During_the, (reg nearly) halt n century I have lived in the lurid Eat I have heard many times about a mysterious race of Chinese Scots men, but it was only the other day I found conclusive pidof that the story was really true. Behold in me, therefore, one of the greatest discoverera of this age. Where ex- plorers and scientists have failed,

have triumphed. While these intrepid pioneers have been search ing for years in the hinterland of Ngan Shi Wan and Laichikok, have discovered this apparently legendary tribe right here in the midst of Hong Kong

Absolutely amazed at this jargon, I turned to a near-by loafer, obviously an aborigine, and asked if the people, in the small boat were Red Indians or Zulus, at the same time requeating him to translate, il possible, what the small boy had said.

A bit mystified as leg or not, but the memory of the episode came back like a flash as I listened to the strange noises coming over the wall of the Govern ment school the other day. Here was the same stange sing-song intonation, the same door gutturals, the same burr-r-r. and the same weird inflection. For a moment I thought that the St. Andrew's So cisty must be holding an open-air meeting, but the time and place med against the idea, though of course I realised that an open-air gathering involves no expense for the hiring of a half! My curiosity was aroused to such an extent that I simply had to peer over the wall.
