HUNTING BIG GAME ON THE OCEAN,
The swordfish is lord and master of
every creature that lives in the sea. He is an absolute ruler, and holds the power of life and death over all the inhabitants of the mighty deop. This is the dictum of Dr John H. Girdner, who, in the New York 'World,' tells of his experience with them whilst on board a fishing smack bent on taking es many as possible. The swordfish ho speaks of as a ruler by divine right— the incarnation of independence, courage, He eats nothing strength, and speed. which he has not killed with his own aword in open battle. When angered or wounded, he will attack anything afloat. The killing of the swordfish is more suggestive of hunt- ing big game than catching any other kind of fish. Indeed, the writer quoted mentions the sport as being justly compared to hunt- ing lions.
:
Swordfish vary in weight from about 100lb, to 1000lb, as they come from the wa ter, the average being about 30 lb. to 500lb. The flesh is firm, almost muscular, and a steak out from the neck or near the front fins has, when boiled, the consistency of tender beefsteak. He is covered with a tough skin like the catfish, which is beauti-, fully iridescent when first taken from the 1376 water. But the crowning glory of a sword--
fish is his sword. As a weapon of offence or defence it leaves nothing to be desired. One could not imagine it better suited to its purpose. The sword is firmly set in the upper jaw, or rather it is a continuation of the nose and upper lip; it varies from two to five feet in length; it is three to five in-
ches broad where it leaves the skin, and tapers to a sharp point; it is flat and doubl- edged. In substance the sword closely re- semibles ivory, except along the edges and

Then the harpoonist steadied himself poised. the harpoon two fect from the water, and then cling. The bronze dart had gona clean through the swordfish, carrying the attached rope with it, slung at right angles six inches below its belly. The fish darted down, overboard went the keg and 300ft, of coiled rope, and the schooner kept on after further game. Soon the fish straightened out the rope, and began towing the keg. After time it became quiet, and the schooner made for the spot, whilst one of the crew went off in a row-boat to tend to the fish. Subsequently, after a good deal of manoeuvring, the fight was hauled up to the neighborhood of the boat. When the fish
saw the boat, it summoned its remaining strength and charged it. This slackened the rope, and the seaman soon had him alongside. Holding the rope with one hanữ, he drove a gaff just behind the gills; the water about the boat was red with blood, and the battle was over. He passed noose over the two flukes of its tail, hauled it up to the stern of the boat, made the noose fast to a thwart, and was ready for "the schooner. T
In all, 14 fish were taken in that way on the particular trip under notice.
There were a number of exciting and dangerous incidents, as there always is when swordfish are being taken.

Their origin and their success is most interesting. Some years ago Chas. Forde, an eminent Australian scientist, discovered a purely vegetable substance which has the peculiar property of acting on the human system in exactly the same way as nature's animal substance, bile. After much careful study he combined this substance with some eight other vegetable ingredients, and then concentrated the product so obtained until a suitable dose could be compressed into the space offered by a small bean. This medicine made up in the form of a bean for the bilo," soon became widely known as Bile Beans. Their use simply revolu tionised the old mathod of pepsin, bismuth, or mercury dosing, and of starving sufferers from liver trouble and indigestion by placing them on liquid diet. Bile Beans do not give temporary relief only, and leave. the patient weakened, like the out-of-date, so-called remedies of forty or fifty years ago, containing probably aloes, mercury, and other harmful druge,
Bile Beans, without the slightest discom fort, prompt the liver and digestive organs to act in nature's normal way, leaving those organs strengthened and stimulated
They produce a gentle action on the bowels, caring or preventing constipation, cleansing the stomach and riding the system of all impurities. Do not be misled by claims of half a hundred pills in the box where probably four to six constitute a dose, and the doses cannot be discontinued, One Bile Bean is one dose. They can be dis continued after the cure is effected; they are purely vegetable; they do not contain any harmful drugs, and they, are the safest family medicine.
Bile Beans are a cure for indigestion, debility, biliousness, constipation, piles, nervousness, anemia, female silments, weakness, colds, chills, neuralgia, rheuma tion, pains in the back, sleeplessness, loss of appetite, congestion of the liver, bead- ache, flatulence, pimples, skin eruptions, and a host of ailments having a common origin in impurity of the blood--a general congestion of the system and loss of vital force. Obtainable from all chemists and medicine vendors. Price 75 cents (Mex, per bottle.

Some people are never satisfied. Some time ago, there were numerous complaints of the slowness of the electric cars and now the complaint is the other way about, for quite a number say that the pace, at which the cars travel along the Praya East is in excess of the speed regulations. However, this is a good sign, if not carried to excess, and shows that the Company is getting the service into good working order.

DESTITUTE SEAMEN.
How to Deal With Thom.
A local resident of long standing, who is thoroughly conversant with the treatment of discharged seamen in the port, has kind- ly favoured us with his views on the sub- ject. In an interview with a representa- tive of the CHINA MAIL he asserted that no senmen are or should be--discharged in the Colony without first of all being duly guaranteed by the Sailor Home or some responsible citizen, and if any seamen land permanently without their discharge thore is a way to deal with them."
If a man doserts from a ship it is the duty of the captain to report the fact to the Harbour Master and the police, and if the man is afterwards discovered by the police he can be prosecuted and confinet to gool. After the expiration of any son tence that might be imposed the Harbour Master might, if he sees fit, have the man
sent home at the expense of the Board of Trade. if a British subject, as a distressed seaman, and if he happens to be a foreigner there is an international agreement between Great Britain and all European countries that they take charge
of men under such conditions.
This way out of the difficulty appeared, our informant confessed, to be honoured more in the breach than the observance, but he added that if a ship comes to Hongkong and discharges her crew with the object of taking on Chinese the authorities here are supposed to see that the men are taken
care of.
The question of whether they did so was not hurriedly answered in the affirmative, from which our representative gathered they did not if they could avoid it."
Hongkong is, of course, the dumping ground for the whole of the treaty ports of the East and the ports of Japan, our in- formant went on, and it is from these places that most of the men who get on the. beach here come. To deal with such men, however, there is an Ordinance, which, if enforced, could hold all ships responsi ble for any
whom they might

This was published in the CHINA MAIL on January 13 and several times since and no correction whatever was made by the authorities, nor did we receive any programme with the alterations in the times. Such negligence, whoever is respon- sible, led yachtsmen to believe the races would start at the times given instead of which they were sent off two hours earlier. start in each case was between Meyer's East Buoy and the Oil Pier and here again there was difficulty.

Better to send the men straight away from the Colony at the Government's expense and get rid of them. There is no need for people to put their hands in their pockets to keep them here in idleness,
