Ia summing up His Worship said: This case showed the 'difficulty of dealing with this class of offenders. Here we have eleven men dis- tinctly making statements in which not one of them adheres to the truth, and they know it, There is no shadow of doubt that they are all guilty. This is an offence that is becoming too frequent in the barbour, and i have seen it my self, and it is impossible to believe their (defen. dants') statements, The offence of which they are guilty is in its nature a must reprehensible one, and involves considerable risk to boats and their crews when under way, and is also a most dangerous proceeding as it impents the pesi tion of the ship by tending to render her move- ments beyond the control of the master, the

The China Navigation steamer Changsha arrived in port this morning from 'Australian ports and was moored alongside Douglas wharf. On board ship were twenty-six Australian horses and six cows, in charge of Messrs. THE NANCHANG TRAGEDY, W. Garlick and W. Perry. The horses are mostly thoroughbreds and with the cows are consigned to Shanghai where they will be sold by public auction. They were landed and moved in the Hongkong Horse Repositar;, where they will be put on livery until their de pasture for the Northern.pert.. There was some excitement on the wharf when the cows were being walked down the gang-way. One animal rushed down the plank, cleared the wharf and dived into the sca. She was, after sometu, died yesterday from his injuries. trouble, lifted into a junk and the six cows were transported to the Stables. They are n fine specimen of cows and, we understand, were gathered from Western Australia.

Whatever we may think of the wisdom of Dr. Maci le's course, we can at least' pay tribute to his heroism and devotion.
Of late years it has become the fashion among a certain class to denounce the missionaries in China sweepingly and unreasoningly. That there are some who disgrace their calling and
bring reproach on the name of Him whom they serve will probably be regretfully admitted even by the missionaries themselves, but that these are representative of the missionary body as a whole is repudiated by the testimony of men whose word cannot be called in question.
Such men as Dr. Machle stand as living wit nesses to the character of those who are
carrying on the work enjoined upon them by the faith which they profess, Their acts give best answer to those who are so glib in denun ciation.
