LUCK IN BONES.
JOSS PIDGIN_AT-LOCAL COLLEGE SITE.
MONEY MAKING SCHEME.
In what used to be the playground of St. Stephen's College for Boys, is an urn containing human bones dug up quite recently, at which Frowds of Chinese are frantically offering worship to obtain guidance in the simple matter of investment in Po Plu lotteries, one of the more Macao and elsewhere. flourishing forms of amusement in
Most local residents know that the old St. Stephen's College, building has been vacant for some months as a new school is being built. Work was started on the foundation for new buildings on the old schrol site, which had been acquired by a syndicate. In the Course of
excavation, human bones were found. These the workmen very of plously put in
Da urn.
Within a week, Chinese from streets in the vicinity had been to the urns to "chin-chin josa" and one of them, a congee hawker to be precise, wob a prize of over $1,000 as the result of receiving divine inspiration in choosing what characters he should take on the lottery "application ticket” No sooner had the news leaked out that such had happened than queues began to line up outside the old playground. Some brought their own sticks but the majority did not. There are 120 of the sticks, each with a character marked and the believer shakes the holder in front of the oracle til ten of the sticks drop out and the worshipper, accordingly, picks the ten characters marked. Here the workmen saw an opportunity for getting a part of the spoils if people were to be so lucky through worshipping at the urn. They put up a notice which signified that those bringing their own stick-boxes would be charged a fee of ten cents per visit while those who came empty-handed would be provided with boxes, fee fifteen cents.
No Cause For Alarm. It is thought that in parts of the hillside along Bonham and Pokfulam Roads, there must have been bodies of Chinese buried years ago and that the decovery of bones need give no cause for alarm. Just below the Bonham Road entrance to the Diocesan. Boys' School, a skull was found on the hillside about seventeen years ago.
"Haunted Flat."
This recent pilgrimage recalis to mind a story about the officials of a leading public company and Inspector Robertson late of the Hongkong Police. The company possessed a block of Chinese tone- ments at Catchick Street, Kennedy Town, about fourteen years ago. Tenants had complained to the company that people were trying, at midnight every night, to set the block on fire, and a report was made to the police, Investigations commenced and the inspector wrote to the manager giving him particulars. One flat had been vacant for months and those in the neighbourhood' got to believe that The freighter Lea Loong, female who had committed suicide It was haunted.
