Mrs. Watte-Jones, however, was not so fortunate; no place could be found for her, and she had therefore to leave the island, a course which was particularly distressing tå her, owing to the uncertainty as to where har husband was, and also the fact that she had a delicate child. The matter was reported to General Gasslee, but as he was at Poking and telegraphis communication was not restored, his reply countermanding the ladies being turned out took some time; in fact did not arrive until these ladies had arranged to move out of the hotel.

ANOTHER PIRAOT CASE,

On the 1st of October a steam-launch, the Fuk Sang, left Sankong in the Namhoi district for Canton. There were 30 to 40 passengers and some cargo on board. Seven or eight of the former turned out to be pirates. All went well until she reached Manker, when a fishing junk came up. The pirates then produced their revolvers, overawed the crew and passengers and ransacked their luggage and hoxes. After removing the spoil into the junk and taking away whatever valuables they could lay their hands upon, they left. It is believed that the

maptain was in collusion with them.
