ARMED PARTIES LANDED,
The arrival of H.M.S. Foxglove at Startling Inlet on Saturday, following a wireless message from the naval authorities, put an end to an unpleasant incident at Shataukok.
On Friday morning a party of cadets and strikers boarded two junks which arrived the previous day with cargo for a grocer at Shataukok. On the pretence that they had reason to suspect that the goods had been poisoned, they forcibly removed Into Chinese territory 30 cases of aerated water and a number of the people employed in unloading the cargo,
On Saturday morning, a party of cadeta armed with rifles and machine guns,, crossing into Bri- tish territory, opened fire on the junks, and boarding them, poled❤ them into Chinese territory in the direction of. Im Tin. Sergeant Knowles, accompanied by two constables, gave chase in a pin- nace, and was greeted with a volley from the shore. Occasional sniping and more volley firing was then indulged in, but the occupants of the pinnace for- tunately escaped injury Getting under cover of the opposite side of the Inlet, the pinnace await- ed the arrival of help from Hongkong.
H.M.S. Foxglove arrived short- ly after 5 p.m., and despatched two armed parties in boats, Mr. E. I. Wynne-Jones (D.O., North), Mr. W. G.

The Police officials re- turned to the Foxglove and reported that about two-thirds of the cargo was on board the junks. They later returned to their station:
The appearance of the sloop had the desired effect, and the people on shore desisted from further firing, realising that dis- cretion was the better part of valour.
OBITUARY.
MAJOR WILLIAM HAVILLAND
CAREY.
HONGKONG CLUB ACCIDENT.
The death of Major W. H. Carey at Pentrelew, W. Falmouth, came as a shock to his many friends in Guernsey. Though only 56 years of age, it is doubtful if he ever fully recovered from a terrible accident which befell him at the Hongkong Club when still a very young man. Major Carey was the eldest son of Major-General W. D. Carey (late), R.A. As an officer in the Royal Garrison Artillery, he was stationed in Ireland, Malta, Ceylon, Hongkong and Sierra Leone. He retired from the ser vice in 1908, and resided in S. Devon and Cornwall.
