles from Hongkong, un down by the British steamship Namyong, on the 1st instant.
+
Mr. Mossop, of Messrs. Dennys and Mossor, watched the proceedings on behalf of the captain of the Namyong, who returned from Saigon yesterday,
The master of the damaged junk stated that al about 4 p.m. on the 1st he was in his junk,. fishing off Man Soo, close 'to Hongkong,
He was himself steering the junk in an easterly direction. The junk was attached to another for the purpose of dragging anet. Owing to the light wind prevailing at the time their progress was slow. He suddenly observed a steamer coming from the direction of Hongkong, and apparently going on a Sonth westerly course, which she presently altered to South. She ran into his jank, cutting it in halves. The steamer stopped, picked him up out of the water and took him to Annam (Saigon ? whence he returned yesterday by the same steamer. The Namyong was to blame in the matter because if she had not changed her course to South there would have been no collision, There were only two other junks fishing in the zame waters at the time of the collision and they were several i distant. Had there been a large number of junks fishing in the vicinity the case would have been different..
William John Woodridge, captain of the
steamship Mamyong, stated that his vessel was trading between Hongkong, Saigon, and Penang On the 1st instant he left Hongkong at noon for Saigon. When he got as far as the Gap Rock at three o'clock in the afternoon his ship was heading S. W. by S. } S." At that hour, he set the course S. W. by S S., and gave over charge to the chief officer, himself retiring The first thing he knew of danger was noise caured by Chinese shouting. As soon as he heard the noise he ran on deck and observed a junk under the bow his steamer. He rushed to the telegraph and ordered the engines to be reversed. His ship must have been going at full speed, about to knots per hour, at the time he came on deck. The junk appeared to be lying across his bows, and under sail. She was probably, heading south-east; but in the hurry of the moment he did not take special observations. The junk's port side was towards his steamer. When he pave the order for the reversal of the engines he simultaneously ordered the steersman to pit the helm hard a-port ; but it was too late to avert the collision, and his ship went right into the junk and cut her nearly in halves. As far as he could see there were eight on ten people on board the injured vessel. He stopped his ship, and lowered a boat with the second officer and Chinese crew, to render every
to the chart-room to reat.
possible assistance. The Chinar el see junk would not allow the boat to draw up close along side. At the time of the collision the weather was very fine and clear and the sea smooth. The chief officer handed over charge to the second mate at 4 o'clock.
THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH, TUESDAY, JUNE 17, 1890.
His Worship said that he led evidence before him shewing that no application for export permit had been made to the proper authorities. He also had some evidence to show that the opium in question was exported, and it therefore became necessary for Mr. Mossop, on behalf of the defendants, to prove that that was not so that there had neither been failure to apply for a permit nor an attempt at illegal
exportation.
Mr. Mossop asked bis Worship to point out to him the clause in the Ordinance which brew the ones on him. He contended that it was for the prosecution to prove.
His Worship, after looking over the Ordinance for some time, said that he must admit the argument raised by Mr. Mossop, that as the opium was in balls packed in bags, and not in chests, it did not come within the ruling of the ordinance. He had been given to understand that a case of the kind was décided at the Supreme Court some little ime ngo, wherein it was held that opium in balls could not be considered as coming within the meaning of the words "Chest or chests of opium." The case for the prosecution on the fist count, that of unlawful exportation; therefore fell to the ground.
Mr. Johnson contended that the words of the ordinance "chest of opium" meant a measure of quantity, and not an actual box or chest in the strict sense of the word.
the case fell to the ground, owing to the fact His Worship, however, was of opinion that that the opium was not in chests.
Mr. Johnson then asked his Worship to set. down a day for the bearing of the case upon the second count, that of leaving anchorage with out a light after 7 o'clock at night, thereby com miting a breach of the harbour regulations; and added that as it was not necessary to retain more than the master of the boat and one of the boatmen, the second third and fourth defendants could, he thought, be discharged.
His Worship stated that the case would come on again next Friday. Three of defendants would be released, and bail in two sureties of $150 each would be required for the master of the boat and the fifth defendant, e could make no order respecting the disposal of the opium until after the case, based upon the second charge, had been decided before two magistrates,
FOOCHOW
7th May, 1990.
'The natives, we hear, are suffering very much with influenza, and the whole country is said to be infected with the malady.
Owing to the scarcity of rice which prevailed during the last two months the Government has ordered its large stock for sale at very low prices, and the dealers consequently have also to lower their prices, which are now considerably cheaper than a week ago,
The heavy rain we have bad during the early part of the week has caused the river to rise so much as to cover some of the lower range of streets leading from the Customs bund, and many rice-fields, with their young plants, were flooded; however, we are glad to see that, with the cessation of rain since Wednesday, the water in the river has fallen."

A half dozen little children were elevated on a staging and securely fastened amid a grove of artificial flowers. The child highest up was on a level with the telegraph wires. The frame was carried by about twenty men, preceded by banners and the ubiquitous gang. These poor creatures seemed paralysed with fright, but the Chinese were delighted and did not seem to regard their terror."They don't mind it a bit," were the words frequently heard. As a whole hot day was spent in thus carrying these babies ahout the streets, one can hardly imagine the suffering endured by them-N. C. Daily News.
