It was while he was leaving the Hong- keng Club on his way home, thai' the un- fortunals accident happened. Mr. Danby, it would appear, while descending the granite stairway, slipped at the turning and in falling fractured his akull. He was later found lying in an unconscious condition at the bottom of the stairway. His injuries we temporarily attended to, after which he was despatched to hospital. He never regained consciousness and expired, as already stated, this afternoon.
