NOTE.
This little brochure, which excited much interest and amusement during publication-individuals being so thinly disguised-albeit highly coloured and somewhat gory, very accurately voices the uneasiness felt by all thinking men, naval, military and civilians alike, for the safety of this our farthest eastern base.
The paucity of the Garrison, the undefended state of the southern shores of the island, and the unsatisfactory nature of our occupation of the Kowloon peninsula are here thrown into high relief. Incidentally the absence of regularly-trained official Consuls at Saigon and Vladivostock is touched ou
The able and comprehensive review of these articles, published in the China Mail of the 12th Oct. last, sums up in ten short sentences the warnings desired to be conveyed. Recent events in China indicate that the old order is changing. This little pamphlet is therefore sent forth to wider fields in the caruest hope that, being forewarned, we may forearm.
