Coxswains Fined

The untimely illness of two motor-junk engineers had a acquel in the Marine Court yesterday when the coxswains of their vessels were charged before Comdr. Ryder for al- lowing their vessels to be under way without a certificated engineer on board.

Chan Shing, fone of the Coxswaina, was fined $10 or 7 days after he had pleaded that his engineer was suddenly taken ill just before 5 p.m. and had to go ashore. When he failed to return Chan had to cake the vessel across to Yaumati Anchorage to avoid

mooring overnight without permission.

Leung Kwai, the other ac- cused, had nothing to say and was fined $20 or 7 days.

Leung Chuen-sing, on a simi- lar charge, failed to appear and his bail was estreated.

'Speculation in the Piastre reached fever hent yesterday, and at least one Chinese bank failed, as the wild scramble among buyers skyrocketed the price from $14.30 per 100 Piastres at the opening to $16.16 at noon. The market slightly weakened as a result of profit-taking by fortunate bulls in the afternoon and the closing rate was $15.85,
