His Excellency concluded by saying that he believed that the breakwater would add materially to the prosperity of the port. Junks and engaged in loading unloading steamers would be able to work a longer time when they could fly to the Refuge for protection in case of storms. He hoped the time would soon come when the prosperity of the port and the increase of the small craft would compel the construction of still another and yet larger refuge. (Loud applause.)\n\nislands and on the shores of the main land he had no more modern appliances than two steam crane barges. He had four barges with hand-cranes, and the rest of the plant consisted of the most ramshackle set of junks I have ever seen anywhere. (Laughter.) He bought them up in Canton, Macao, and elsewhere, like a very wise man, as cheaply as possible. The junks were fitted with derricks made of not very solid-looking timber, and fitted with ropes, which I have a strong suspicion, were bought at the auction at the Naval Yard when condemned to the public. (Laughter.) No one looking at the very primitive appliances that he has used would think that the work could possibly be done in the time and without accidents involving a very considerable loss of life. I have watched the work and watched the reports of accidents, and during the five years that this work has been under construction there has not been one single accident either to a junk, or of parting of a rope, or of the slipping of heavy stone. There was only one life lost during the whole of the period, and that was through an accident to an old woman, who was killed by a splinter of stone during blasting operations on one of the islands where stone was being collected. That is, I think, a wonderful record for a work of this magnitude.\" (Applause.)\n\nCheers were given at the call of His Excellency for Messrs. Jaffé and Duncan, and \"Efficient John Chinaman\" (the contractor).\n\nPRINCE OF WALES' FUND.\n\nSUBSCRIPTION LIST NO. 1.\n\nMr. and Mrs. G. L. Platt (December)\n\nMr. B. Swenson Police 4th Sub.)

J. Boland, $5; Mr. Percy K. Hazlitt, $10\n\nIt was very interesting to consider how these stones were handled, proceeded H.E. the Governor: The two steam crane barges were moved out to some of the islands or adjacent shores for the purpose of dealing with the heaviest stones only, 5-ton stones, of which there were many in this work. The cranes would lift as many of these 5-ton stones as were within their radius, and deposit them on to the junks, in which they were brought to Mongkoktsui, and lowered by the derricks of these junks into the water. When the 5-ton stones were not within reach of the crane, the junkmen would get hold of a long chain from the hand cranes, and the stone would be dragged down to the beach, fastened to the stern of a flat-bottomed sampan, and towed to a junk. The stone, of course, effectively weighed half its weight on land when suspended in the water, and this weight was counter-balanced by stones placed in the bow of the sampan.\n\nThey came to inscribe the legend on the stone, he (the Governor) considered they should have a Chinese inscription as well. It was suggested to him by H.M.'s Consul-General in Canton that the Civil Governor of the Province was an extremely erudite Chinese scholar. So he (the Governor) wrote to His Excellency Chang Ming Chi and asked him to write an inscription for this memorial stone. His Excellency undertook it with great good nature. The words are \"Kwong Lan Po Cheung,\" which mean \"A Bulwark against the raging waves.\" They might like to know where these words came from. The first two characters, \"Kwong Lan,\" mean \"raging waves,\" and are quoted from \"Holding back the raging waves that have rolled forward\" in the Tsun Hok Kai by Hon Yu (A.D. 788-824), of the Tong Dynasty. The other words, \"Po Cheung,\" mean \"bulwark,\" and are quoted from \"The City Shing is the bulwark of the clan of Mang\" in a record in \"Tao Chun\" of the events in the 13th year of Duke Ting of the Lo State (B.C. 50). This magnificent work was the product of European engineering skill backed by Chinese quite uninstructed but very practical suggestions and the extraordinary efficiency of the Chinese race.\n\nCollected by Miss Square Dr. Forsyth, $5; Mr. Mauricio, $10; Mr. Martin, $5; Mr. F.

Treasurer.\n\nHongkong, 16th December, 1915,\n\nFUND TO BE CLOSED.\n\nAt a meeting of the Committee of the Prince of Wales' Fund, held at the Council Chamber Hongkong, on December 18th, it was decided on the motion of H.E. the Governor, who presided, to close the fund on December 31st.\n\nHIS EXCELLENCY said that he had called the members together to propose that the fund should be closed at the end of the month. When the war broke out it was anticipated that there would be a good deal of unemployment in the United Kingdom. That anticipation was realised for some time, but then a different set of circumstances supervened with the withdrawal of large numbers of men from the labour market and the large amount of work necessary for the Government, and instead of there being a shortage there was an excess of employment with a shortage of labour. That had continued, and out of the large amount subscribed to the Fund only a small sum had been expended in relief of distress. The remainder, over £500,000 sterling, had been invested and would be used at the conclusion of the war for the relief of distress which might supervene when the labour market would again become considerably disturbed, or for other reasons.\n\nIn the meantime it did not appear necessary that the fund should be added to by subscriptions from this Colony, at any rate, where many people had bound themselves to monthly subscriptions not thinking that the war would last so long, and being in many cases unable to afford those monthly subscriptions. There were other funds for various charitable purposes connected with the war, and there was also no doubt that presently they would be asked to subscribe to another national loan. Those two objects, the charitable and the patriotic, assisting the Government with funds to carry on the war, were both objects to which people might very usefully subscribe. In those circumstances it seemed proper to close the fund.\n\nThe Hon. Mr. WEI YU seconded, and the motion was carried unanimously, while Mr. N. J. Stabb, as Hon. Treasurer, and his staff were thanked for their services, on the motion of H.E. the GOVERNOR, seconded by the Hon. Mr. H. E. POLLOCK.\n\nA smoking concert held under the auspices of the Nanking branch of the Patriotic League of Britons Overseas recently realised $825, in aid of the fund for sending Christmas presents to the troops at the front.\n\nA most successful Pianoforte Recital was given on December 11th Shameen by Mr. Denman Fuller, supported by Miss Wilkes, who was ably accompanied in her songs by Mrs. Adams. The audience, though a small one owing to the inclement weather, was highly appreciative throughout the whole programme. Lovers of music had a treat also on Sunday evening, when Mr. Denman Fuller very kindly gave an Organ Recital at Christ Church.\n\nThe proceeds of the two recitals, amounting to about $500, are being devoted to various War Funds, and remitted to London, £29,000 ... $323,605.84.\n\nResidents of Shameen are fortunate in having had Mr. Fuller's voluntary assistance for this purpose.\n\nPage 507\n\n...\n\n9/4/16\n\nStran\n\n139.\n\nSu May\n\nStrele\n\n9/47.\n\n16\n\n834\n\nStay\n\nthe receipt &\n\n9 Feb 76\n\nL\n\n+\n\nhave se to ach:\n\no You\n\ndeep\n\nNo 419 of the\n\n30-De\n\nin which your recommend to my notice the Excellent work done by Ch.
