FATHER VAN PRAÉTS ORDEAL.

SAW FELLOW-PRISONERS SHOT.

GEASTLY EXPERIENCES WHILE IN CAPTIVITY.

Some amazing information has come to hand, the 3.-C. Daily News says, regard- ing the recent capture by bandits and subsequent release of Dr. Thompson and Father van Prnet, the story being told in a letter received by Mr. A. de C. Sowerby from the Trans-Asia Photo Scientific Expedition. At l'aotou, where Dr. Thompson was captured, the expedi tion got inte touch with Father van Prnet, the priest recently released after having been captured by bandits about Father 340 south of Kueihunebeng. van Praet was taken into the Orios Desert and kept at the headquarters of the Northern Ordos Mengols, the band who held him prisoner being composed of men of this tribe, with a sprinkling of Chinese. He had a terrible experi ence before he was released, for the bandits summarily executed many of their Chinese prisoners and he had to witness the shooting of 40 of them.

да

The terms enforced for the release of Father ran Pract included the enrolment of the chief of the district and 250 of his men in the Chinese army. Another remarkable and really ludicrous fact was that the rauson for Father Priet's Chinese bodyguard was paid in cigarettes. which apparently the bandits. valuri beyond money. The bandits are said to be mounted on "excellent horses and are well armed with Hauser rifles and pistols. The money raised for the release of Dr. Thompson is said to have been retained by the bodyguard.

SCIENTIFIC EXPEDITION FOLLOWING MARINO FOLO'S BOUTE

The quest of the expedition from whom this information has been obtained is most interesting, the object being to tenverse the whole of the Central Asian route followed by Marco Polo on his sup- posed journey into India by Kashgar, no the way taking moving pictures and other photographs of scientific, ethnolo gical and geographical interest, and collecting biological specimenn. Despite the hardships and dangers of auch s expedition starting in mid-winter, there Mr. is a lady amongst the travellers. Eugene Lamb and his wife, Mrs. Corinne Lamb, with a Chinese biologist, Mr. Wong Hai Cheng, made a start on the journey early in February, when they left Peking for Kalgan. The next stage was at Datungfu and theres to Saiyaan, or Kueihuacheng, where they took a number of pictures. Here also, on February 23rd, they were joined by the other member of the expedition, Mr., Floyd S. Tangier-Smith, who had been delayed in Feking securing various per mits. The party continued on to Pantos," the terminus of the railway, where they ascertained the story of the bandits.

HOW TO GET GOOD SERVICE FROM

MICHELIN TYRES.

Keep tyres pumped up to correct pressure for the load they have to carry. We can tell you what this should be,

When tyres are under inflated there is continual internal friction between the foundation cord and the rubber, causing overheating of the tyre and consequent rapid deterioration.

Water can also enter causing rust, resulting eventually in the rims having sharp edges which cut the walls of the tyre near the bead.

Most cars in Hongkong run on under inflated tyres with the above disastrous results. Have your wheels examined front and rear for trueness and tracking alignment., “If they are at fault in this respect the tread of the cover is subject to a grinding action which quickly destroys the cover.

Keep tyres free from oil and grease.

Start and stop gently and take corners slowly.

Lastly buy MICHELIN tyres from us and follow the above advice and

tyre satisfaction is assured.
