NAVAL OCCASIONS.
EAST 18 EAST AND THE WEST ALSO SOMETIMES.
A famine relief worker who has been stationed lately on the Han River sends un the following priceless account of a naval occasion on that waterway, says the North Chaia Daily News
up
On our course we passed a number of Chinees gunboats, presumably patrolling the river to keep down piracy, for every day, or rather night, when we have tied wo have been visited by the river police, who usually left a guard on beard as a protection against robbers, and who left us in the early dawn this morning in imis- particular, bearing with them a appropriated case of our condensed milk. These gunboats here are nothing but junks, with a little three-pounder brass cannen mounted forward, and carrying a crow of some 20 soldiers
Talking of gunboats reminds me of a story that runs among the river bantmen here, which I will proceed to relato.
The U.S. gunboat Villalobos was tied up for day or the river and right opposite her was one of the Chinese gun- bosti hard and fast on a sandbank.
The Chinese pulled, the Chinese pushed, acd I вывих both partied swore in the excitement of the moment, but the feng shui" was unpropitious.
Then the crew proceeded to hold a meeting, watched with profound interest by all the gols,
EXIT THE WHITE COCK.
Presently the assembly paraded in the bows of the boat, had with much bang- ing of gongs and exploding of fire arackers, they baptised the prow with the blood of a white cock.
The Gods smiled upon them, and the bont slid off and went upon her way. But What
is not the end of the story, The very next day the Fallalobos stuck, hard and fast, on a similar sandbank.
The Americans pulled, the Americans pushed, and I am almost sure the crowd swore some in the excitement of the

Kill at the chickens you want" is the reply of the gallant officer as it was reported to me, and the gobs" eagerly availed themselves of his permission.
The firecrackers cracked, the gongs boomed, and the white cock-duly died, and whenever you meet a marine you have sey authority to tell him this story, adding the interesting fact that the Villklobas daly slid of the sandbank.
VISCOUNT'S NEXT. PRIZE. WILL LORD LASCELLES LEAD IN THE DERBY WINNER?
In the year of his wonderful matrimonial prize Viscount Lascelles-striking while his luck is running true-aspires to the most ambitious "double" of all time-the King's daughter for a bride in February and the Blue Riband of the Turf in June.
Will the lucky bridegroom win the Derby? Stranger things bare happened. At any rate the Epsom classic was one of the topics diamassed during the Royal wed ding festivities, and the Viscount's "classic colt, Mullein, was mentioned, the impression being gained that although the colts two- year-old form was but molerate, he had, in the long age of the turf, wintered so well" that his prospts of victroy at Epsom were not at all remote.
