MURDER OF FOREIGN MISSIONARY & SON. Meagre details have been cabled Home about the dastard- ly attack on a party of foreigners of the China Inland Mission* at Yunnan and a Roman Catholic priest who was in the party.
Yunnan is a quarter from which this latest outrage is most unexpected.
A missionary was murdered with one of his children. his wife was stabbed, the other child is missing and a lady missionary has disappeared!
You will be performing a duty to yourself out here and to people at Home by telling them exactly what occurred, if only as an illustration of how anti-foreign agitation has reached the remotest corner of China.
This week's "Overland China Mail" contains an exclusive report of the incident. Send Home a full report of the
outrage.
CASUALTIES ON BRITISH WARSHIPS.
Almost each day this week, there has been a despatch about 'casualties on British warships on the Yangtse River.
While acting as convoys to peaceful merchantmen. British and other non-Chinese bluejackets have been sub- jected to persistent fire.
To strengthen the hands of those who favour protection for British traders out here, put them in possession of the facts. Send them a copy of the "Overland" which we guarantee they will appreciate.
BEFORE SAYING GOODBYE.
Before saying goodbye to the Colony, whether you are leaving permanently or going on leave, do not forget to keep in touch.
Each week, the "Overland China Mail" serves as a link between old China bands" and the Far East.
The weekly, with the green cover, full of local features, news, China cables, explanations and comment, can be ordered at $15 a year (including postage abroad), or half- yearly or quarterly in proportion.
