The majority, however, the affair from the windows of the adjacent offices which choice, in view of the subsequent proceeding, was a most judicious one. At 1.37 p.m. at the order of "down toms and out daggers the vessel started upon her way to the Whangpu, After travelling about 5 inches she, with the perverseness of her sex, stopped and despite the gentle suasion of screw jacks &c. refused to budge. Red noses and cold versal, it was decided to proceed with the feet becoming respectively prominent and uni- ceremony.
The christening was performed by Miss Zung Pel Zung, the daughter of Mr. Chia Tung, one of the oldest officials of the C. M. S. N. Co. Miss Zung, who is probably the first Chinese lody that has ever officiated in a similar capa. city, gracefully named the vessel, saying as the bottle broke on the stem-"I name thes Hsin Kong, success to thee," after which, the
party adjourned to the shipwrights, who

worked with screw jacks etc., in the attempt to Ect the ship into the water.
After moving about feet, the vessel "Jib.. bed again" and remained in the same position until 4.15 p.m, when all further attempts were abandoned; the vessel was then secured and the launching postponed until the following day. the warm offices speech
making became the add coay off day Peter Prentice thanked all present for their attend. ing, he apologised for the hitch in the launch- ing but the vessel had gone "a little way be. fore she stopped" and he hoped that they would see that she was launched all right, in the newspapers on Monday. Mr. Prentice concluded by asking all present to drink success to the Hrin Kong together with the C. M.. N. Co, Mr. T. Weir and also the young lady who christened the vessel. The toast was drunk with enthusiasm.
Mr. T. Weir responded on behalf of the C.M. Co, thanking Mr. Prentice for his kind remarks and said that he was sorry to disappoint all present in that the ship did not go off. He hoped that she would do so however, in grand style" the following day.
The vessel was a credit to her builders, the C.M.S.N., Co. and also to Shanghai She was the largest seagaing steamer ever built here and that the China Merchants Co, bad every confi dence in the builders was shown by their. having the vessel constructed here, as also a a fine river boat. The fisin Kong was what
might called "a gond poor man's ship." Hour: ever, ber fittings and machinery were the best. possible to get in any port of the world. (Loud applause),
Mr. Prentice briefly returned thanks for the many kind things he had heard and hoped all present would be at the launch of another C, M, ship this time next year (laughter). Much amusement, was occasioned by the speaker's references to prominent pfficials of two local steamship companies who were present, by
