LOCAL NEWS, CHINESE NEWS. and all the NEWS. The Weekly, paper that saves you the trouble of writing Home.
The tragic explosion aboard H.M.S. Sepoy, which resulted in the death of six of the crew, is concisely recorded in this week's issue of the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also features a piquant case in which a Chinese Justice of the Peace in Singapore The defendant is charged with possession of opium.
and strongly denies the charge,
some illuminating discussions of Revenue Officers' alleged "methods" give added interest to the story..
Farewell ceremonies in honour of Sir Henry Gollan, who is leaving Hong Kong on retirement, are recorded in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, as is also a striking plea by Dr. Alexander Cannon (who is also to leave shortly) for unity between the Government and the University.
Knotty legal questions involved in a land deal where father and son were litigants were fully threshed out by the Chief Justice, who awarded judgment to the father. This case, with several others where knotty problems of Jaw were solved, is a feature of the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Banditry in China is still rife, one of the latest victims being Mr. Eric Scarlett, of Tientsin, who was attacked with a companion and killed.
The war outlook in the North continues to be rather obscure, but the latest news points to an attack on Marshal Yen and his allies being ordered by Marshal Chiang Kai- shek, with the Mukden Young General standing aloof. The latest developments are fully reported by cable in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Sports of all sorts, Home and local, are dealt with by the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL'S staff of experts, and "Wombat's" racing tips are earning him golden opinions. There is no phase of the life of the Colony or of China that does not receive attention in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL the weekly paper that YOU MUST ORDER NOW.
Letters to relatives and friends in other parts of the world frequently fall to be written even by the most ardant correspondents. It is a kindly thought, therefore, to caure that those away from the Colony, or folks at Home, should have an unfailing supply of Hong Kong and Chinese news every weekmby! means of a subscription to the "Overland China Mail!”
