There is a sad lack of means of communication with the outside world. There is only a mailt over in every nine days from either Singapore or Hongkong.

THE CHINESE.

Asked what impressions he had gathered with regard to the Chinese in the country, Mr. Hallifax said: "White no indentured Chinese labour is sent from here, there is a regular supply of assisted labour, whose contracts are arranged" on arrival. On estates, Chinese gen- erally work from 6-1 with an inter- val for the morning meal. They are paid by rosults (with a mini- mum wage) and appear perfectly contented.
