woman
A Chinese detective said the husband told him that his wife had taken some ho min tang. Witness knew the herb as & poi- sonous plants. The husband, and wife had always been quarrelling and after the woman's death he learned that, they had quarrelled on May 23. He understood from neighbours that the two had not been on very good terms.
Evidence was also given that they had a fight on May 22 and a witness said he thought this was the cause of the woman commit- ting suicide. The daughter, dis- appeared on June 12, but the hus- band.said he would go to court to hear the case. Neither of " them had appeared however, and on Sunday their house at Stanley was locked up.

Disappearance Due To Fright.
Sergeant Langley, formerly in charge of Stanley police station said he understood the daughter had gone to the country, thought the disappearance of the husband and daughter was merely a cane of fright as villagers were nervous people.
The husband had no real busi- nees interests in Stanley, and wit nesa thought it was quite likely he would return. When he examined the woman's body he found no signs of violence, and had no rea- son to suspect. foul play.
He had been unable to get neighbours to come to court and apeak of the relations between man and wife.
Mr. Lindsell adjourned the in- quiry sine die, adding that the police officer now in charge at Stanley should call the man to court to give evidence as soon as he returned.
Immediately after the accident a tow-boat was summoned, and the "Kowloon," from the Gowdown Company, arrived shortly after 6.30 p.m. The tug towed the ferry off without any further trouble, the Solar Star then being taken back in tow by the Evening Sta: to the Company's wharf for minor repairs.
It is not, thought that any ex- tensive overhaul will be necessary, and the ferry will probably be on the service again this evening, or to-morrow morning
