Biriking Figure.

It was a figure and personality to which no camera could do jus tice. Six feet in height, straight as a lance despite his seventy-six years, and litho and supple as any athlete, Mr. Shaw literally lit up his surroundings, and the murky morning looked the brighter for his presence.

Pressmen were not very much in favour with Mr. Shaw. He had had a surfeit of them in Bombay. At first, therefore, he refused to give an interview.

"I spoke to some Pressmen on board," he said, "and that will do for the lot of you.”

"There were five of them," Mr. Shaw replied.

"But they represent only one section." our representative réiter- ated

Mr. Shaw: I cannot help it. You must be satisfied with that!
