Having the service it was anticipated that Hancock would win the next game, and therely give Norrie a good tussle for the set. The first ball was returned into the net by Norrie, the second he put over smartly and Hancock returned too hard, the ball going well behind the court. Again Norrie returned into the net, and the fourth point was won by Norrie through Hancock misjudging the force required to land the ball inside the court.. The score was then thirty all and Hancock displeased his supporters by failing to- return an easy ball, sending it into the net instead. He secured the next point, Norrie returning an extra fast one with slightly mors vim than necessary and the ball went behind. The next two points were won by Norrio and amid applause the match concluded, Norrie winning each set.

On April 28 the whole valley of the Siang was deep under water, the floode passing over the dykes in fierce torrents, the roaring of which could be heard afar. On that date the great city of Siangtan, the terminus of the river steamers, thirty miles South of Changah, was beginning to be submerged. The riverside houses had water in to their second storeys, the main street being also impassable to foot passengers. All business was at a standstill.
