Aviation Issues were higher In contrast to other sections.

"BRITISH GUNBOAT PROBING SHOOTING
(Continued from Page 1.)
shooting began. (P think it was most unjustified.
"Approximately 10 to 20 shots were fired, but we could not see the people who were firing, as they were 'evidently sniping from behind the banks. The shot that killed the Quartermaster passed within a few inches of the Capinin and myself as we were almost between hin and the
ne of .Arc. The bullet ricochetted from the steel railing, went through the door of the wheel- house and passed through the man's chest.
"I was uninjured, but the Captain got scratch from a flying splinter. The second engineer, Mr. Van Langesburg, had ʼn narrow escape, a shot making a hole through his pants, but not touching his leg at all, .
"Miss Scarlett Was sitting in a front cabin. She came out and said: I've got one, too. A bullet had gone through the door of an adjacent cable, through some deck chairs, through the partition, and grazed her leg. Fortunately she was not serious- ly injured,
"We put back to Pak Hal, where we landed the body, of the Quarter- master. He was a native of Macro, I believe, and had been with the Tai Lee for nine months. Miss Scarlett decided to go 10 hospital at Puk Hai to have her wound attended to, and we came back without her. Before.

OF LIES
BURGLAR SENT TO PRISON
Mr. E. Ilimsworth, at the Kowloon Magistracy, thia morning dealt with n case in which Heung Chun-wo, 21, shop toki, was charged with the burglary at a tailor shop at 39 Hot- phong itoad and the stealing of two silk jackets and three one dollar notes from Cheng Sul-lau, tailor.
Yesterday, defendant stated that he worked at a rice shop, owned by Chiu Chung-hing..
and that he could bring evidence to Court that he was in this shop at the time the
larceny was alleged to have been committed,
An employee of the rice shop was brought forward this morning as wit- ness for the defence, but he admitted that he had never seen defendant and that he certainly did not work in the rice shop in which he claimed to be employed.
Defendant told the Court that when he said that he was working in the rice shop, he really meant the one
next door.
His Worship:-The witnesses you have called in your defence do not share your story, and wish to have nothing to do with you or your case. Everything you have said in this Court has been a pack of lies. The les you told were not only lies, but were very foolish lies. I find you guilty of the charge brought against you,"
Defendant was sentenced to six months' imprisonment.

"Do you think these people had a set against the Tal Lee, particularly?" he was asked,
"I don't know." replied the Chief Omeer.
"I think some service rifles
