OBITUARY.
GENERAL WHO RELIEVED MAFEKING.
London, Sept. 24. The death is announced of Gen- eral Sir Bryan Mahon-Reuter.
[Bryan Thomas Mahou, the Bri- tish general, was born at Belle- ville, Galway, Ireland, in April, 1862. Obtaining a commission in the Sth Hussars in 1985, he was soon afterwards sent to India. Transferred to Egypt in 1898, he took part in the Dongola expedi- tion against the Dervishes, win- ning the D.S.0. He also served during the further advances into. the Sudan, including the capture of Khartum. and gained his. brevet colonelcy.
In the South African war the chief task allotted to him was the relief of Mafeking, which had been besieged by the Boers for some months. This operation had to be carried out Becretly by means of a dash with a light force. Word was conveyed to Baden-Powell,, the commander in Mafeking that the attempt would be made. He sent a message back asking the strength of the force. No cipher had been arranged and it was undesirable to send a run- ner with a message stating the facts openly. Mahon sent the fol- the lowing: "Our numbers are Naval and Military Club multi- plied by 10: our guns the number
of sons in the Ward family and our supplies the 0.C. 9th Lan- cers."
Baden-Powell, knowing that the club'a address was 94 Piccadilly, that there were six young Wards and that the 0.C. mentioned was named Little. interpreted the message easily. The dash was successful, the small force charg- ing through the besiegers' lines and not only taking the Boers by surprise, but leaving them with the fear that it was the advance guard of a larger body. For this service Mahon got the C.B.
Returning to the Sudan, he was Military Governor of Kordofan from 1901 to 1904. Thence he went back to India and for some years commanded the Lucknow Division. In 1912 he was knight- ed (K.C.V.O.)..
On the outbreak of the war he was given the command of the Irish Division. He took part in the Dardanelles operations and afterwards commanded the Salonika army. But in 1916 he was recalled to become Comman- der-in-Chief in Ireland, an ap- pointment which, as he was an Irishman and had a record res pected by both English and Irish was regarded in view of the need for tactful handling of the people after the suppression of the re-

MRS. MACDONALD, Highly Respected Kowloon Resident.
of
A recent arrival to the Colony. Mrs. Macdonald, the mother Mr. T. J. Macdonald of the In- surance Department of Messrs. Jardine, Matheson and Co, Ltd.. passed away yesterday morning at the Peak Hospital..
The deceased, who was 66 years of age, had been in Hongkong for only a few months, but during this time made a host of friends and was much admired for her many sterling qualities. She came down earlier in the year from Shanghai, where she had resided for many years and was well-known to a wide circle of friends there.
The deceased had not been in good health for some time. Much sympathy will be extended to Mr. Macdonald in his bereave- ment.
The funeral took place at. the Protestant Cemetery yesterday afternoon, and was attended by many members of the staff of Messrs. Jardine's. The Rev. H. V. Koop officiated.
