Daily News, the tugs left Macao, the Saucy with three load. ed barges and the St. Sampson with two loaded barges and the tug Otto in tow. Shortly after clearing the harbour, a dense fog, shut down which compelled the masters of the tugs to anchor with their tows until I s.m. on March 28. When the fog cleared partially, the tugs were able to resume their voyage, At 7.13 c'clock the same evening, Waglan Light was passed and fairly fine weather was experienced until after Breaker Foint was reached, when dirty weather commenced to set in with a strong breeze and a nasty pes from the north-east which caused the tow to inbour heavily and ship heavy water.

GATHERING, AT QUEEN'S

COLLEGE.

PRESENTATION TO MR. E. RALPHS.

At the Great Hall, Queen's College, yesterday, the Chinese. members of the Education Depart- ment gathered to make a presenta tion to Mr. E. Balphs, who is short. ly leaving the Colony on retirement after 35 years of service in the Colony.

Mr. Ng Fung Chat made the pro- sentation, and on the platform were members of the staff of the Technical Institute.

In the course of his speech, Mr, Ng paid tribute to the work of Mr. Ralphs, both in the Education De- "partment and in the St. John Am-

It appears from the letter that the accident was reported to a police-bulance Brigade. officer at the time or shortly after- wards, and the woman seems to have been given the impression that an investigation into the affair would be held within two or three weeks. At the end of that period, however, she alleges that nothing was done, and a visit to the German Consulate also proved fruitless.

The woman stated that her child was an only daughter, and asked if the Chamber of Commerce could do something for her.

After a short discussion, the Chamber decided to take up the matter with the police authorities.

Why Take Action?

A member questioned whether such a matter was within the pro- vince of the Chamber of Commerce.. He thought it was essentially a matter for the Courts.

Discussion followed, in the course of which it was stated that the lower and middle-classes of Chinese in Hong Kong looked to the Cham- ber of Commerce to assist them in many personal affairs. The matter might not be strictly one for the Chamber to deal with, but the least they could do was to bring to the notice of the authorities the fact that they have received a letter from a woman who believed she had grievance, and leave the matter in the hands of the authorities.

Continuing, the speaker said that all present knew how much MT. Ralphs had done for the education of the Colony, particularly in re gard to the Chinese community, and in this instance, they were parti- cularly grateful. Shakespeare said,

If it be true wine needs no bush, 'tis true that a good play needs no prologue," and he would add that a worthy man like Mr. Ralphs needed no praise from, him.

The Presentation.

In making the presentation, Mr. Ng said: Mr. Ralpha, on the oc- casion of your impending retire- ment to enjoy your well earned rest, we, the members of the Chinese staff of the Education Department and the students of the Vernacular Teachers Classes, together with some of your personal friends, are assembled here to-day to tender to you our homage and an, expression of sincere regret at the approach- ing date of your departure.

Therefore, Mr. Ralphs, on behalf of a very large number of subscrib- crs, I will ask you to accept these scrolls, this blackwood table and this set of Chinese incense burners and candlesticks of your own choos

It was then proved that Captain Josefsen's decision to run for shelter had bee's most wise, for, on examination, it was found that certain, units of the tows had sus- tained structural damage and were lexking and, if the tow had been continued in that heary weather, it is probable. that the damaged units of the tow might have foundered with their valuable cargoes.

For a long time, he had looked forward to his retirement, with the feeling that it would be very nice to be able to return to his native land, and what was best of all, no more work! Now, on the eve of his departure, a feeling of sadness had come over him, and he was beginning to realise how much he loved this part of the world.

Mr. Ralphs said he noted with a feeling of pride that the Technical Institute had made very rapid ad- vancement and, funnily enough, some of the people present in the Hall were his pupils ever so many
