MIRS, HOLE REPLIES Mrs. Hoe in a very happy and the appropriate speech thanked Taikoo Dockyard fo: kindy asking her to perform the christening ceremony. In doing so she said:- need hardly tell you how honour. ed I was at being asked to christ, in this fine new No. 1 Police Launch, and I am proud to bask in the reflected glory ой her achievement.

It is so splendid to know that she is a real. Hong Kong product from truck to keel constructed en- tirely by local workmen who have been working on her for the last six months...

Mr. King and his brave police- men wil. doubtless use her for a Eorts of purposes and wherever she goes she wil not only be an crasment to Hong Kong waters but a tower of strength to protect us in time of danger so long as We keep the right" side of the law.
