following facts:-
A hospital for the treatment of cholera patients has been opened at Lai Chi Kok.
An angler came ashore at Hamble, Hants, yesterday and proudly show- ed Captain Benjamin Chaplin a 25lb. tope he had caught in South- ampton Water.

ing. Needless to say, every effort| is being taken by the hospital au- thorities to minimise this danger.
The medical authorities consider it desirable that the attention of the general public should be invited to the fact that Lai Chi Kok Bath- ing Beach lies within the harbour limits. In other words, persons bathing in these waters run a pos- sible risk of infection with cholera.
Recent investigations in Far Eas- tern waters have shown that cholera germs can live for as long as forty-seven days in sea water.
