Bios Bay's latest contribution to the history of piracy in this part of the world might appear even more fantastic than some of the exploits of the Spanish Main. Those who actually came into contact with the devils, however, includ- ing the gallant officers of the Mercantile Marine, will bear sloquent testimony to the utter ruthlessness of the "Halching" gang, who were repelled and, later, chased off by the Royal Navy. Not only to impress people at Home, but also to provide them with more than interesting reading, one should send an account of the affair.
The "Overland China Mall," the only illustrated weekly news budget published in Hong Kong, contains a fine description of the attack, counter-attack and other incidents on the "Halching." Special pictures have been included. The demand has been enhanced and the supply limited, Be certain of filling your requirements before it is too late. The printed matter can be cul out, if necessary, and sent vin Siberia as a letter. Hong Kong's imagination has been stirred. That of folks in the Old Country has been captured. And a copy of the "Overland" is sure to be appreciated.
There is much else in the "Overland." Readers will be told what has occurred at Nanking to necessitate the evacuation of non-Chinese women and children, including a number of Britons. The horrors of war in China will be brought home to those who see the short versions in the Home papers. Sympathy will be evoked for those in the danger zone of which there are more than one....
In short this week's "Overland" is well worth sending away. The cost is little. If it is too much trouble, just leave an order with the "Overland China Mall" and every- thing will be done for you.
