Employee Disappears In China. The employee was in the Singa- pore firm of Sam Buchenholz and Co., in North Bridge Read, and a warrant has been issued for his arrest, but the latest news of him is that he has disappeared from Nanking into the interior of China.
On September 12th a parcel of diamonds valued at $128,000 was sent by Sam Buchenholz and Co., by registered letter post, to Colombo, addressed to the Euro- penn at Post Restante, Colombo. The parcel was taken to the Post Office at Singapore by this em ployee and by Mr. E. Buchenholt, the employee following it up to Colombo & few days later.
At Colombo, the parcel was open- ed in the presence of the Customs Appraiser, and the sensational dis covery was then made that 8125,000 of precious stones had been stolen and only a small packet valued at 83,000 left.
An examination of the package. revealed that a hole had been cut in the tin case in which the various packets of diamonds had been placed. A seal which had been impressed on sealing war had been. very carefully cut round and removed, the paper underneath it and the tin being similarly cut. A piece of cardboard was replaced to Nos. 5 and 7 Platoons will parade carer the hole. The seal coming on at Corps Headquarters for Squad top of this was so carefully work- and Arms Drill Dress: Mufti,ed at the edges that it was dificult rife, belt and sidearms.

The Post Office Oleared. The package had been posted at Singapore immediately before the closing of the homeward mail, and there was no time for the theft, which was apparently the work of an expert, to have been done at Singapore. The police, however, had an analysis made of the wax of the seal that had been tampered with, and thig showed that in the replacing of the seal the same wax had been used. That, cleared the Singapore Postal. employees of all suspicion
both by the Singapore and the Investigations were continued, Colombo police. The European employee, in the meantime, having reported the loss at Colombo, went
on to Cairo, on the firm's business. He returned to the Far East, pass- ing through Singapore on his way to Saigon, also on the firm's busi- neas, and the affair remained a mystery till a few days ago.
