Spread of the

On the 20th June the boys at the Peak Hotel and the Peak Club walked out, and on the next day the employees of the Lower Tramways ceased work. House-boys on the Peak began to steal away, and the Chinese staffs of the Repulse Bay Hotel, Hongkong Hotel, and Cafe Wisemen also disappeared, Stevedores and cargo-coolies refused to work ships; the telegraph-messengers also struck.

The movement gat- hered momentum every day, the employees of business houses and private citizens, and even of the Government, deserting their posts in quickening succession, until a sudden check came early in July.

Engineers Guild, Mr. Hon Man-wai, who is the chief mechanic at the Hongkong University. He issued a bold manifesto advising

his own men to stick to their work; and he and his Guild firmly resisted all pressure brought to bear on them to reverse the decision they had made by ballot.

living conditionsf It was neither, but an emibition or pure

terror, of panic fear, in all but a very few cases. One would imagine that only desperate danger could induce such extreme

fright, but in point of fact, the very slightest causes
