But yester day, in several districts, it seemed as if even the hardened coolies could not go on with the
work.
HARBOUR-WORK HAMPERED. The greatest pursible difficulty was experi- enced yesterday, when the Empress of China arrived, bringing the Canadian mail; and a num- her of passengers, in getting to and from the steamer to land passengers, and also when the German Mail arrived to-day, as the launch qweers wera Aciually refusing to accept as much as-$20 per trip, the trip not to exceed one hour, and further refused to accept Sco for three hours' hire. No doubt they look upon this as their harvest, and reap it to the full they will. But they pursue a pennywise and pound-foolish policy for none of those who have, perforce, to submit to the "squeeze" now, will, when conditions have fairly well eighted themselves,, ever patronize these launches again.

Sha preserted a sorrowful picture. When seen by a representative of this paper, they jold that those on board the launch had had a fearful time. When the typhoon struck the Colony on the 18th jpstant, the launch wat her moor. ing at Tai-po, New Territory. Steam was put on, but it was of no avail, and the No. 3 dragged
her anchor, She was pitched and tassed about mercilessly and on one or two oc- casions it got so bad that those on board thought she was going over, The awning WAB removed bodily, stanchions bestand twisted, the life-boat cartled away from
ho davits and in fact, using the words of one of those on board her at the time, they "were at the point of destruction when the wind veered" and they were saved. No lives were lost aboard her, but the damage suitained to the No. 3 amounted to more than $300. Im- mediately the weather quieted, they steamed for Hongkong, arriving here yesterday afternoon.. Those on board report that an entering the harbour the whole sea was strewn with wreckage, and more than 10, dead bodies were seen float. ing out.

BISHOP FOUND IN MACAO.
A visitor from Macao inform us that a body of a European was found on the beach at Macau, below the Guis Lighthouse, at the fout of the hill where the Parsee Cemetery is situated. The body was encased in a white sweater, and the face was clean-shaven, and was believed to be that of the Bishop of Victoria.
Angrifer body of a European, but bearded, was found on the shore at Colowan, opposite, Macao,.
