Though they appear to be rather casual and drowsy in -Peking there are times when they wake up to a knowledge of what is passing found, and this is one of them. I hear there as a meet- ing of ministers the other day too, regard to the duties being levied on cereal which is contrary to the protocol.

No one anticipated auch a terrific storm. Judge Lumley Smith, K.C. and the Nautical Assessors sitting with him were of opinion that there had been a orgligent omission on the part of the defendants' crew to make the vessel sufficiently fast, having regard to its size and the fact that bad weather was coming on.
