"Misfortune rather than fault" was the Marine Magistrate's opinion in the case in which the master of a Canton river steamer was charged with allowing his vessel to be overloaded. Imposing only a nominal fine, the Magis- trate alluded to some interesting experiments he had made, personally, in the light of evidence during the enquiry, The OVERLAND CHÏNA MAIL reports what had become virtually a "test" case in its entirely.
The much-disputed ownership of a launch, which in its adventurous career, had been confiscated by "Reds" In Swatow, continues to occupy the attention of the Higher Court. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL, in its comprehen- sive report of the proceedings, elucidates the complex legal problems involved in the action.
As a sequel to a sensational arrest on a mail liner, just as it was about to sall, a local Master Mariner was fined $101,000, with the option of seven months' imprisonment at the Central Magistracy. The OVERLAND CHINA 'MAIL gives full details.
Hong Kong's fine response to the Seppy Victims' Dependants' Fund, first suggested by the China Mail, reached over £1,400. The report of the sponsors, and the method by which it will be distributed, are both reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The dramatic action of the Stewards of the Hong Kong Jockey Club in disqualifying a racing pony which won at the last Extra Meeting is exclusively reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. It was alleged that whisky had been administered to the pony before the races. As a result the Chinese trainer was discharged. The owner, however, `was completely exonerated, and the pony allowed to run
at the next meeting.
The misfortunes of the round-the-world junk Maskee, which set out from Hong Kong on a further stage of her journey, but was obliged to return owing to sickness amongst the crew, are chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
Social events in the Colony, including local weddings'. of interest, are brightly reported in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL also carries its usual special reports and comments on sport, particularly interest- ing being the sections dealing with local Lawn Tennis and Lawn Bowls. The scores in the Hong Kong y. Shanghai Interport are also included.
In the China news, a claim is made by the Nationalist forces of the dramatic capture of the important strategical lown of Kwelping. Many successes are claimed in addition, but reports from other sources emphatically deny them. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL gives the essential features of the messages from the various warring factions.
