We had many falls (moon however serious) owing to posies slipping on the cobble. or off the narrow stone bridges and high bands, and though possibly with more practice and without shots, our ponies would become accustomed to such work, there is no doubt that the small local "at" of about 11 bands in beigh', and accustomed to go about unshed, is better suited for the country in queițion. “
Wevisited the following telephonsalations Sheung Shui, Taku-Ling (Kong-Tau-Ha), Shau. Ta Kok, Tai-Po, San-Tin, Au-Tao, and Ping-Shun, and followed the line of wires, most of which, however, were down or in bad onder, presumably the result of the late typhoon.
The Samchun River was followed, partly on foot, parily on pories, and parity by boat, from its sources to its mouth. Several fordable points were discovered between Lola ferry and Kong Tau Ha, though possibly at high water fiese might not be available.

The Kong-Tau-Ha, Fanling, and Kamtin Valleys, were visited and well explored. Castle Peak and Shap Hat Heung Valleys being well known to most of our men, were merely crossed ex route to the Aptau and Ping Shan Police Stations;

There were no Japanese restaurants in the city conducted in European style before the earthquake. When the limits of the sphere of business of the Japanese and white people were destroyed by the earthquake disaster, the Japanese vantured to set their hands on the restaurant business, and their boycott ensued last year, being revived recently when the restaurants' were attacked by rowdies. In the past 20 years the Japanese have opened new branches of business, gradually extending their trade, and whenever an opportunity arose, the white men did not fail to avail themselves of it for the purpose of disturbing the Japanese business.
