CHEQUE HANDED TO MASTER OF FISHING JUNK.
::
RESCUED SURVIVORS.
There was an echo of the Lee Cheung disaster this morning, whto Chung Wah-tim, the master of a fishing junk, was presented with a chéque of $25 as a memento of the good work he rendered immediately after this vessel sank last Decem ber on a voyago from Swabue to Hongkong.
It will be recalled that the se Lee Cheung went down, with over 200 persons and only two members of the crew were rescued.
A fishing junk, of which Chung Wah-tam was master, picked up one of them near Waglan and the other some hours later.
After searching in vain for some time for other probablo survivars, Chung Wah-tim returned to Hong kong, bringing back with him the
two rescued seamen,
Quite a number of his friends gathered around him this morning at the Harbour Ofice immediately after he had been handed the cheque. The presentation made by the Harbour Master (Ilon. Commander G. F. Hole).
