Hello & Goodbye

(BY A. W. HYER)

The Hongkong and Kowloon Wharf, and Godown Co.'s plers were honoured yesterday by a visit of H.M.S. Eagle. It is quite unusual to see the large Navy ship tied up to one of the local piers: The, occasion, was the transfer of one thousand men from the aircraft-carrier to HM. Troopship Dilwara, which arrived from England yesterday bringing the new crew for the Earle. With little ado the change was made in short order and the Eagle returned to her buoy in the harbour. m.v.
