With the cross curients and variable winds which prevail in Hongkong, it is surprising that accidents to sailing craft in the harbour are not more frequent; above all at this time of the year, when, owing to the changing mon, soon, frequent short periods of comparative calm are succeeded at irregular intervals by short gusts of stiff breeze. Yesterday afternoon at about a 300'clock, a very serious accident of this kind did occur, which, had it not been for the placky conduct of Mr. Lyons, one of our Hong kong Sanitary Inspectors, would most certainly have terminated in a serious less of life.

Inspector Lyons, who when passing along the sea wall, and had seen the accident, threw off his helmet and jacket, sprang into the harbour and made for the sinking party. Though a pow erful swimmer, he encountered great difficulty in reaching the scene of the disaster, as the tide, which was very strong, was rub- ning in an opposite direction. On reaching the overturned boat, on which the waves were abreaking so heavily that, from
shore, it

to perceive whether or no the victims of the accident were still afloat, Lyons seized hold of the two children, who, though still clinging to the sail, were fast losing consciousness through the buffeting of the waters, and kept them afloat. Fired by the splendid example given them, several Chinamen from a junk jumped spector and, on reaching the capsized craft, into a couple of dingies and followed the in.

The ratio of the rupte having been fixed at 18. 4d., and considering that the dollar is equal in weight to about 2 1-3 rupees, the ratio of the dollar should be naturally fixed at 38 rd.

THE NAVAL CONFERENCE

The S. F. Press, of 14th inst., states:- This morning the meeting of the "Three Admirals" off Kuala Johore comes to an end. H.M.S. Glory with Admiral Sir Cyprian Bridge, accompanied by H.M.5. Alacrity, proceeds direct to Hongkong. Adıniral Fanshawe, in the Royal Arthur, (which left Singapore road. stead yesterday with a mail and anchored for the night at Kuala fohore, goes thence direct to Fremantle. H.M.S. Fra leaves Kuala Johore also this morning with Admiral Atkinson- Willes and does not again call at Singapore in passing through on the way to Colombo. The conference must have been of a memor- able character and although necessarily confidential, It is proper to assume that its proceedings have been of a genuin,ly practical
nature.
just closed, suggests the question of the long- contemplated new dock for Tanjong Pagar This is understood to be conceived on a large enough scale to take anything now afloat in the Far East or likely to be for years to come. The truest economy in the long run will lie in the providing of sufficient margin for the needs of the future. Big displacements are the order of the day in the battleship class, and the tend ency is ever to increase displacement by a couple of thousand 1005 at a time. The idea was that there should be some sort of partner ship between the Tanjong Pagar Dock Comp any and the Admiralty over the new dock. But it is now understood that rather than be hampered with a number of special conditions and limitations which the Admiralty lien on the dock might entail, the Company will under take the entire cost, and, with that, exercise full control of the dock in their own interesis. If this decision has been actually come to, it is, we think, a sound one, and the revenues of the Company in the long run will reap all the benefit that is going.
