PERILOUS ADVENTURE IN THE HARBOUR,

At about half-past one on Wednesday, whilst P. C. Cook, who was on harbour duty in a pinnance, noticed an overturned sampan леле the Canton-Macan wharf, and some Chinese struggling in the water. On arriving at the scene he saw a European also in the water, who turned out to be Captain Andersco of the steamer Hatton. It appears that Capt. Anderson, who engaged the sampan from his ship, was just nearing land when a sudden squall struck the sampun and upset it, precipi tating the occupants into the water. All were safely taken on board the pinnace, when it was discovered that a young child was missing. alactity the Chinese

But it was for them to make up their minds whether or not the prosecution had proved the sintent to muider or to do grievous bodily harm. If there was any reasonable doubt in their minds then it was their duty to discharge the prisoner. He proceeded to comment on the evidence of the prosecution and remarked no the fact that prisoner could not give his version of the affa'r en oath. The stewardness had not been called though be thought the evidence she gave at the Police Court would not make them think the Captain was anxious she should he present at the trial. What she had stated was to the effect that while asleep in her cabin she was awakened by a crash at the door and heard a voice say "Captain, you cannot do this; I have too much, respect far that woman; I will kill you? That he thought, bore out the statement of the pri- soner that the captain was trying to get into the woman's cabin, and that in defence of her honour prisoner remonstrated with him.

THE SENTENCE..

In passing sentence His Lordship said Albert Marshall, you have been found guilty on, I think, very clear evidence, of shooting at your captain on board of the ship on which you were steward with intent to murder him. If that bullet which you fired and cut his shoulder with had gone into his brain or into his heart-nchher of them were very many inches off that spot-you would undoubtedly have been tried for murder. I wish to say nothing to aggravate the distressing position in which you now find yourself, but
