excitement was caused among the sampan and junk people lying peacefully in their crafts at Chin Wan Bay. The sea around them was seen to be agitated, and myriads of diminutive water-apouts took place. The folks, who are very superstitious, evidently thought that the fabled Neptune was angry, and in order to appease this they burned tons of joss paper, joss sticks and crackers. It, however, turned

IT is with regret that we have to announce the death of Lieutenant Arbuthnot, which took place early this morning. He was taken to the Naval Hospital suffering, we believe, from fever, and although everything was done to bring him round, he died. Chaplain Icely was in attendance. The funeral, which took place this afternoon, was largely attended. We un derstand that the deceased was in charge of the Torpedo Depôt in Kowinon.

THE HONGKONG RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
The following is the report of the above Association, to be presented at the annual meding to be held on Friday next :---
DR. PENTECOST, AT THE

the doorway when the hymn was announced, and, later in the evening, the number of these was increased. So large, and withal no repre- sentative an assemblage, holds in it, we think, fair promise of success for the entire series of meetings. The Venerable Archdeacon Bauis- ter offered the opening prayer, and, in a few' words, introduced Dr. Pentecost. He asked for Dr. Pentecost the prayers of the assembly, and for the meetings such aid as each person can render by bringing others to them on each day of the current waek. Another hymn was sung and Dr. Pentecost then repeated verses. from the 1st chapter of the Epistle to the Romans, emphasizing the well known words of St. Paul in the 19th verse; "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ." The address, which fallowed, will not, we think, be easily forgotten by those who were present. It occupied an hour in delivery and was effective throughout, reaching its greatest effectiveness toward the close, culminating in a clear, strong entreaty to accept Christ as the power, of God unte salvation. The address, strikingly vigorous and forceful, was marked by felicitous illustra tion and enlivened by touches of humour. The appeal was largely to the reason and conscience, and few could hear Dr. Pentecost without being brought into sympathy with the man and his message. Such preaching, while it re vives many a hallowed memory and sacred' association, fails not to give new thoughts, new helps and new aspirations. Dr. Pentecost makes his hearers feel that whilst no man-can outlive the morality, moral judgment and righteousness of God's law every man may,
The annual general meeting of the members of the Association will be held at the Hong- kong Hotel on Friday, 20th February, 1903, at potlock p m., for the purpose of passing the within accounts and electing a committee and Officers for 1903.
