PILOT COLLAPSES

CAPTAIN D. T. JAMES DIES

WHILE GOING ON DUTY

Twenty Years In China Waters

Shanghai, Dec, 28. Shanghai shipping circles were shocked yesterday at the news of the death early in the morning of Captain D. T. James, licensed pilot as he was going on duty." A mem- ber of the Shanghai Licensed Pilots Association, Captain. James

left the office at about 9.10 am) and appeared to be in his normal state of good health as he said good-bye, to Captain J. W. Carle, manager of the association before leaving for the pilot lamich.

Ten" minutes later; however, the laodah of the launch ran into the

office, and said that Captain James had collapsed a few minutes after he had boarded the launch. Cap-

tain Carle immediately went down to the boat, and found Captalu James lying on a settce in the ex- bin. An ambulance was hastily summoned-and he was taken to the General Hospital, but he was found to be dead on arrival,

A native of Cardiganshire, South Wales where he was born some 45 years ago, the late Captain James was a sailor of the old school, re- ceiving his apprenticeship in vari- ous square-rigged sailing ships. He first came out to China about twenty years ago, and joined Messrs. Butterfield & Swire's coas- tal fleet as a master.

Owing to the heavy fall in exchange rates-resulting in an increase in the price of malt, hops, coal, etc., in local currency and a rise in duty-we are reluctantly compelled to increase the prices of H,B. BEER as above, as from the 1st January, 1936."

These prices represent, however, an addition of only 20 per cent on pints and 18 per cent on quarts, as against a drop of 45 per cent in exchange rates since the old prices were fixed.

We are satisfied that there is no better, purer beer than H.B. obtainable in the Far East, and we ask all who have not yet tried it to do so now.

These are critical times in the history of Hong Kong when we should all stand together, and we feel that we can confidently appeal to the Hong Kong
