Six-round featherweight contest be tween O. S. Todd, HMS Carlisle, 129 lbs and O. S. Larter, H.M.S. Hawkins, 125 lbs.

This was one of the best bouts of the evening. Todd, for a tall man with a longer reach, did not make the most of his natural advantages and was OCCS- In sionally puzzled by Larter's speed. the first half of the fight, Larter did most of the leading and secured a number of points but Todd equalised matters in the fast three rounds,, particularly in the fourth; and became the winner by a very narrow margin of points.

he was ordered at the point of the re- volver to steer due south. At 10 o'clock the same night the course was altered towards Swatow, the Captain being in- formed that if he went near the shore he would be shot. By this time the ski✡ per had been on the bridge for 10 hours without relief. He asked that the Chief Officer be released to relieve him. This was consented to and the Captain was allowed to go and rest in his cabin. One hour later he was recalled, when Breacher Point Light-house was sighted.

Tho Second Officer was also called to assist in the navigation of the vessel. At mid. night they ordered the vessel to go dead slow and this speed was kept up forl zerac hours..

During the night and a great part of the following day a number of the pirates continued to loot the vessel.
