The following, says the N.C. Daily News, may throw some light on the too frequent disappearance of Europosus and others, the last traces of whom show that they took a GLIE PAD to cross the river or go ent to some vessel. Between 11 and 12 o'clock on Saturday night a local Sectsman, who lives at Pootung, hired an unnumbered sampan from the native

city to tako him to the other bank of the river. On the way across. the two Chinese in charge of the bat demanded money and being refused attacked the European with choppers, but they and handful,. found their passenger too big a after a fight, in which the sumpan narrowly escaped being capsized, they took to the water. Left alone in the beat the Britisher yuleked as best he could to Postung, arriving about 3.30 am. Ho now has the sumpan as a momento of his trip.
