Shortly before 8 o'clock on Sunday evening, on the Prayn, a 'Chinese lad was rescued in the nick of time from drowning by Captain" O. E Farrer, of the Douglas steamer Hai- ching. There was the usual helpless crowd of onlookers, and only Cap tain Farrer's prompt and plucky action saved the lad's life.

Captain Farrer had been driven down to his ship at the Douglas Wharf in a motorear, and was in the car of paying the driver when he heard some shouting just beyond the stern of his vessel, the Hai- ching. Running to the edge of the Prays, where there was a crowd of people standing helplessly looking down into the water-chattering and shouting but otherwise inactive- Captain Farrer learned that a Chi neso boy had fallen into the water. Promptly throwing off his coat, be ran down the steps near the stern of the Haiching and jumped into the water in an effort to find the lad.

Since the war, quite a number of new "gadgets" for rapidly altering the elevation and deflection of the gun have been evolved and the gun which was tried out at Kai Tack can be regarded as the par ercel fence of that type of weapon.
