At West Point things were becoming rather warm by this time, and all available troops had to do some fine pedestilan exercise from the other end of the island, ready for the great reception, with dance to follow by electric light. Of course, it was raining most of the time, but that was nothing the British soldier white men weg-kwal. So the fun went on all ls fond of water. That is why the Chinese call night, without getting much ahead, and on Satur day the enemy mede preparations to laud troops all along the western shores under cover of their guns. A small hostile force was also reported as baving landedia China, near Mirs Bay, bound for the Kowloon forts. The situation was becoming desperate; the Volunteers were called out, and sent over the hilla towards Aberdeen, taking with them a copy of the new Volunteer Ordinance and photographs of the 200 new recruits. That settled the enemy, and away they went. Victory was ours, and the number of "drunks" in the Police Court this moralog broke the record.
