The vessel would run between Hongkong and Manila, and he hoped some of those present would travel on her and test her behaviour at sea.

ADDITIONAL "TIME" FOR "FRACTIOUS PRISONER.

A prisoner at Lai Chi Kok gani, who was serving six months' imprisonment for burglary, was sentenced to three weeks extra imprisonment by Mr. C. D. Mel- at the Magistracy, yesterday bourne morning.

It was stated that the accused gries- ously assaulted another prisoner on July 25th. The complainant's term of impri- aonment has since expired, but he is still an inmate of the Government Civil Hos

From the evidence it appeared that the accused charged the complainant with "sneaking" to a European warder. "This" accusation resulted in him receiving a cuffug, and this was followed by ill-feel- ing and, ultimately, assault.

The Hon. Mr. A. Q., Lang, replying to the toast of the Sui Sung stated that,itai. as a Director of the Indo-China Co. for several years, he could testify to the excel lent construction of the ships built at the Kowloon Dock.. The very fact that in addition to the Sai Sang another vessel had been laid dow, and yet another was

The accused's defence was that the nearing completion, far the Indo-China Steam Navigation Company, bore elo-complainant injured himself by falling quent testimony to the high opinion he over some led-boards. and his fellow-directors entertained of the quality of the steamers turned out by this Dockyard. Mr. Bernard had said the Su Seng would run between Hongkong and Manila. She was particularly well suited for the run, and special arrangements had been introduced into her design to enpe efficiently with the perishable goods traf that route, and he trusted their Chinese supporters would make note of that fact.

She was, farthermore, well fitted for passenger work, and, having a good turn of speed, should prove popular to the travelling public.

Mr. Lang took the opportunity.ol_re- ferring to the Loong Sang tragedy. The vessel was, he said, for many years in the Indo-China line, and he wished to express the deep sympathy felt by the Directors with those who lost relatives and friends in the catastrophe. The General Mas- agers wished him to express their thanks and appreciation of the valuable services rendered by the Naval authorities on this secasion, and for their valued en-operation in searching for survivors afterwards. Mr. Lang then asked the gathering to join, him in wishing all good fortune to the Hongkong and Whampoa Dock Co., Ltd.

Mr. E. Cock replied that the Dock Com- pany and the Indo-China Company arched side by side, and it was fitting. therefore, for him to express to that Com pany and its officers, whose gallantry had been shewn in the recent enlamities. the Dock Co.'s sorrow and sympathy in the losses of life and property they had recently sustained. The last two months had been very trying for the Dock Com- pany's staff, who had all done their best for the safety and security of the vessels, in their charge, and froin the kind way in which the toast of the Dork Company had been accepted, he concluded that their efforts did not pass unrecognised. It was his pleasant luty to propose the health of the guests, and he was proud to be able to couple with this toast the name of Commodore Grace, whose inter est and-geniality were such a feature of all meetings, whether concerned with work or play, in Hongkong,

Commodore Grace, in bis, response, thanked Mr. Lang for the kind remarks he had made about the little help the Navy had been able to render during the recent typhoon, which had clearly-demon-- strated that the most serious disasters were possible despite every precaution. Britons had justly won fame as seame and he trusted they would ever maintain their, 'name In these day of skill and science it was most necessary that the prestige of the. British, on the sea should' he upbell, and he felt certain that it would lie. Science and skill had to a certain extent removed many of the dan- gers of the sea,, but those who went down to the in "ships in typhoon-infested waters were well aware that skill and science were not all that was necessary. Britain's work was not yet done, and antil science and skill had removed all dangers well afficered and skilfully handled ships would ever remain the paramount factor in saving life at sch

The idy of Mr. W. H. Hunt, partner in Messrs. Wm. Forbes and Co., Tientsin, was found in the sea on the 24th inst. at eitaiho with a laullet wound in the head.
