After the Police had concluded their investigations, the China Navigation S.S. Co.'s "Tean" was released yesterday and proceeded to buoy B9 in the harbour..

It has since been revealed that while the "Tean" was at Bias Bay, under the control of about thirty pirates who had broken out at Holhow, the Chinese Maritime Customs cruiser "Yeungshing" fired a shot across her bows but without effect.

Intest policies deal with navigation by air. Certainly non-marina business will play an ever-growing role; and this is borne out by a final paragraph, which says:—

"One of the most astonishing symbols of development in the an-1 nals of commerce is contained in al statement made by the chairman of Lloyd's on July 18, 1923, when hel said, that “Non-marine guarantees at Lloyd's had grown; from £366,- 000 in 1904 to thirteen million in 1921. There is avary indication that this development will be pro- greave, and it is difficult to set limits to the possibilities of the future. Why is it that, no matter what emergency may arise, the ap- prehension and alarms of the or dinary trader or private citizer can find a sedative at Lloyd's?
