Mr. and Mrs. Hynes left by the P. and O. liner Kalyan to-day, tak ing with them the best wishes of a host of friends for their hap piness and good health in the Old Country. They intend to settle down in North Devon, where they have had a country residence built.
First Eastern Post. Mr. Hynes was educated at Bed- ford School, and he joined the London branch of the Hongkong and Shanghai Bank in 1893. After three and a half years' service, he first came East, being appointed in 1897 to Penang, where he re- for assistant mained as junior three years. From there, he was transferred to the Singapore office of the Bank, remaining for seven months, and then for two years he served in Bangkok, at the conclusion of which he went on Home leave. Returning in March, 1004, Mr. Hynes made his first acquaintance with Hongkong, re- maining here until March, 1909, when he was transferred to Amoy to take charge. After two months, he again went on leave, and in 1010 he was appointed as manager of the Ipoh Agency, this being tho first of the Bank's 'agencies in the F.M.S. Here he stayed until 1912, when, in July, he was appointed to the Head Office in Hongkong as Chief Accountant. This posi- tion he held until February. 1915, and he became Acting Sub-Mana- ger until October of that year, when he again proceeded on leave.

A great boulder that had been loosened by the first shock broke loose and went bounding down the hillside, smashing through the shrubs in the garden and carrying away twenty yards of the compound wall.
