Temple, which bequeaths authentic west are Re 2nd her-I should not have applied for more than two months half pay leave, but the sailing arrangements are such that I have to. Strangers prove Vancouver Rat Renis nostramer leaving for Hong Kong from the 13th inst. until the one which sails about the middle of May. The first week in January.
