The mysterious death of a European in Hong Kong, presenting somewhat remarkable features, occurred when Mr. D. G. Carstairs, area Manager for the Navy, Army, and Air Force Institute, was found dead in bed, stabbed in the abdomen, with a knife lying beside him. Up to the present moment no definite facts as to his death have been proved, but murder is suspected. The full report of the tragedy appears in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL,

Following upon the arrival of Mr. Sun Fo and Mr. Eugene Chen, and their subsequent departure for Canton, sensational reports as to big arms deals in the Colony were current. Also, trouble which arose in Hainan island neces- sitated the sending of a British destroyer to the scene, and merchant vessels also stood by. The OVERLAND CHINA MAIL contains the official account of the episode in Hainan.

An extraordinary situation at the Criminal Assizes is also chronicled in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL. At the outset of a murder trial it was discovered that the only medical witness for the Crown was not in the Colony. Strong comment upon the fact was made by the Chief Justice, and the witness was directed to be called for to return immediately.

In the sporting world, the Whitsuntide meeting of the Hong Kong Jockey Club provided some bly surprises, and is reported in entirety in the OVERLAND CHINA MAIL.
