Few people in Hongkeng, it indeed any at all, are coguisant at the very valuable addi- tions which are at the moment being made in our local aval Yard in the shape of new life- ing power. For two decades or more the Hongkong Naval. Atsebal has had to depend, for its hoisting gear, upon cranes and sheers of antiquated concepiikin and feeble power; but about this time last year the Admiralty woke up to the necessity of supplying something heiser in the shape of material før. lilting guas and other beavy weights from skip tỏ short, and vice versa; and, concluida contret with Messrs.
