It is a great relief to know THE HONGKONG LAND INVEST- that her passengers and crew, numbering in all some three hundred souls, are safe, and that they have not, as was feared, mat with an untimely end like so many other innocent non-combatants during the war. When the vessel was nearly a fortnight overdue and it was reported that an empty stove-in bost bearing her name had been picked up between Madeira and Morocco, the conclusion seemed irresistible that she had either fallen a victim to an enemy sub marine or to one of the mines which, a message from Vigo said, were moored in the Bay of Biscay and had caused the loss of two Spanish ships.
