"I asked him again to-day if he would take another lot to the Lushan and he replied that he would get into trouble if he did so Having heard rumours that Company had been settled I told him he need have no fear but he remarked that the boatmen had not received any notice of a settlement and until such a notice was received he could do ao thing.

Those who will eventually be charged will, arstly, it is expected, face an indict ment of piracy only, but further charges may be added in certain cases later.

So far, the question of any allegation of murder, as in the case of the Sai Kung ferry piracy: has not arisen, but if Mr. Lapsley is not found a delicate situation will arise.

In view of the successful trip of the Tetsusan Maru last week, another freighter is to be placed on the Hong Kong Canton run by the Canton-Shang hai . S. Company.

The work of God, He teaches, goes on throughout the ages. People see, as never before, that the world needs to be put in order but they are perplexed and without real hope.
