Hon. Mr. A. O. Lang, Chairman, in making the presentation, said: Your Excellency-It is a great pleasure to have you with us this afternoon and in view of the special circumstances which prompted the | invitation we feel greatly honoured

by your presence.

We have asked you to come here to-day, Sir, in order that we might express our profound thanks for the gallant and invaluable services rendered by your Excellency, the Captain, officers and ship's company of HM. flag- ship "Hawkins" to the Bank at Yokohama, and the staff at tached thereto, during the dark days following immediately upon the terrible earthquake which wrought such devastation in Japan early in September.

I may say that our work at Yokohama was most unpleasant in the midst of such death and de struction, but the least unpleasant, in fact I might almost call it a holi- day to the torpedo department, was blowing in by gun cotton, the door, of the Bank safe. I must congratulate the Bank on the strength and efficiency of their strong-room. It resisted all our HONGKONG LEAGUE DIVISION I efforts till we resorted to gun cot-] ton and then I am glad to note, as) you all know, we found the inside unhurt. The Bank leads the mercantile world, and I am sure this is an instance in which they proved it by having the best safe. In all other cases damage by fire or actually baking the inside was the result.

I turn to this very handsome gift. We appreciate the very

kind thought of giving-it-and. we ́ap- preciate the fact that it is the handsomest and most unique trophy that has ever been given to any of H. M. ships.

Again, Mr Chairman, on behalf of the flagship, I thank the whole court of directors for their most handsome present.
