THE HONGKONG TELEGRAPH. WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1935.
AN IMPRESSION OF HONGKONG
By Vincent T. S. Gordon
Hannibal crossed the Alps (or vas if the Andes?) on an elephant, I believe, and achieved worldwide Fame. I have just, returned from the exhilarating pastime of climb. ng from the terminus of the Peak allway to a fling pole situated, it em. thousands of miles above a level. The point is that I think the elephant should be given all the redit, or at least should have a monument erected to ith memory. An American recently tried te emulate this fent, but the elephant said "No." Should anybody agnin ask me to make the ascent, I shall stipulate that no athletes be present to force me along at their speed.
On of the big spectacular scenes in the "Tropical Express Non- Stop Retus", which is opaning its short local season at the King's
Theaten to day.
