A CORRESPONDENT Informs us that „Meurs, Bulterfield and Swire's agent at Swalow has made a corinus sort of effort to reward the services of pilot Focken, who rescued so many of the mmen. gers from the wreck of the their steamer Funsas a few days ago. The gallant pilot, it wems, was sent fr by the agent, who, after a good deal of talkee-talkee all same soft goap feasted Capt, Facken's eyes with the sight of Compradore's Order for fifty dollars! The pilat, who is every inch a man, promptly declined the Tattoo bounty, and suggested that it should be given to bls Chinese host's crew, who deserved to be rewarded for the exira work they orrformed on the occasion of the wreck of the Tengshan and Yunnan, For himself, he was sufficiently rewarded by the knowledge that he was suppore i to have rescued the lives of dozens of his fellow creatures for the sako of a few paltry dollars. If this is true we can but cong atulate the Swatow communly an having in its midst a man worthy the name, and express the hops that the Chinese authoritier will recognise the pilot's heroic conduct, in a suitable manner without delay.
THE Hongay coal was thoroughly tested on one of the Douglas Co's steamers this morning Mesus C. P. Chater, T. E. Davies, and & G. Morris were on board at the time. The trial, which was crucial tert lasting fully four hours was statisfactory in every way, the wessel attaining a speed of eleven kools although the firemen were unaccustomed to "firing up with coal of the description - used exclusively on this occasion. Other tests are on the fapia, but from what has already resulted from receptor trials it would seen that the Hongay coat is the best, and cheapest procurable, and is equal to the brai Cardiff..

The payment of a dividend to shareholders has heen carefully considered by your directors, but having regard to the large amount standing to the debit of profit and loss account, they feel that in the interests of the Company they would not be used in recommending one.
There being no questions, the Chairman moved the adoption of the report and accounts. Mr. Ric seconded the motion, which was carried. On the motion of Mr. Stokes seconded by Mr. Coughttle, Messrs. J. Anderson and C. P. Chater were re-elected directors.
On the motion of Mr. Davis seconded by Mr. Medy, Messis. Harms and Patts were re-elected nuditors.
