(By "Veckay").

The Gold Rush is not only on, but has accelerated as hundreds, perhaps thousands as the day wore on, wound their way up the steep slopes of Mount Parker throughout yesterday. It may have only been a more multitudinous Sunday crowd, though probably the official statement attesting to gold valued at H.K.$1,520,000 be- » ing unaccounted for might have given the rush added impetus.

Everyone was there yesterday from Sookunpoo Jim and Deadeye Lim to Yaumati and his Partner. The scene from Island Road resem- bled the type of migration that comes of an ant hill being upset, as two long streams caught the eye, one wending uphill and the other down.
