ACCIDENT AT GIBRALTAR,

Passing the Needles and having discharged the pilt the magnificent pair of engines were opened out to 15 knots and the course set for Gibraltar 1,172 miles distant. Cape Ushant the first-edge, so to speak of the world-renowned night and after rather a mugh passage Gibraltar Bay of Biscay, was passed at 11 pm, the same

was sighted early on the afternoon of February 24th. As the mail steamer was entering the harbour the small sailing vessel bringing out the pilot was caught by a sudden gust and (the sheet being faul) capsized, some 7 or 8 men contri-being thrown into the sea, which tuckily at the time was faily smooth. A lifeboat having been sent to the rescue and all concerned pick- ed up, the steamer after a short detention anchored outside die ioner harbour mote off Gsbrahar and was shortly afterwards boarded by the usual naval authorities and the necess- ary pratique granted.

A New York judge has ruled that insur ance officials are guilty of larceny in buting to political campaign funds.

Witness paid Soo on account, and a date was arranged for payment of the balance, but on that date Yuen Tez King was ill, and so he later called at his house and paid the balance of $1.400. After completing the transaction Yuen Tez King said he could come in at any time he hiked and take posses. sion of the shop. Witress bad sonic carpen tering work done, and two new sign-boards painted and hoisted, announcing that Eurapean refreshments were obtain.ble within. He paid $400 for these alterations. Aber the transac tion was completed he rank in new partners in the business, and their names and the amounts they paid, for their shares were en- tered in the back produced. Then heating that he was taking in new patteri Yuen Tsz King came to him and asked for a $1.000 sbate in the business, and it was given him. When the transaction was completed witnėsa was informed that there were 16 o wurth of debts outstanding, but he bad only been able to recover lie amount of $4.

After a few hours' stay in order to enable the mails and passengers to be landed and shipped from the mail tender, the anchor was raised and the course set for Genna- distance of 850 miles, which port was reached on February 28th at 11.30 am., the steamer making fast to the central wharf on the opposite side of the wharf to the Mail Sir, Humburg of the same company's New York tine.

Having several hours to await here for the Lundon overland passengers, many already on board availed themselves of the opportunity afforded of visiting the city of Genoa, Of all Italian cities, Genoa is the most neat and most beautiful. No one should pass Genoa on a mail steamer without seeing the famous Van Dyckes, the Campo Santo-by far the inest costly and magnificent in the whole world, many of the tombs and monuments costing ters of thousands of francs. Garibaldi was not exactly a Gendese as he was born at Nice, but his father and family were natives of Genna, Noon on Feb. 28rli saw the mail. steamer picking her way cuefully out of the sci-circular harbour, which although over 4 miles long is always crowded with shipping.

His Honour: What does that mean? Witness: Li Hong Chau said he had settled

the matter.

His Honour: But in your affidavit on the application to get the money out you simply say that the firm is a new one; you don't say anything about settlement. How is that?

Witness: I relied on the word of another

A few special features, however, should be noticed. The electric fans fitted to all and every and class cabin revolves for the entire voyage. The baggage room is open daily to all.

Some boys hung on to a sailor's ricksha and shrieked for cum- shs. The ten-cent piece was not forthcoming, and it took the ricksha Coolio some time to clear them away, with the flat of his foot, to the sailors' great delight. They not only pester the sailors and tourisis, but when the former are not to be found, Hongkong residents become the victims. It behoves the police to clear these street arabs off the street. They can perform their tricks to their heart's content on board sampans, when alongside ship, but when they take to making the public roads a gymnasium and blocking traffic, that is another question.

While there are, as is only natural, several German dishes to order at every meal the number of courses ready to order at breakfast, lunch and late dioner is simply legion and fully 75 per cent, of all dishes at every meal are served with the same care and skill as they would be in a first class London hotel; the puddings and ices of the second class at the 6 pan, dinner have on this voyage especially bren u constant delight to all the passengers,
