Two very sudden deaths occurring da the same day cast a gloom over the whole community of Chefoo recently. de Kerberg. the Bussing Vics Com sol, acting also in Belgian interests, was taken with an attack of heart failure and did not rally. Even more distressing was the sudden death from drowning, on the same evening, of Mr. Frederick J. Curtis, so well known to all along the China Coast, He was British Postmaster and head of the firm of Curtis Bros. Auctioners Mr- Curtis left home in a sinal skiff with motor attachment on a Saturday afternoon to spend the week-end with his brother, who resides at the Standard Dil Depot un the Bluft.

At 4.30 on Sunday morning he was found by a Chinese lying on the fore- shore beside the upturned boat almost exactly opposite his home, which adjoins the beach, Exactly how the sad accident happened will, in all probability, never be known, but it seems fairly certain that when half-way across, at which distance he was seen from the shore, his motor must have refused to act; judging from

signs on it, owing to overheating.
