ON BOARD THE "CHOY SANG,"

"What was the cause of your delay t Swatow?" asked the newspaperman..

"We were delayed about twenty-four hours on account of a very dense fog which came up on the evening of the 6th and "lasted until the morning of the 7th while we were anchored off the Lammucks, outside Swatow. Very unusual weather for this time of the year."

Our representative then had a look around and found fifteen ponies in boxes quartered in the for part of the ship, all appearing in good condition, and from a glance it could be ascer tained that they were a batch of fine animals,

"Thirteen of these," remarked the chic officer who was supervising the discharge, and pointing to the ponies, "are from Ticalsin for jardine's,"

#How did the ponies fare on the way down "Very well. You see we had a very good trip and they were eating nearly all the time. Those griffins, I understand, are part of the sto popies the Wai Shing brought downto Shang- hai from Tientsin."

at the fare part of the ship there was a scene of great activity.
