The ricksha boys dropped anchor for awhile when the tram-car was obliged to halt at various stopping. places. One of them, who had his companions wel beaten, dashed ahead and waited in Arsenal Street, evidently expecting the Navy to surrender at this point. This, how- ever, did not come to pass, and the next lap was carried out along the Praya as far as the Wanchai fire station, where two of the ricksha boys decided to give up. The third continued until the next halt, and then he also decided to turn back.
