REPORTS BY IMPORTS FOR
PAST FORTNIGHT
The following reports have been supplied by importers to the Hong- kong General Chamber of Commerce.
Cotton Piece Goods & Fancy Cotton Goods.The following reports have been received:
tragic encounter on Saturday had been making periodical trips to mainland points on the Chinese and on the Canton Delta.
Early on Saturday morning the vessel left Shamshuipo on one of these trips, having on board cargo whose nature appears to have come under suspicion as contraband for smuggling ashore into Chinese territory.
Aboard were also a number of Chinese passengers, although it is claimed that this was not generally known.
Under Observation. From this point, the junk, locally registered as T2051H, appears to have been kept under observation, and when it left the harbour it is alleged to have been followed by the Customs launch Kwan Lui and stopped when outside Lycemun Paes for the purposes of a search.
An exchange of shots is then said "to have taken place. Provoked, it is claimed, by the junk firing on her first, the Kwan Lui opened up with her quick-firer... Apparently a number of shots fired struck the. junk, and killed a three-year-old "child, daughter of a passenger.
The junk then hove to.
The affair was one between the Customs cruiser and the junk, and the local Police only knew of it when a radio call for assistance was received and a Police launch was sent out to tow in the dis-
tressed junk.

It is needless to attempt to ex- haust East's hand of diamondu because you intend to take the club finesse right into the West hand, and if it falls your contract will be defeated, as he will win with the king and cash four dia- mond tricks
Therefore you should employ the hold-up when intending to take the finesse into the hand of the partner of the opening lead er, but it is not necessary to use the hold-up when you intend to take the finesee directly into the hand of the opening leader.
