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 is charged with possession of opium. The defendant strongly denies the charge, and some illuminating discussions of Revenue Officers' alleged "methods" give added interest to the story.
-Farewell ceremonies in honour of Sir Henry Gallan, who is leaving Hong Kong on actirement, 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.
Knolly 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 law were solved, is a feature of the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
+
Bandiiry 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.
