MERCER, Colonial Secretary.\n\nDOWNING STREET, 20th June, 1864.\nSIR,-I transmit to you, herewith, a copy of a letter from the Secretary to the Royal National Life Boat Institution, with copies of new Instructions which have been issued by that Institution, for the Restoration of Persons Apparently Drowned.\n\nI have been informed by the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, that the Medical Director-General of the Navy has given it as his opinion that the Instructions in question are valuable, and that they have been circulated in the Royal Navy; I have therefore no hesitation in giving to these Instructions the circulation desired by the Committee of the Institution.-I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient humble Servant,\n\n**EDWARD CARDWELL.**\n\nGovernor SIR H. ROBINSON,\n&c. &c. &c.\n\n(Copy.)\n\nMr. Lewis to the Secretary of State for the Colonies.\n\nROYAL NATIONAL LIFE BOAT INSTITUTION, 14, JOHN-STREET, ADLEPHI, LONDON, 26th May, 1864.\n\nSIR, I am directed to transmit to you a few copies of the new Instructions issued by the Royal National Life Boat Institution for the Restoration of the Apparently Drowned.\n\nThese Instructions are the result of extensive inquiries which have recently been made by the Institution amongst medical men, medical bodies, and coroners throughout the United Kingdom.\n\nThe Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty have ordered 1,000 copies to be circulated throughout Her Majesty's Fleet, and the Commodore Controller-General of Coast Guard has also requested 2,000 copies to be supplied for distribution throughout the Coast Guard Service.\n\nThe Committee are desirous that these directions should be known throughout the British Colonies, and they would therefore feel much obliged if you would do them the honour to direct that the accompanying letters, containing packets of the same, be transmitted to the respective Governors of the Colonies.--I have, &c.,\n\n(Signed)\n\n**RICHARD LEWIS,**\nSecretary.\n\n# TREATMENT OF THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.\n\n## ROYAL NATIONAL LIFE-BOAT INSTITUTION.\n\nINCORPORATED BY ROYAL CHARTER. -SUPPORTED BY VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS,\n\n**PATRONESS.-Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN.**\n\n## DIRECTIONS FOR RESTORING THE APPARENTLY DROWNED.\n\nThe leading principles of the following Directions for the Restoration of the apparently Dead from Drowning are founded on those of the late Dr. Marshall Hall, combined with those of Dr. H. R. Silvester, and are the result of extensive inquiries which were made by the Institution in 1863-4 amongst Medical Men, Medical Bodies, and Coroners throughout the United Kingdom. These Directions have been extensively circulated by the Institution throughout the United Kingdom and in the Colonies. They are also in use in Her Majesty's Fleet, and in the Coast-guard Service.\n\n### I.\n\nON THE SPOT,\n\nSend immediately for medical assistance, blankets, and dry clothing, but proceed to treat the Patient instantly in the open air, with the face downwards, whether on shore or afloat; exposing the face, neck, and chest to the wind, except in severe weather, and removing all tight clothing from the neck and chest, especially the braces.\n\nThe points to be aimed at are-first and immediately, the Restoration of Breathing; and secondly, after breathing is restored, the Promotion of Warmth and Circulation.\n\nThe efforts to restore Breathing must be commenced immediately and energetically, and persevered in for one or two hours, or until a medical man has pronounced that life is extinct. Efforts to promote Warmth and Circulation beyond removing the wet clothes and drying the skin must not be made until the first appearance of natural breathing. For if circulation of the blood be induced before breathing has recommenced, the restoration to life will be endangered.\n\n### II.-TO RESTORE BREATHING.\n\n#### TO CLEAR THE THROAT-\nPlace the Patient on the floor or ground with the face downwards, and one of the arms under the forehead, in which position all fluids will more readily escape by the mouth, and the tongue itself will fall forward, leaving the entrance into the windpipe free. Assist this operation by wiping and cleansing the mouth.\n\nIf satisfactory breathing commences, use the treatment described below to promote Warmth. If there be only slight breathing or no breathing or if the breathing fail, then-\n\n#### TO EXCITE BREATHING-\nTurn the Patient well and instantly on the side, supporting the head, and-\n\nExcite the nostrils with snuff, hartshorn, and smelling salts, or tickle the throat with a feather, &c., if they are at hand. Rub the chest and face warm, and dash cold water, or cold and hot water alternately, on them.\n\nIf there be no success, lose not a moment but instantly\n\n#### TO IMITATE BREATHING-\nReplace the Patient on the face, raising and supporting the chest well on a folded coat or other article of dress.\n\n| Action | Description |\n| --- | --- |\n| Turn the body | very gently on the side and a little beyond, and then briskly on the face, back again; repeating these measures cautiously, efficiently, and perseveringly about fifteen times in the minute, or once every four or five seconds, occasionally varying the side. |\n| Pressure on the back | Make uniform but efficient pressure with brisk movement, on the back between and below the shoulder-blades or bones on each side, removing the pressure immediately before turning the body on the side. |\n\nBy placing the Patient on the chest, the weight of the body forces the air out; when turned on the side, this pressure is removed, and air enters the chest.\n\nThe first measure increases the Expiration, the second commences Inspiration.\n\n**The result is Respiration or Natural Breathing;—and, if not too late, Life.**\n\nWhilst the above operations are being proceeded with, dry the hands and feet; and as soon as dry clothing or blankets can be procured, strip the body and cover, or gradually reclothe it, but taking care not to interfere with the efforts to restore breathing.\n\n### III.\n\nShould these efforts not prove successful in the course of from two to five minutes, proceed to imitate breathing by Dr. Silvester's method, as follows:-\n\nPlace the Patient on the back on a flat surface, inclined a little upwards from the feet; raise and support the head and shoulders on a small firm cushion or folded article of dress placed under the shoulder-blades.\n\nDraw forward the Patient's tongue, and keep it projecting beyond the lips: an elastic band over the tongue and under the chin will answer this purpose, or a piece of string or tape may be tied round them, or by raising the lower jaw, the teeth may be made to retain the tongue in that position. Remove all tight clothing from about the neck and chest, especially the braces.\n\n#### TO IMITATE THE MOVEMENTS OF BREATHING-\nStanding at the Patient's head, grasp the arms just above the elbows, and draw the arms gently and steadily upwards above the head, and keep them stretched upwards for two seconds. (By this means air is drawn into the lungs.) Then turn down the Patient's arms, and press them gently and firmly for two seconds against the sides of the chest. (By this means air is pressed out of the lungs.)\n\nRepeat these measures alternately, deliberately, and perseveringly, about fifteen times in a minute, until a spontaneous effort to respire is perceived, immediately upon which cease to imitate the movements of breathing, and proceed to INDUCE CIRCULATION AND WARMTH.\n\n### IV. TREATMENT AFTER NATURAL BREATHING HAS BEEN RESTORED.\n\n#### TO PROMOTE WARMTH AND CIRCULATION.--\n\nCommence rubbing the limbs upwards, with firm grasping pressure and energy, using handkerchiefs, flannels, &c.: [by this measure the blood is propelled along the veins towards the heart.]\n\nThe friction must be continued under the blanket or over the dry clothing. Promote the warmth of the body by the application of hot flannels, bottles, or bladders of hot water, heated bricks, &c., to the pit of the stomach, the arm-pits, between the thighs, and to the soles of the feet.\n\nIf the Patient has been carried to a house after respiration has been restored, be careful to let the air play freely about the room.\n\nOn the restoration of life, a teaspoonful of warm water should be given; and then, if the power of swallowing have returned, small quantities of wine, warm brandy and water, or coffee, should be administered. The Patient should be kept in bed, and a disposition to sleep encouraged.",

From it, the North-west point of Plat Island bears S. 62 W., three quarters of a mile. East extremity of Oeste Rock S. 14° E., 14 mile. Apex of Bluff Rock S. 50° E., 2 miles, and Apex of Dome Island N. 65° E., 2 miles.\n\nMr. Boxer, Master in Command of H.M.S. Hesper, reported another Rock in this Channel a little to the Eastward of the Mackinnon Rock. This danger was searched for in the Drake without success, and the fishermen most positively asserted that no other Rock than the Mackinnon exists in the Channel. We are therefore of opinion, that Mr. Boxer must have seen the Mackinnon Rock, the difference in position may be ascribed to the fact of the Hesper being an iron vessel, and, in consequence, the bearings taken from the Compasses cannot be implicitly relied on.\n\nTo avoid this danger, vessels entering the Channel from the Westward, should not bring Plat Island to the Westward of S.W. by S., whilst Dome Island is Northward of an E. by N. bearing; when Oeste Rock bears S. by W., they are to the Eastward of the Mackinnon Rock, and can haul to the Southward.\n\nEntering the Channel from the Eastward, after passing Dome Island steer to the Northward until it bears E. by N., keeping it on that bearing until Plat Island bears S.W. by S.\n\nNo. 116.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nT.

Assuming East Lamock Island to be correctly laid down; from its South-east point the North Rock bears N. 38° E. instead of N. 22° E., and the Island between North Rock and East Lamock Island bears from the South-east point of East Lamock Island N. 29° E. instead of N, 15° E., as shewn on the Chart, (see Admiralty Chart, Namoa Island, No. 1957.)\n\nThe distances shewn on the Chart are correct. The South-east extremity of East Lamock Island is in line with the South-east extremity of North Kock on the bearing S. 42° W. iustead of S. 25o W.\n\nFrom the North-east point of North Rock the observed true bearing of Dome Island was found to be N. 67° 50′ W., agreeing with the Chart.\n\nTIMES ROCK situated to the North-eastward of the Lamock Islands, originally reported by Mr. Anderson of the schooner Times, (vide China Pilot, p. 104,) and on which several vessels have recently struck, is a dangerous coral pinnacle with only 9 feet over it at low water. From it the North Rock of Lamock Islands bears S. 37° W., distant a little over a mile; and Dome Island N. 73° 30′ W., distant 12 miles.\n\nWhen on the Rock the East bluff of East Lamock Island is just scen open Westward of the Western apex of North Rock, the extremes of the Islands subtending an angle of 13° 11'.\n\nThe High Lamock, opens North-westward of East Lamock clears the Rock to the North-westward; and opens South-eastward of it, clears the Rock to the South-eastward.\n\nTo avoid this danger, the angle subtended by the Lamock Islands should not be greater than 10°, when the High Lamook is shut in.\n\nThe Times, and other vessels placed this Rock farther from the Islands, but on nearly the same bearing as given above. The distance, which with them must have been mere guess work, was carefully measured from H. M. gun-boat Drake, whilst at anchor on the Rock. Its position as marked on the Admiralty Chart, from the authority of Mr. Anderson, was sounded over, but no danger could be discovered, and the fishermen, who were offered a reward to point out any other Rocks, assert that none other exist in that vicinity.\n\nNo. 117.\n\nGOVERNMENT NOTIFICATION.\n\nIt is hereby notified that His Excellency the GOVERNOR has appointed N.

        "content_text": "For 584040/boy \n\n7 \n\n# FUNERAL OF THE LATE MAJOR-GENERAL BRUNKER. \n\nOn 27th March, the remains of the late Major-General Brunker, Commander of H.M. Forces in China and Japan, and Lieutenant-Governor of Hongkong, were interred in the Cemetery at the Happy Valley, with full military honours. The procession was marshalled on the Parade Ground, and started punctually at half-past three. A field battery, in charge of Capt. Carey, commanding R.A., led the way, and then, to the solemn strains of the \"Dead March in Saul,\" the 75th Regiment moved slowly into the Queen's-road and towards the Cemetery. They were followed by the band of their regiment, and that of the 29th Native Infantry. Then came the coffin, placed upon a gun-carriage, and covered with the national ensign, the Pall bearers consisting of Colonel Gore, Commandant, Doctor Heffernan, Deputy Inspector-General of Hospitals, Colonel De Butts, Commanding R.E., Commodore Jones, R.N., the Hon. J. Gardiner Austin, and Captain Raby, R.N. Following next to them, according to a touching custom in military funerals, the General's old charger was led by two soldiers of the 75th, and immediately behind were His Excellency the Governor, Captain Maxwell, D.A.A.G., Captain Shaw D.A.Q.M.G., and Captain Thompson, A.D.C., the Chief Mourners. The members of the Executive Council came next, and after them, the 29th Regiment Native Infantry, followed by a large number of English, American and other Naval Officers, and, finally by the Civil Servants of the Colony, who were all in attendance, and a large number of private gentlemen.\n\nThe crowd at the Parade Ground was very large, and the road to the Cemetery was nearly the whole length lined with spectators. The procession slowly wended its way in time to the music, broken by the booming of the minute guns; and passing the Guard House turned to the Praya, and marched by that route to the Cemetery. The hills surrounding the Wong-nei-chong valley were covered with spectators. On reaching the Cemetery, the soldiers of both regiments were told off on either side of the road, leaning upon their reversed muskets. The remainder of the procession followed the coffin to the Chapel, while the soldiers took up their position outside the grave destined to receive the mortal remains of their late commander. The service was impressively read by the Rev. Canon Beach, assisted by the Revds. J. Piper and Kyle; and the coffin was then brought out and borne to its last resting place. As it was lowered into the grave, the men of the 75th fired three volleys, which were answered by the minute guns hard by; and the impressive ceremony being closed, the troops were marshalled, and the procession returned homewards.\n\nIn addition to those mentioned as taking part in the ceremony, a large number of persons of distinction were present, among whom were Rear Ad. Rowan U.S.N. and Capts. Roe and English U.S.N.; the Hon J. Smale, Chief-Justice of Hongkong; Sir Edmund Hornby, Chief Judge of the Supreme Court for China and Japan; Mons. Du Chesne, Consul for France, Mr. Helland, Danish Consul, and Mr. Overbeck, Austrian Consul, in their official uniforms; Mr. Pollard Q.C., Mr. Hayllar, Dr. Murray, Colonial Surgeon, and others. The 29th Regiment were under the command of Major Ritherdon, Capt. Grant, and Adjutant Prendergast. Captain-Superintendent Deane, who took command of the Police, did good service, and was ably seconded by Mr. Assistant Superintendent Creagh, who took charge of the Sikh, and by Deputy Superintendent Jarman, who was also very busy.\n\nOn Sunday the Rev. Canon Beach, in the course of his sermon at the Cathedral, made a touching allusion to the death of the late Major-General. The Revd. Gentleman observed that, although the Cathedral was not the place to eulogise the dead, he thought he would be expected to allude for one moment to the fine old man whom God had so suddenly taken from our midst. Had he lived, it was his intention to have been with the congregation that day, and to have knelt with them before the altar of God. The Rev. Gentleman had had the happiness of knowing him well, and often admiring the true Christian spirit which animated him both in his public life and also in his own family. He had been taken away in mercy, and the change to him, it could not be doubted, was most blest, as he had gone to rejoin her, whose loss bore heavily upon him, although he was too brave and too meek to murmur or complain. But we should miss his erect and venerable form in the place which he was wont to occupy in the Cathedral so regularly, and from the Eucharistic feast, which he never (when able) failed to attend and partake of. He was a good man; and, by his high and courteous bearing won the love and respect of all, and the Revd Gentleman could not allow this day to pass without paying this tribute to his memory. Thank God! although he was gone from us, we believed that he still lived; for Jesus, the Resurrection, and the Life, in whom he trusted, lives; and the remembrance of his calm and Christian life would long survive in our hearts.",

        "content_text": "(10)\n\nTuesday, November 2nd.--This auspicious day opened with an act of graceful courtesy on the part of His Royal Highness, which, while it gave a fresh impulse to the feelings of loyalty and affection which his presence had already excited, will long be remembered with pride and admiration in this part of the Queen's dominions. Admiral Sir Henry Keppel, after a long and distinguished service in China, was to proceed to England by the departing Mail, carrying with him the esteem and respect of the whole community, who had joined as one man in giving to him a farewell banquet only a few days before. On the gallant Admiral's arrival at the Wharf about 8 o'clock, he found there His Royal Highness the Duke of Edinburgh with a barge manned by Officers of the \"Galatea,\" the Duke himself at the stroke oar, and Commodore Oliver J. Jones for coxswain. When the boat reached the steamer, His Royal Highness, with characteristic good feeling, showed his respect for the brave old Sailor by keeping up his rôle of \"Stroke oar,\" and insisting on the Admiral preceding him in going up the side. Just before 9 o'clock, the Prince having wished Admiral and Lady Keppel a warm \"Good bye,\" left the steamer, and on reaching his barge, led off three hearty cheers for the Admiral, in which he was joined by his gallant coxswain and crew, and a large concourse of the residents, including the Governor, who had come to bid the Admiral farewell. There was a general feeling that by this spontaneous act of courtesy, His Royal Highness had proved himself to be \"every inch a Prince,\" and if anything had been required to ensure him a most cordial and enthusiastic welcome on his Public Landing, it was now amply supplied.\n\nPrecisely at the hour fixed, 11 o'clock, closely copying the punctuality for which our Sovereign Lady is so celebrated, His Royal Highness made his Official Landing\n\nPage 33",

Yorke, and all the ward-room officers, and many from the gun-room also coming to show them objects of interest, not only in the Duke's private apartments, where they enjoyed a sight of many specimens of high art such as are rarely seen except in the Capitals of Europe, but all over the ship. A gun's crew was mustered, Lieutenant McHardy, the Gunnery Lieutenant, showing how the monster cannon were handled. After this, upon the suggestion of one, whose name should here find honourable mention were it known, some liquor was poured on the delay; and libations of Moselle were offered between the after guns of the port broadside, on the main deck, not unto Bellona Bellatrix, but unto Bacchus. This pleasing rite performed, and while yet invitations to a repetition were being refused, the Captain of the Galatea descended, courteously turning and bowing to all, an honest smile mantling his face. After a short interval, the ship masters were summoned to their Levée, and each handing his card to the Equerry in attendance was presented on entering the cabin to His Royal Highness. The introductions over, and a few prefatory words from the Secretary of the Committee said, the Master who filled that capacity, supported by the Chairman and Vice-chairman of Committee, read the Address to the Master of the Trinity Corporation in the person of the Captain of the Galatea, His Royal Highness Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh. To speak of its presentation and not mention the pleasure of the recipient would be a simple disloyalty to truth and to the Worshipful Master, whose tones and demeanour, as he read his reply, both demonstrated that he was not engaged in a bit of conventionality, but that he was meeting seamen as a seaman. When his reply was concluded, in a few simple words he apologized for the delay which had occurred, alleging the cause, a Court Martial; to which the Secretary replied that 'duty was before all,' and they had profited in his absence by the courtesy of their many ad-interim hosts.\n\n(37)\n\n\"For the first time since the Galatea had left the shores of England, the Trinity Flag was displayed at the main, nor were the Officers of the Galatea slow to point it out to the Masters assembled. Many nationalities were represented on the occasion; it was a genuine enthusiasm born of the brine and the breeze, and it is highly satisfactory to know that amongst the squadron His Royal Highness has often spoken of the event as one that was most gratifying to him as the Master of the Trinity House, and that he showed his appreciation of the event by ordering the Trinity Flag to be displayed at the fore on the day of his departure.\"\n\nIn addition to the Cricket Match, which was not concluded until this day, a Match at Bowls was played this afternoon at the Oriental Bowling Alley, which had been specially engaged by the Committee of the Hongkong Club during the Prince's visit, between Eight of the Galatea and Eight of the Club, which resulted in a victory for our gallant guests. His Royal Highness headed the Naval side, and \"played throughout,\" says a reporter, \"with that spirit and enthusiasm which he appears to carry with him in whatever he undertakes.\" The total score in the two games played, was as follows:\n\nGalatea, 3,966\n\nClub, 3,882\n\n84\n\nIn the evening, Commodore Oliver Jones entertained at dinner on board the Princess Charlotte His Royal Highness, His Excellency the Governor, Vice-Admiral Sir Henry Kellett, and a numerous party.\n\n49",

We believe that 'except the Lord build the House, they labour in vain that build it,' and therefore we look up to Him for his blessing upon an undertaking whose sole object is His honour and glory. But we, on whom the responsibility of setting it on foot rests, have faith also in you. We believe in your Christian zeal and liberality; and, so believing, we feel sure that you will not be satisfied until the Work now begun under such favourable auspices is brought to a successful conclusion. As to our guest, I am sure you will most heartily join me in thanking His Royal Highness, for his great kindness in consenting to inaugurate this pious Undertaking, and for the skilful manner in which he has executed it. We were all prepared to receive him with respect and loyal affection as the son of our beloved Queen, whose throne is securely founded in the hearts of her people. But we now know him personally, and I am sure I express the sincere sentiments of all present, when I say that His Royal Highness has won for himself, during his too brief stay here, by his frank, genial, and affable bearing, a place in all our hearts. You will without exception, I am persuaded, join me in wishing him a safe and prosperous voyage, and in bidding him 'God speed.'\" Then, turning to the Prince, the Reverend Gentleman said:-\" Your Royal Highness, On behalf of the Clergy and Laity of this Cathedral City, I beg to present to you our most respectful and cordial thanks for your presence here to-day. We are sorry that you are so soon to leave us. We shall always think of your visit with feelings of unmixed satisfaction; and as, \n\n( 45 ) \n\ncontinually, in this Holy Place, we pray for 'all the Royal Family,' our thoughts will often revert to yourself. \n\nI can only offer you in conclusion, that which the Kings and Princes of the earth, and none more than those of your Royal House, have been wont to consider worthy of their acceptance, what I believe you also will highly value, -the Blessing of God's Priest, and the Prayers of God's Church. May the Lord of the Ocean speed you and your gallant crew in the good ship Galatea, in all her voyages! may He who, eighteen hundred years ago, calmed the sea of Galilee be your Pilot and Guide! may hope, the bright hope of the Christian, be your anchor in every port! and may you 'so pass the waves of this troublesome world, that finally,' without loss or damage, you may come to the land of everlasting life, there to reign' 'world without end'! Amen.\" \n\nThe Reverend Canon then gave the Benediction, and His Royal Highness departed, the guard presenting arms as before and the National Anthem being performed by the band. Among those on the Platform, in addition to His Excellency the Governor and Lady MacDonnell, were Commodore Oliver J. Jones, E. Sharp, Esq., Registrar of the Diocese, Mrs. Pollard, Mrs. Sharp, Mrs. Pyke, Mr. Sassoon and many others. Under the Stone were deposited coins of Hongkong mintage, and copies of the Daily Press and Overland China Mail. \n\nHis Royal Highness soon after visited His Excellency Major-General Whitfeild, Commanding Her Majesty's Forces in China, who had been prevented by illness from appearing during the Prince's visit, and subsequently His Royal Highness honoured in a similar way Acting Chief Justice Pauncefote. On this day many elegant and costly souvenirs were presented on behalf of the Prince to his Hongkong friends. A sum of £150 was also left by His Royal High-\n\n33333\n\n53",

O.\n\n252\n\nin \"Hongkong\n\nI have the honour to be,\n\nMy Lord, Your Lordship's Most Obedient\n\nHumble Servant,\n\nMyreffumency.\n\nThe Daily Press.\n\nHONGKONG, JANUARY 8TH, 1881.\n\nGUNNERY AND STEAM TRIAL OF H.M.S.WIVERN\"\n\nBY OUR SPECIAL COMMISSIONER.] The Wivern, 4, ironclad turret ship, in charge of Commander John G. Jones, was taken outside for a gunnery and steam trial on Thursday morning. Governor Sir John Pope Hennessy went out to witness the target practice, and His Excellency was accompanied by Admiral Coste, C.B., Commodore Smith, Captain Cleveland, Flag-Lieut. W. H. Maitland-Dougall, and Captain Barton, A.D.C. to the Major-General Commanding; and a number of gunnery officers from the fleet now in harbour. Mr. R. H. Sleeman, Inspector of Machinery; and Mr. George Fitzgerald, Chief Engineer of the Iron Duke, were also present, but the engines of the Wivern were in charge of Mr. L. M. Gresw, Chief Engineer of the ship.\n\nIf there is one thing more than another which your \"Commissioner\" regards with a fixed and inveterate antipathy, it is getting up in the middle of the night. Under the impression that there was some connexion between ships and tide, and remembering the copy-book text which averred that the latter \"waits for no man,” I gave orders to be called at six a.m., and was punctually roused out at that ghostly hour. There were few things stirring but the cooks and beasts; two dissipated-looking sparrows had apparently been making a night of it somewhere, and eventually found their way into my verandah, and an asthmatical coolie was dragging his weary limbs down the road as if nine men held him and one drove him; and notwithstanding that my faithful domestic had administered a skilfully compounded \"eye-opener,\" that operation had to be repeated before I could fully appreciate the situation. Somebody, somewhere, has written, \"Night is the time for rest,\" evidently knowing nothing about getting up in the middle of it to go on a steam trial. However, preliminary difficulties surmounted, I got to Peddar's Wharf, and soon after ran the gig alongside the gangway of the ironclad which was about to go on the cruise referred to above.\n\nI almost feel that the Wivern is an old acquaintance, as I used to pass her daily in going from Liverpool to the Cheshire shore at the time she and her sister ship—now the Scorpion, at Bermuda—were lying together in the Sloyne, in the custody, if I remember rightly, of Captain \"Jacky\" Paynter, of the Revenge. These two vessels, popularly known through a clever cartoon in Punch of that period (1863), as \"the Laird's rams,\" were no doubt built for the Confederates, although it was stated they were intended for some Eastern, not Western, navy; their names, too, tended to confirm a belief in their Eastern destination, as they had been christened El Tousson and El Monacir. Soon after their construction in Laird's yard, at Birkenhead, and just before they were ready for sea, strong representations were made by the Government of the United States, which resulted in the vessels' detention in the Mersey by the British authorities, and after lying there some considerable time they were eventually purchased by our Government.\n\nThe invention of the cupola or turret principle, as applied to war ships, is credited to the late Captain Cowper Coles, who made known the merits of this form of vessel in 1855; but it was not until 1861 that the Admiralty could be prevailed upon to regard the system in a favourable light. In the following year, however, the turret was adopted by Ericsson when he built the Monitor for the United States Government during the Civil War, and she gave a good account of herself in the memorable action with the Merrimac, just after the latter vessel had succeeded in effecting the destruction of the Cumberland and Congress.\n\nAlthough seventeen years old, the Wivern is in an excellent state of preservation, nothing about her presenting that perishing appearance noticed in some ships even though they may have seen but little service. This will probably be accounted for by reason that she was originally well built, both in respect to the work and materials put into her, and that she has been well kept; added to which £30,000 was spent upon her not long since in giving her new boilers and decks, having forecastle and poop built, cabins fitted, and bilge keels placed upon her. Although, of course, the Wivern is a long way behind the terrific engines of destruction of more recent times, she is a fine addition to the China command, and properly manned should be a real protection to this harbour and Colony. She presents the least possible target, answers her helm most readily, has no top-hamper, possesses many water-tight compartments, and not a man need be exposed in working her big guns in action, as she has steering gear below and a bullet-proof tower for the officer directing the movements of the vessel. With all those immense advantages, it must be apparent that in the duello there is no craft of any nationality in the Far East that would have any chance with her. In addition to her fighting power, she is formidable as a ram, as she has four or five feet of spur; and on a recent occasion when I saw her in dry dock, I was surprised to find that she was rather a pretty model below the water-line. The Wivern is 220 feet long, with a beam of 41 feet, and in commission has a complement of 150 men; and, with stores, provisions, and ammunition on board, to fighting trim she has a mean draught of 17 feet.\n\nSoon after His Excellency the Governor arrived on board, the ship's head was laid to westward and she proceeded under easy steam down the harbour and out through the Sulphur Channel; and on arriving off the south-east point of Lamma Island the steam trial commenced. The working of her machinery was highly satisfactory, and going down with the wind eleven knots were got out of her with 69 revolutions; after being brought head to wind and going back over the same course, a similar result was obtained; and later, with 70 revolutions, a slight improvement upon eleven knots was made.\n\nThe Wivern's armament consists of four 12-ton guns, Woolwich pattern, two in each turret; four Nordenfeldt guns, two on the forecastle and two on the poop; a Gatling gun, mounted on a carriage fit for shore fighting, but the gun can be readily detached and hoisted into a cutter for boat service; there is also a 9-pounder for the latter kind of work. In addition to this she carries the formidable Whitehead fish torpedoes, containing a charge of 33lbs. of gun-cotton, and spar torpedoes with 35lbs. of the same explosive. The projectiles for the 12-ton guns are of several kinds—empty common shell, weighing 237lbs.; Palliser chilled shot, of 250lbs., and Palliser chilled shell, of the same weight, but containing a bursting charge which explodes immediately it has contact with the object, besides these are case-shot and shrapnel. A full charge of powder is 30lbs. rifle large grain, and a battering charge 50lbs. pebble. The mechanical appliances adopted in loading and working these guns are such as to enable the gunners to fire with great rapidity, and the result is that a tremendous weight of metal can be poured into an enemy's ship in an incredibly short space of time. But of modern weapons, probably less is generally known about the Nordenfeldt gun than any other. The first ship in the British navy which received a Nordenfeldt gun was the Comus, now in Hongkong Harbour, followed by the Northampton, 12, double-screw armour-plated ship, and",

A capital dancing floor was prepared. The ante-room was decorated in the same way, and a portion of the Chamber of Commerce room was partitioned off and a refreshment buffet established there.\n\nThe entrance hall and staircase were also very effectively decorated with pot plants and wreaths of green leaves, presenting a very pleasing appearance.\n\nThe banquet commenced at 7.15 o'clock p.m., the Band playing \"The Roast Beef of Old England.\" The following were the after-dinner speeches:-\n\n## Speech of the Chief Justice\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The first toast on the list for this evening is the usual loyal toast, the health of Her Majesty the Queen. I ask you to join me in drinking that toast.\n\nThe toast was drunk upstanding, with three cheers.\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- The next toast on the list is the health of the Prince and Princess of Wales, and the rest of the Royal Family.\n\nThe toast was drunk with similar honours. The Band- \"God Bless the Prince of Wales.\"\n\nThe CHAIRMAN- Gentlemen, the next toast I have to propose is the health of His Excellency the Governor. (Applause). We are met together on this occasion, as you all know, in compliment to his Excellency the Governor, and for the purpose of bidding him farewell publicly, as he is shortly about to depart from us, in all probability never to return. It is now nearly three years since he first assumed the government of this Colony. He came to us at a somewhat critical period of our history, no novice in the management of affairs, but as an old and tried Governor, with great experience in the conduct of business, having successfully governed some of the most important colonies in the British empire-colonies which have already made a place in history and which are undoubtedly destined to take a foremost place among the nations of the world. (Cheers). For his services before he came amongst us, he had already received from the hands of Her Majesty one of the highest rewards that it is usual to bestow for distinguished public service, viz., the Grand Cross of the Most Distinguished Order of St. Michael and St. George. (Applause).\n\nHis services to this community have been recognized on more than one occasion, and only recently in their farewell address by the Legislative Council-(applause)-body which, comprising as it does nearly all the members of the Executive Council in addition to some of the leading members of the general community, has naturally been brought into more intimate relationships with the Governor than any other portion of the public and is best able to judge of their value. (Hear, hear).\n\nIt would ill become me on the present occasion and in the present assembly, which is not met together for political purposes, and especially in my position, to enter into any question having any bearing upon politics. (Hear, hear). This I can say for myself that I know that His Excellency has always taken a very great interest in everything that he considered was for the best interest of the community-(applause)-and I think I can take it upon myself in the name of all who are present to assure the Governor in similar language to that used by the Legislative Council in its farewell address, that his administration will always be associated in our minds with much personal kindness, consideration, and hospitality (cheers)-a hospitality which I may observe owed a great portion of its charm to the deserved popularity of Lady Bowen and her daughters in the first portion of His Excellency's administration, a hospitality which was not slackened during their necessary but regretted absence, and which has again during the last few months been brightened by the presence of one of His Excellency's daughters and of his only son. (Renewed and prolonged applause).\n\nI am sure also that we all sympathize with the Governor in the prospect of his approaching retirement from public life. It will undoubtedly be a trial to him to give up the active pursuits in which he has been hitherto engaged, the pleasures as well as the anxieties of public life, and the degree of state to which he has been accustomed, for the comparative simplicity and retirement of private life. We have all of us, however, to look forward to relinquishing the active pursuits of life, but there is some consolation for us all if we are able to carry with us in our retirement the assurance that in the days of our activity we faithfully endeavoured to perform our various duties to the best of our ability. (Applause).\n\nBut the Governor, with his experience, need not, unless he pleases, live merely a life of lettered ease, and there are more useful services in which he can be engaged than even in administering the affairs of an important Colony such as this. There has been of late a growing tendency both in the mother country and in the Colonies to tighten and strengthen the bonds of union now existing between them-(applause)-and there has also been a growing and strong desire to enter into closer relationship between ourselves and our great kindred nation. (Hear, hear).\n\nNext year will be an eventful year in this respect. The new buildings of The Royal Colonial Institute will be opened-a Society of which Sir George Bowen has long been a member-(applause)-and which, together with its off-shoot, the Empire Club, has done so much to bring Colonial questions prominently forward before the public at home. Leading colonists from all parts of the Empire will take part in the Colonial Exhibition, to which we are about sending our modest contribution, including many from Colonies over which Sir George Bowen has had the honour during his long career of having been appointed Governor.\n\nThere will also be the American Exhibition of Inventions, which will attract to London many of the leading citizens of the United States, and to welcome whom a Council consisting of most of the leading men in the British possessions, and amongst whom I have no doubt Sir George Bowen's name is already to be found, has been formed by American residents in London and promoters of the Exhibition, avowedly for the purpose of strengthening the friendly relationships between the great English-speaking nations who have one language and one literature in common, whose great men and our great men, and whose noble women and our noble women are the same-(applause)-and who all inherit the glorious deeds and love of liberty of our ancestors. (Renewed applause).\n\nAnd to crown all, it will be the jubilee year of our Most Gracious Sovereign Her Majesty the Queen. (Loud cheers). The movements which have commenced cannot fail to be accelerated by these events, and His Excellency will no doubt be called upon to take an active part in them, and if, as the result of the consultations and deliberations which are even now taking place, any satisfactory measures can be discovered which will have the effect of bringing Great Britain and Ireland, their colonies and dependencies into closer union, especially if in addition we and our kindred nation, the Great Republic of the United States of America (loud applause)-the citizens of whom I believe venerate and respect our Queen in almost if not in quite the same degree as we do ourselves (applause)-could be brought closer and more unitedly together, it would be of so great a service to the world at large as to reflect the highest amount of credit and honour on all concerned in bringing it about. (Hear, hear).\n\nSuch a union would hold out no menace to foreign powers but would, I should hope, have a tendency to hasten the period when reason and not force, right and not might, shall prevail among all the nations of the earth. (Cheers).\n\nIn conclusion, I may say I know that I can safely assure the Governor of the best wishes of you all (hear, hear and cheers)-that he may have a safe and pleasant voyage home-that he may thoroughly enjoy himself during his stay in that old and interesting country which he purposes visiting on his way-(hear, hear)-that he may have a happy meeting with the remainder of his family in England (applause)-and, if so be that he never returns to us again, we trust that he will continue to take the same kindly interest in the welfare of the Colony that he has taken since the first day he came among us-(hear, hear)-and that, again using similar language to that contained in the address before referred to, we hope that he may long enjoy the rest earned by more than a quarter of a century's service and that his unequalled experience may be found of service in the Councils of the Empire. (Cheers).\n\nI have now the great pleasure of proposing the health of His Excellency the Governor, Sir George Ferguson Bowen, and to ask you to unite with me in wishing him all happiness, prosperity, and success in his future career. (Loud cheers).\n\nThe Band- \"God Save the Queen.\"\n\nThe toast was drunk with musical honours and three times three.\n\nHis EXCELLENCY, who was received with prolonged and most enthusiastic applause, said- Mr. Chairman and gentlemen, I thank His Honour the Chief Justice for the flattering and eloquent speech in which he has just proposed my health-a speech, I may add, which derives additional weight and significance from his own high office and character, which are most fully appreciated throughout this Colony. (Applause).\n\nPage 150\nPage 151",

Mengens reached the Station, but finding the wires had been cut, and seeing a large troop-boat full of men being towed round the point from Deep Water Bay, fired the Station and escaped by the back through the bush the Mount Gough Road.\n\nShots were now heard at the eastern end of the bay, and scouts were making up the hills, firing under the same disadvantages as those at the western. It appeared that about midnight, Constable Lamont, and two Indian Constables from Stanley being on patrol, had arrived at the eastern limit of the Stanley District, the crest of the hill at the eastern end of Deep Water Bay, where to their astonishment they discovered large vessels at anchor. Whilst speculating as to what it could mean they heard shots at the Western end of the Bay, and then the glare of the search lights.\n\nFindlay, the two Indians and the two Chinese, armed with Sniders, proceeded towards Deep Water Bay, where shots were still being exchanged. Hazeland, with McNab and the two other Indians, had gone by road to Deep Water Bay. On arriving at the ridge overlooking the Bay they made out the three vessels, and lights showed the bay alive with boats. Lamont at once grasped the situation and rushing down with his two men, from the bushes, within 30 yards of the landing crowds, they fired twice into them, before their skirmishers ran for their cover. Eutant, an old poucher, however, made his escape, and, ably seconded by the two Indians, Fatty Dad and Hirpaul Singh, continued firing at the exposed landing party till their ten rounds of ammunition were expended. Hirpaul Singh then returned to Stanley, and the others made their way up to Wongneichong Gap, whilst the transports were searching the empty bushes of the golf links with grape from their bow and stern guns over the heads of the men landing.\n\nHazeland, who took his rifle, was shortly afterwards hit in the ankle, and had to be left where he lay close to the road, where his body was afterwards found bayoneted by the enemy. Even if he had worn a uniform it is doubtful if his fate would have been otherwise, for the enemy were doubtless exasperated at the execution done.\n\nActing Sergeant Lall Singh was shot (the first man to be killed at the fall of Hong Kong). This man had been one of the Jubilee contingent sent to London.\n\nThree ... The first wire from Aberdeen 'large ships showing no lights gone into Deep Water Bay,' was received at the Central Police Station in Victoria at 10.55 p.m. Hannah, Inspector on duty, at once roused Acting Deputy Superintendent Mackie, who promptly despatched messengers to Colonel Rordon, commanding the West Borks at Murray Barracks, the Commodore, Colonel Tristful (of the Hongkong Regiment) at Kowloon, and Capt. Limmonds R.A., at the McGregor Barracks. Telephonic messages were sent to the Gap and Mount Gough Police Stations, directing that H. E. the Governor, Sir W. Jones, Major-General Bilsoue White, the Captain Superintendent of Police, Major Sir John Harrington (Commandant of the Volunteers), Colonel Yardhill, C.R.E., Colonel Melformian, D.A.A.G, (the Laird of Lamlash), and all the Military Officers at the Peak should be called, also the party of Engineers making the alterations in the Mount Austin Barracks, after which the outlying soldier officers, and all British householders to be roused. Every available man to be turned out forthwith to carry out these orders.\n\nFrom Murray Barracks to Wongnoichong Gap is four miles, as you know the last two a very steep pull up from the village; but Rordon and the 192 men he had with him reached the crest as the clock-tower in Victoria proclaimed midnight. Breathing his men, who arrived streaming with perspiration, for a few minutes in the Gap, he sent Barry Brew's company down by the short cut through the jungle to hold the eastern side, whilst with Brice's company he went down to bar the road and western side. Messengers and telephonic despatches (till communication ceased) were sent to all Volunteers in Victoria, Kowloon and at the Hung Hom Docks. A mounted Sikh was sent to rouse the British at Quarry Bay. Notices were sent to the three British Clubs. Mr Riley, the tramway engineer, was directed to hold the line at the disposal of the Military, at the same time two European Constables were sent to the hut above Bowen Road to guard the pointsmen if necessary, or shoot him if he proved treacherous.\n\nMackie also rang-up the Engineer and Artillery messes (repeating the Aberdeen message), and all Police Stations in the City, giving orders to call Major Hills of the West Borks and all soldier officers at East and West Points. Communication with Shaukiwan was found to have ceased, so a Police pinnace was despatched to that village, ordering Inspector Hall to acquaint Captain Furney, R. A., at Lyemun barracks. A pinnace was also sent to warn Lt. Huzzard, R. A., at Stonecutters Island.\n\nHardly had Brew's company disappeared in the trees when the shots fired by McNab and his men at the beach were heard. Thanking God he was in time, Rordon was doubling down the road when the reports of Lamont's fire and the replies they drew were heard also, after which the search lights exposing the men on the road, the Sumtoff began firing shell from the fore-castle gun at the road, killing two men at the third round. Rordon at once sent the right half company into the bush above the road and made the others lie down behind the curve just beyond the third bridge, where they were sheltered by a spur from the fire of the transports.\n\nIn ten minutes the Assembly was sounding in every Barrack in Victoria and signal rockets were being fired from Scandal Point to warn the Hongkong Regiment and the ...",

        "content_text": "# THE BATTLE OF SULPHUR CHANNEL.\n\n10 -\n\nthe attack he was about to make with Commodore Dolland had been in constant communication with the General, who now expected a diversion by the Navy, and as no other attacks had been developed, prepared to take the offensive and assault with all his reserves.\n\nAs a fact, the fast Russian steamer Harbarovsk, of 905 tons, Capt. Kitaeff, with 750 men of the Nerchitinsk regiment aboard, accompanied by the Torpedo Destroyers Borgo and Revel, under Lt.-Commanders Ptachimoskey and Troyaa, had, passing well to the Westward of the Little Ladrones, suddenly appeared off the Chinese Customs Station at Chung Chow in the Macao Passage.\n\nThe Commodore was playing whist aboard the Victor Emanuel at 11.10 p.m., when Mackie's letter was delivered to him. De Horsey of the Plover, his own Commander (Naylor) and Barlyou Cellairs, his torpedo lieutenant, were of the party. The Wivern had only the week before had her half-yearly commission and cruise, so she was coaled, but her provisions and ammunition had been returned into store.\n\nLanding a hundred and fifty soldiers, they took possession of the Station and seized the two armed Customs launches, the Chop Sing and Hai Kwan. The Chop Sing was sent to cruise off Green Island, where, even if she had been observed, she would be recognized as a Customs launch and would excite no suspicion—it being the usual cruising ground for watching for opium smugglers from the Colony.\n\nNaylor and his ship's company were at once sent off to the Wivern, off the Torpedo Depot, to get up steam, and seamen and stokers from the Plover sent to man the Tweed. Lt. Flumer was sent down to the town to get hold of any large launches that had steam up (fires being out in the Dockyard boats) to tow the Wivern and Tweed across to the Man-of-War anchorage to facilitate putting their ammunition on board. Brice-Prowne, the Lieutenant of Marines, was ordered to parade his men and proceed to the scene of action. The Plover's Marines were to join his party. Cellairs and his two torpedo gunners (Smith and Tanyard), as well as the Gunner of the Victor (Larka), proceeded to the Torpedo Depot.\n\nProceeding with all despatch, the Harbarovsk and two Destroyers, going North of Lantao, stopped at 9.30 p.m. off Cap-sui-moon. That station was also seized and held, with two hundred men; the two armed launches Kose Shui and Fun Say being taken possession of. Pushing on to Chin Wan Bay, the Destroyers ran alongside and captured the Feihoo, Chinese Revenue Cruiser, whilst the Harbarovsk went in as close as the water allowed, and with the aid of native boats quickly landed 300 men to cut the land lines and patrol the short strip to Tolo Harbour.\n\nHaving dropped her men, the Harbarovsk, accompanied by the Feihoo, the Revel, and Kow Shui, proceeded for Green Island about midnight, sweeping well round to the Westward. The Fan Son was left at Cap-sui-moon to bring to everything that passed. The crews of all the junks, boats, etc., there being landed on the island, the vessels were scuttled. The Borgo, as soon as the Feihoo had been seized, proceeded just full speed up the River, and about 15 miles above Deep Bay ran alongside the Fatshan (Capt. Dick) and Powan (Capt. Goggin) and captured them.\n\n11 -\n\nLeaving prize crews on board, the Pasig and Tai On were similarly seized, about two miles farther up. Leaving her prizes with orders to follow as fast as they could, the Borgo returned at her utmost speed to rejoin her consorts at the rendezvous off Green Island.\n\nA third Destroyer, the Soeaborg (Lt.-Comr. Chriptovitch), had accompanied the large troopers, keeping about a mile to the eastward, and so had not been seen and reported by Meugena and Hazeland. This vessel had seized the armed Custom's launch Kaipan Lu off Stanley, and with her had remained patrolling the mouth of Deep Water Bay to cover the troopers. Each transport had moreover carried two second-class torpedo boats, which had been hoisted out before a troop-boat was lowered.\n\nMajor Findley, R.E., as soon as he had sent arms and ammunition up by tram for the Engineers at Mount Austin, betook himself to his station in the West, and as soon as steam could be raised in the Solent, with Tundall and Standardman, and several passenger launches, was busy laying mines. Mugent, Johnson, and Rabber, with the Miner, and other launches, had gone to their stations at Lyeemun and Stonecutters, and were similarly employed.\n\nThe Harbour was ablaze with lights. Steam had been got up for the dynamos, and the search-lights were playing in all directions. The merchant ships were all getting up steam; before, however, they could move, Lieut.-Commdr. De Horsey, and Sub-Lt. Dayley, with a first sufficient force, were sent round all the foreign vessels by the Commodore's orders to disable their engines by taking off their eccentric straps. The sailing ships had neither crews on board nor sails bent.\n\nIt not being known yet what nation or nations were making this treacherous attack on us, the Commodore swore all should suffer alike. British vessels, under the directions of the Queen's Harbour Master Staff Commander Jones, and the Master Attendant of the Yard (Commander Harnot Enderson), were being moored in tiers in Wanchai, as close in as the depth of water would allow. Nine German, one Swede, and two Chinese, three Japanese, and two Norwegian steamers were left at their moorings. Neither Frenchmen nor Danes were in the port. The native craft were making over to Sam Shui Po as fast as they could.\n\nNo launches were allowed to leave, all being requisitioned for Naval and Military use. Naylor was ready to start by 2 a.m. in the Wivern, with Flumer in the Tweed, Cellairs in a launch, with two second-class torpedo boats broad on each bow, about a quarter of a mile off and a cable apart.\n\nThe Feihoo lay with a kedge down about a mile S.S.W. covered by Green Island from Stonecutters, with the Borgo on her starboard, and Revel on her port quarter well aft and almost astern, and two second-class torpedo boats at anchor as close as they could get to the rocks under Mount Davis, just round S. and E. of the range-finding staff.\n\n14 -",

The Swift moored head and stern, with her head about E.S.E., hauled close in to the rocky shore to the southward in less than two fathoms, being coals and provisioned, and their ammunition put on board. After consultation with the General, the Commodore had started them off at 7 a.m. round by D'Aguilar for Tytam Bay. De Horsey was in command of the Swift, with 25 of his own men, two R.N.R. officers from the Empress of India (Messrs Tootham and Roswald). Sub.-Lt. Dayley of the Plover was in charge of the Rattler with Mr Nartlew, Chief Boatswain of the Yard, and an R.N.R. officer (Mr Atkinson) from the Radnorshire, with the remainder of the Plover's crew,—60 merchant seamen R.N.R. and others were in the Swift, and 30 in the Rattler. Only one Engineer was sent in each vessel, Messrs Mallett and Irish respectively, as the ships had only to get to Tytam; for the same reason only a small supply of coal was put on board, and no great quantity of provisions and water, they were both flying light. She was protected to the southward by the rocky peninsula from fire from the bay. To attack her, vessels would have to come round the point exposed at two cables' distance to her whole port broadside. The Rattler was hauled further in towards Tytam Tuk, but on the northern shore in 9 feet—moored head and stern, head to the S.W. Her port broadside also swept the passage to the Swift, and her small Gardner in the foretop covered the Shaukiwan Road. Steam was only kept for the dynamos.\n\n|  |  |\n| --- | --- |\n| O | Ratt |\n| Ty Lam HS |  |\n| Swift |  |\n| Badou |  |\n| Tytam Bay |  |\n| Q |  |\n| 5 | 10 cables. 1 mile |\n| 95 -- |  |\n\nA party was landed to make a redoubt on the rocky hill south of the Swift, armed with the two Nordenfelts, a thousand Artillerymen, 7,000 men in all—the crews of the four vessels amounted to another thousand men. The redoubt commanded the cove to the south and the Shaukiwan Road to the right, as well as preventing the enemy pouring fire right down on to the deck of the Swift. The troopers were escorted by the three destroyers, Borgo, Revel, and Seaborg. The Orel, of the Russian volunteer fleet, had been despatched from Vladivostock on the 7th inst. for Saigon, as the French were short of transport. The Russian expedition left Vladivostock on the 15th, and going down outside-cast of Formosa, the allies were to rendezvous twenty miles south of the Gap Rock at 4 p.m. on the 23rd. Akinoff could or would give no details as to the French forces. As a fact, the French brought up 10,000 men in six ships, including the Orel (of 2,850 tons), conveyed by the cruisers Descartes and Eclaireur, and the foreign old ironclad Triomphante, the reserve ship in Saigon.\n\nThe Commodore, with the Master Attendant, towed down the nine German merchant steamers and the one French sailing ship (the Du Guesclin), and moored them in a double line across the Lyemun passage, heavy cables being passed along then, taken in astern and passed out of the hawse-holes forward. The ends were secured ashore. The shore ends being floated on cargo boats left no openings at all. The Harbour Master and Staff Commander Jones moored the eight other steamers and a Hawaiian barque similarly across the Sulphur Channel.\n\nWe wanted to torpedo boats in in the night. About 5 a.m., Dover (the Assistant Harbour Master) and Robinson (the senior boarding officer) were sent out in two launches, the Gladiator and Vancouver, to see what had become of the enemy. Robinson went into Picnic Bay in Lama Island, and had a long and hot walk over the hills. Dover kept on round by the Fast side of Lama, and coming round Green Hummock into S.E. bay, came plump on the Destroyer Sveaborg; she opened fire smartly on the launch, killing two men, and sinking the Gladiator before she could be turned round. Two of her crew ashore and succeeded in rejoining Robinson. The Seaborg proceeded South to the Gap Rock about 7 a.m.\n\nAmongst the wounded in our hands was General Akinoff, second in command of the Russian expeditionary force—the Commander in Chief, General Grombetchsky, had been killed. General Akinoff was quite willing to communicate the facts as to the Russian forces—they had consisted of the regiments of Nerehitusk and Tomsk and a small Russian regiment numbers 3,003—and the French forces—the French Commander-in-Chief, General Morbleu, assumed the supreme control. All the new arrivals began hoisting out torpedo and troop boats. The Eclaireur was despatched to the Eastward, where she subsequently captured the Sungkiang (Capt. Dodd) and the Verona (Capt. Tocque). The wounded were hoisted out for landing and tents to be... \n\nPage 21",

        "content_text": "Extract from the \"China Mail\" of 4th October, 1906.\n\nCAPTAIN BARNES-LAWRENCE,\n\nThe Funeral.\n\nOne of the most impressive funerals that has been held in Hongkong for many years was that of the late Hon. Captain Barnes Lawrence, who was laid in his final resting place in the Protestant Cemetery at Happy Valley yesterday. Long before the hour for the funeral, a large crowd of Europeans and Chinese had assembled in the vicinity of the Royal Naval Hospital, Wanchai, from which the funeral was to start; the boatmen from the Harbour Office being lined up on one side of the road holding the wreaths which came from the different departments in the Harbour Office.\n\nShortly after five o'clock, the coffin, a plain teak one, covered with the Union Jack, was carried down from the hospital to the road where a gun carriage was waiting, and it was placed thereon. When the cortege started, ahead of the coffin was a firing party from H.M.S. \"Flora,\" commanded by Captain Grant-Dalton, each man wearing a black band round his left arm and marching with arms reversed. Then came the band of the Second Royal West Kent Regiment, with the drum draped with crepe.\n\nOn either side of the coffin were the deceased gentleman's colleagues from the Legislative Council as follows:- Right, Sir Francis Piggott, Hon. Mr T. Sercombe Smith, Hon. Mr W. Chatham, Hon. Mr A. W. Brewin, Sir Paul Chater, and Hon. Mr Wei Yuk. Left, Sir Henry Berkeley, Hon. Dr Atkinson, Hon. Mr E. A. Hewett, Hon. Mr W. J. Greson, Hon. De V. Kow Kai, and Mr A. G. M. Flathe (Clerk of the Council).\n\nHis Excellency the Governor, Sir Matthew Nathan, walked behind the coffin as chief mourner, followed by his A.D.C. Then came a detachment of 100 men from the naval service, followed by the staff of the Harbour Office, who turned out in strong force, headed by the Assistant Harbour Master, Mr E. Jones. The boarding officers, European employees, Eurasians, Portuguese, and Chinese completed the Harbour Office detachment.\n\nThen came a number of Civil Service cadets, and a large number of friends of the late Harbour Master. Among those whom we noticed were the following:- Captain Lyons, Messrs E. H. Sharp, K.C., J. Dyer Ball, J. Hastings, F. B. L. Bowley, W. Daniels, H. P. White, L. Murphy, A. Saeth, P. N. H. Jones, H.

Pennefather, Captain Milroy, Major Pritchard, Dr Kruger, German Consul, M. Liebert, French Consul, Mr A. G. Romano, Consul for Portugal, and Mr S. Silverstone.\n\nTo the strains of Beethoven's funeral march, the cortege slowly wound its way to the cemetery, which was reached about 5:30 p.m. The coffin was carried to the grave by a party of bluejackets, and the mourners took up their positions around it.\n\nIt was impossible for all who were present to hear the words which fell from the Minister's lips as he read the burial service, but everybody seemed deeply impressed with the solemnity of the occasion. Bareheaded, they stood while the service proceeded, and at its conclusion, most of those present approached the grave and paid a last tribute of respect to their honoured friend. Three rounds from the firing party and the \"Last Post\" from the bugler completed the ceremony, and the Hon. Captain Barnes Lawrence was laid to rest amid a scene of beauty, close to a bubbling stream which tumbled noisily over the stones in its course.\n\nThere were a large number of wreaths sent by the following:-\n\nMiss Barnes-Lawrence, Miss V. Barnes-Lawrence, H.E. the Governor, the P. and O.S.S. Co., Pacific Mail Co., D. and O.S.S.

Other members present were the Hon. Mr. F. H. May (Colonial Secretary), Hon. Mr. F. A. Hazeland (Acting Attorney General), Hon. Mr. O. M. Messer (Colonial Treasurer), Hon. Mr. P. N. H. Jones (Director of Public Works), Hon. Mr. A. W. Brewin (Registrar General), Hon. Mr. F. J. Badeley (Captain Superintendent of Police), Hon. Dr. Ho Kai, Hon. Mr. Wei Yak, Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, Hon. Mr. W. J. Gresson, Hon. Mr. E. Osborne, and Hon. Mr. Murray Stewart.\n\n## FINANCIAL MINUTES\n\nThe Colonial Secretary moved that the following minutes be referred to the Finance Committee.\n\n1. The Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $1,600 in aid of the vote, Public Works, Road, current, Water Works, Maintenance of Kowloon.\n\nThe Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $800 in aid of the vote, Judicial and Legal Departments, Land Registry Office, Other Charges, Incidental Expenses.\n\nThe Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $500 in aid of the vote, Miscellaneous Services, Coal.\n\nThe Governor recommends the Council to vote a sum of $14 in aid of the vote, Charitable Services, Passages and Relief of Destitutes.\n\nThe Colonial Treasurer seconded.\n\nArising out of the financial minutes, His Excellency said: It may interest the members of the Council to know what has been done. On the 22nd, the Caledonia brought in news and signaled to the effect that a large number of dismasted junks had been seen to the south-west and west of Gap Rock. We immediately sent out the tug David Gillies, which was hired from the Dock Company. She left at 3 am. on the same night and arrived on the scene about daylight the following morning. She was instructed to bring in whatever junks she could, and she brought in 52 men from various junks, and towed in one junk. At some time I applied to the Commodore, asking him to give assistance. He sent out two Destroyers, which brought in one junk, and distributed rice and water to the different crews. We sent out with each vessel 200lbs of rice. The next day, Sunday, the two Destroyers again went out and brought in three more junks. They again took out rice and water. On the Monday, further reports reached us from Gap Rock that there were a number of derelict junks floating about. I again communicated with the Commodore, and on Monday night he again sent out two Destroyers and the Cadmus. They have not yet returned. They took 200lbs. of rice each, and the Stanley, which was passing on that day to make her usual fortnightly trip to Gap Rock, also took on 300lbs. of rice. The hire of the David Gillies cost $600 and 2,700lbs of rice cost $13, and the financial question... that the Telemachus brought in \"sloven men\", and the Mathilde six junks, which is a most creditable performance. The Helene also brought in sixteen men, and I have just heard that the Quinte towed a junk into safety. Other vessels have brought in 18 junks. The total rescued are 262 men, and eleven junks.\n\nThe minutes were then referred to the Finance Committee.\n\n## MEMBERS' QUESTIONS\n\nThe Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett asked the following questions:\nAs it is understood that Mr. Carter, sanitary inspector, has been retired from the Government service, will the Government, taking into consideration the fact of Mr. Carter's good service, and that owing to his age he is now no longer eligible for obtaining fresh employment in a Government or municipal office, recommend to the Secretary of State that under the exceptional circumstances of the case Mr. Carter be granted a special pension of say £10 pa; or as an alternative an offer of re-employment here on similar conditions to those of his former post? In the event of the Government being unable to agree to this, will His Excellency consent to refer the question as now raised to the Secretary of State?\n\nThe Hon. Colonial Secretary's reply was as follows:\n(1) Mr. Carter first received notice of the intention to place him on pension in a letter from the Colonial Office dated the 8th of July.\n(2) It is a fact that Mr. Carter went home on a year's leave on 1st September, 188... He applied for three months' extension of that leave prior to the intimation above referred to conveyed to him on 24th July, and he has been granted an extension of his leave of two months.\n(3) Mr. F. W. Just, of the Colonial Office, in a letter to Mr. Carter dated the 14th of last September wrote: With regard to your request for a special pension I am to observe that you have been granted the addition allowed under the regulations for abolition of office and that it is not possible to consider the grant of a special pension.\n(4) The point has already been placed before the Secretary of State. The Government has already considered the possibility of employing Mr. Carter in some capacity and should a suitable vacancy arise his claims to re-employment will not be overlooked.\n\nHon. Mr. Murray Stewart asked: To whom, for what public purpose, and for how long has the plot of Government ground between the New Law Courts and the Praya been let?\n\nThe Director of Public Works: This ground, with the exception of the strip immediately in front of the Hongkong Club, temporarily occupied by Mr. Chan A Tong for work in connection with his contract for the new Law Courts, has been let since 1st December, 1906, to Messrs. Bang Lee and Co. for their work in connection with the contract for the Post Office. The ground has to be cleared on three months' notice in writing from the Director of Public Works.\n\nHon. Mr. Murray Stewart: Will the Government undertake to have the plot in question cleared and made presentable as soon as it is no longer necessary to the work on the Law Courts and the Post Office to maintain it in its present state?\n\nHis Excellency: It won't be advisable for you to give notice of the question if you desire a definite answer.\n\n## SUBSIDIARY COINAGE\n\nMr. Murray Stewart: Your Excellency, I beg leave to give notice that at the next meeting I shall move the following resolution: That in the opinion of this Council the issue of a new subsidiary coinage convertible at par, would not be successful unless the use of the other subsidiary coins were prohibited within the Colony, and at the circumstances, it is undesirable to take any part of a comprehensive scheme for local currency reform.",

        "content_text": "# DEATH OF HON. MR. WARREN BARNES\n\nSeldom has Hongkong been so deeply stirred as it was on Saturday night when the news became known that the Hon. Mr. Warren Delabere Barnes, Colonial Secretary, had expired that evening with startling suddenness on the Polo Ground at Causeway Bay. Mr. Barnes had taken part in a practice match on the ground, and as the last chukka was finished he rode up with the other players in answer to the bell. Before he reached the pavilion he was seen to fall upon the neck of his pony.\n\nAs he did not rise, the others, who included Surgeon Hastings, R.N., rushed to his assistance and were horrified to discover that he was dead. The shock to all present was great, and a painful impression was created when the tragic occurrence was reported in the city. The body was removed to the Government Civil Hospital. Heart failure was the cause of death.\n\nA dance which was to have been given by Lady Lugard at Government House on Saturday night was at once abandoned.\n\nThough Mr. Barnes had only been in Hongkong some three or four months, he had made for himself many friends who, with the general public, will regret his sudden and untimely death. In the short time in which he had been here, he proved himself a very capable official, and acquired a knowledge of local affairs which was remarkable. This was recognised by His Excellency the Governor, who had contemplated a journey to India to be present at the Durbar, leaving Mr. Barnes to administer the Government during his absence. In the Legislative Council, the late Colonial Secretary showed a good grasp of most matters which came up for discussion, and won the good opinion of members by his readiness and lucidity in debate. Moreover, his courteous manner charmed all, and this aspect of his personality endeared him to all with whom he came in contact both officially and socially.\n\nMr. Barnes was educated at King's College School and Pembroke College, Cambridge. He went to the Straits Settlements as a cadet in November, 1888, passing his final examination in Chinese in 1891. Two years later, he became Third Magistrate at Penang, and afterwards became acting Protector of Chinese in Perak. His next position was to the post of warden of mines in Perak, to which he was appointed in 1896, and three years later, he was transferred to Pahang as warden of mines, Protector of Chinese, and senior magistrate. In December, 1901, he was promoted to Penang as assistant Protector of Chinese, and two years afterwards, he was acting Commissioner of Lands and Mines in the Federated Malay States, which was followed by his selection to act as British Resident at Pahang. He was chosen in 1904 to discharge the duties of acting Protector of Chinese for the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States.\n\n## THE FUNERAL\n\nThe funeral took place yesterday, the cortege passing the monument shortly after 4:30 p.m. The large and representative attendance bore testimony to the esteem and respect in which the deceased gentleman was held. The cortege, as it wound its way to the cemetery, was headed by the K.O.Y.L.I. band playing funeral marches. On either side of the hearse, which was laden with wreaths, walked four members of the Hongkong police and members of the Executive and Legislative Councils. Then followed His Excellency the Governor and other members of Council, Mr. C. Clementi (Assistant Colonial Secretary), the A.D.C's., the Consuls, a detachment of police, and a large number of naval and military officers, including Major-General Anderson, C.B., the Officer Commanding the Troops. The attendance included His Lordship Bishop Pozzoni, His Honour Mr. Justice Gompertz, Sir Paul Chater, C.M.G., Hon. Dr. J. M. Atkinson, Hon. Mr. E. A. Hewett, Hon. Mr. W. Chatham, C.M.G., Hon. Mr. A.

Lambert, and many others, including Mr. Chan Kai Ming and other representative Chinese residents.\n\nThe police bore the body to the Civil Service section of the cemetery, and the remains were laid to rest on a little plateau surrounded by pine and palm trees. The funeral service was conducted by His Lordship the Bishop of Victoria, assisted by the Rev. F. T. Johnson (Colonial Chaplain). Wreaths were sent by Major-General and Mrs. C. A. Anderson, Mr. and Mrs. N. J. Stabb, the Governor, Mr. and Mrs. C. Lauder, the Captain Superintendent and the members of the Police Force, the Superintendent, officers, and members of the Fire Brigade, the officers of the Army Service Corps, the officers of the R.G.A., the officers of the K.O.Y.L.I., His Honour Mr. H.

The development of Kowloon which has taken place has so entirely altered the conditions which existed fifty years ago, that in ordinary circumstances no regard could be had to the correspondence between Sir Hercules Robinson and Admiral Jones in March, 1861, upon which the Admiralty appear to rely in paragraph 6 of their letter.\n\n3. I visited the Naval Yard at Kowloon recently with the Commodore and the Director of Public Works, and considered the proposals which had been put forward by the latter for closing the entrance in the South end of the old basin and making a new opening on the West side. I am satisfied that the old basin has its own particular use for the Navy and that to make an opening either to the West or into the new basin on the North side would destroy that use. Besides this the new Victualling Store is at the South end of the old basin and it would be very inconvenient to move the jetty which is opposite to it.\n\n4.

        "content_text": "# THE FLYING CLUB.\n\n## INAUGURATED AT CITY HALL MEETING.\n\n### GOVERNOR ON FUTURE FAR EAST AERIAL DEVELOPMENT.\n\n### OFFICERS APPOINTED.\n\nSpeaking at the inaugural meeting of the Hongkong Flying Club yesterday, His Excellency the Governor said the Government was determined to leave nothing undone to assist Hongkong in becoming one of the best air-ports in the Far East. He said the possibilities of aviation in China were limitless, and referred to early days of travel in the country when journeys through the provinces occupied months. He had heard it said that a German company contemplated an air service from Berlin to Peking in five days. If Hongkong could connect with such a service in two days such developments would completely revolutionise life in the Far East.\n\nResolutions were passed at the meeting forming the Hongkong Flying Club and authorising certain officers named below to proceed generally with its organisation.\n\n## OBJECTS OF THE CLUB OUTLINED.\n\nThe meeting was held in the City Hall, His Excellency the Governor presiding. Others present were the Hon. Mr. W. T. Southorn, Commodore R. A. S. Hill, H. E. Major General J. W. Sandilands, the Hon. Mr. H. T. Creasy, the Hon. Sir Henry Pollock, the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton, the Hon. Sir Shou-son Chow, the Hon. Dr. R. H. Kotewall, the Hon. Dr. S. W. T'so, the Hon. Mr. J. P. Braga, the Hon. Commander G. F. Hole, Sir Robert Ho Tung, Colonel L. G. Bird, Professor Middleton Smith, Captain K. V. B. Benfield, Wing Commander A. H. S. Steele-Perkins, Mr. E. I. Wynne Jones, Mr. R. Vaughan-Fowler, Lt. Commander W. B. Keith, Mr. A. W. Summers, and Mr. A. Ritchie. There were also about fifty prospective members of the Flying Club present, including two ladies.\n\nHis Excellency the Governor was accompanied by Captain F. G. Sillitoe, A. D. C. Addressing the meeting he said.-\n\nGentlemen,-We are met here this afternoon, in order to constitute a Flying Club in Hongkong. It is a great pleasure to me to preside over a meeting held for this purpose, and I am exceedingly glad that the Club is to be constituted before I leave Hongkong. The objects of the Club are as follows:\n\n1. (a) To provide flying instruction;\n\n(b) To create air-mindedness in this Colony;\n\n(c) To make better known in the Far East British flying machines and British methods of flying;\n\n(d) To provide the necessary training for the nucleus of a Volunteer Air Squadron;\n\n(e) To provide another opportunity for social intercourse between all communities in this Colony without distinction of race or class.\n\n## Government Determination.\n\nHongkong is already the greatest shipping-port in the Far East, and the Government and the people of this Colony are determined to leave nothing undone which may assist Hongkong to take its rightful place as one of the best, if not the very best, of the air-ports in the Far East. The Hongkong Government, with the full support and encouragement of His Majesty's Government, has now almost completed the construction of the Kai-tak aerodrome at the head of Kowloon bay. We are also about to erect, again with the assistance of His Majesty's Government, a suitable hangar in this aerodrome, capable of housing not only the flying machines of the Royal Air Force, but also those intended for commercial aviation and for the use of the Flying Club.\n\nMoreover, the Hongkong Government attaches so much importance to the establishment of a Flying Club in the Colony that the Legislative Council has voted $60,000 as an initial grant to the Club and has also undertaken to pay the Club an annual subsidy of $30,000. These votes have received the approval of the Secretary of State for the Colonies, and we are met today to inaugurate the Club, so that it may be in a position to commence work early in next year.\n\n## Possibilities in Far East.\n\nThe Great War, and still more the years subsequent to the Great War, have demonstrated the immense possibilities of aviation, both military and commercial. Hitherto the Far East has in this respect lagged behind; but the opportunities here are infinite, and I am confident that from small beginnings we shall lay the foundations of very important aerial developments.\n\nWe hope that in this matter we shall have the co-operation of China, who is our nearest neighbour, and not only of China, but of Japan, the Philippine Islands, Macao, Kwang-chouwan, French Indo-China and Siam.\n\nI do not, of course, suggest that members of the Hongkong Flying Club will at the outset wing their way all over the countries I have named; but the remarkable achievements of airmen and airwomen in Europe suggest that in the near future flights from Hongkong may be made quite often along the whole west coast of the Pacific, and even further still.\n\nPage 2\n\nThe possibilities for aviation in China appear to me to be limitless, for aviation has begun at a time when the Eighteen Provinces possess very few railways, in comparison with their size,—some of them none at all.—when scarcely any trunk roads suitable for motor traffic have been built, and when the lawlessness ashore and piracy at sea suggest that the air may be a safer medium of transport than land or water.\n\nThe club would be registered with limited liability on the lines of other clubs in the Colony and the membership would be irrespective of nationality, being subject only to the votes of the members of the committee. The experience by the formation of a Flying Section, and to offer facilities for sport and social intercourse.\n\n## The First Officers.\n\nThe Hon. Sir Henry Pollock proposed \"that the undermentioned persons shall be the first members of the General Committee and are authorised to take such steps as may be necessary for the preparation of the memorandum and articles of association of the Club and the bye-laws, and that they are authorised to proceed with the organisation of the proposed Club.—\n\nPresident and the Government Representative would be nominated by His Excellency the Governor.\n\nWing Commodore.—The Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton.\n\nNaval Representative.—Lt. Commander W. B. Keith, R. N.\n\nMilitary Representative.—Capt. K. V. B. Benfield, D.S.O., M. C., (G.S.O. III. China Command.).\n\nRoyal Air Force.—Wing Commander A. H. S. Steele-Perkins, O.B.E., R. A. F.\n\nGovernment Representative.—The Hon. Commander G. F. Hole, R. N. (retired).\n\nHonorary Secretary.—Mr. A. W. Summers.\n\nHonorary Treasurer.—Mr. A. Ritchie.\n\nClub Captain.—Mr. E. I. Wynne-Jones.\n\nCommittee.—Mr. R. Vaughan-Fowler.\n\nA Picture of Olden Days.\n\nI can remember how toilfully, years ago, I made my way on foot and on horseback through most of the Eighteen Provinces of China. The various journeys occupied months—one of them almost a year.\n\nBut now a flight from Hongkong to Peking should easily be made in two days. A flight to Ch'eng-tu Szechuan, or Lanchou-fu Kansu should take no longer; and a flight to Hankow or Yunnan-fu might be made in a day.\n\nI have heard it said that the German Lufthansa contemplates a flying service from Berlin to Peking in five days. If from Hongkong we can connect with such a service in two days, the journey to England would take little more than a week. Such developments will completely revolutionize life in the Far East and will bring the mother country much closer to Hongkong and, as I hope, thereby assist our people better to understand Hongkong and to give Hongkong larger measure of their interest and support. The best way for us to assist in such developments is to create air-mindedness in this Colony, and the best way to create air-mindedness is to form a Flying Club.\n\n## Preparatory Work.\n\nThe preparatory work for the formation of a Hongkong Flying Club was largely done by Mr. Vaughan-Fowler, whose unbounded enthusiasm and wide experience as an airman has enabled us to present to you today an attractive scheme for its inauguration.\n\nI have appointed the Honourable Mr. W. E. L. Shenton to be the first Wing Commodore and President of the Club, and I now invite him to explain to you in outline the proposed draft constitution of the Club. You will then be asked to approve of these proposals in principle and to appoint a committee to work out the necessary details.\n\n## Club Organisation.\n\nThe objects of the proposed club were outlined by the Hon. Mr. W. E. L. Shenton who said that the details of the organisation would be worked out by the Committee. The objects of the Club, he said, were to teach the principles of flying, to offer the Government trained pilots and engineers in the event of an emergency, to gain aerial experience by the formation of a Flying Section, and to offer facilities for sport and social intercourse.\n\nMr. Summers had offered his services as secretary and Mr. Ritchie had undertaken the duties of Honorary Treasurer until the club was a going concern.\n\n### Forms of Membership.\n\nDealing with the membership of the club, the Hon. Mr. Shenton said there would be flying, subscribing members and also or associate honorary members. The former would pay a larger entrance fee and subscription and would be called upon to sign a declaration. This was in consideration of the financial assistance received from the Government, which naturally desired to secure the services of the club in the event of a crisis.\n\nProposing a vote of thanks to His Excellency the Governor, the Hon. Mr. Shenton said that he was sure the club would be a successful one. Replying, His Excellency expressed thanks and wished the Hongkong Flying Club every possible success in the future.\n\nThe form of declaration similar to that adopted by other flying clubs and provided that in the event of the Governor declaring a state of emergency, a flying member placed his services at the disposal of the Government, subject to any obligations which may attach to him as a member of the Flying Club.\n\nHe added that the entrance fee for flying members would be $30 and that for subscribing members $20. The former would pay a monthly subscription of $5 and the latter $3.\n\nIt was the intention of the Government to give special facilities to members of the Hongkong Volunteer Defence Corps who would be given free instruction in aviation on terms to be decided by the Governor in Council. The Committee would draw up rules and regulations to control flying and for the conduct of the Club generally.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. Shenton then proposed that the Hongkong Flying Club be formed, Mr. R. Vaughan-Fowler seconding. The motion was carried unanimously when put to the meeting by His Excellency the Governor.\n\nPage 8",

There is evidence that 4,400 sacks of flour passed into the physical control of the Naval authorities by the delivery to them of a godown warrant for this amount, but no evidence to show whether the balance of 2,855 sacks ever passed into Naval control.\n\n3.\n\nIn the circumstances obtaining during the hostilities, it was not to be expected that the complicated procedure laid down by the Compensation (Defence) Regulations could be completed in respect of this large requisition, and settlement was not made until the 15th June, 1946, by which time under the above-mentioned Regulations a certain sum had accrued on account of interest.\n\n4.\n\nIt will be seen from the letter dated 14th July, 1949, from the Superintendent of His Majesty's Victualling Yard, that the Naval authorities now seek to repudiate their liability for this requisition, with the exception of the small amount which was actually received in Royal Naval depots and at the bakery.\n\n5.\n\nI regard with grave concern the contention of the Naval authorities that they are not liable to indemnify this Government for compensation paid out in respect of a requisition made at their request. Such a repudiation would have the effect of undermining the whole basis on which supplies are requisitioned for the Armed forces in emergency, and would compel this Government to consider very carefully the matter of future requisitions. I attach hereto an opinion written by the Solicitor General to the effect that legal liability appears to rest with the Naval authorities to indemnify this Government in respect of the whole amount of 7,255 sacks.\n\nTHE RIGHT HONOURABLE\n\nARTHUR CREECH JONES, M.P.",
