CHOW FU'S ACTIVITY.

It is interesting to note that even at the age of seventy odd years, H.E. Viceroy Chow is still as active as ever. Yesterday, when he was going out for visiting purposes in a chair, he anddenly stopped at Watkins' Dispensary, in Shook Mun Tai Street, and ordered to be brought to him a harse, on which he mounted and rode away in a very misterly manner.

THE "HANKOW" FIRE.

THE AMERICAN LADY PASSENGERS,

of the s.s. Hanke, dated the 7th inst., is The following letter from Capt. B. Brinch,

published in the Manila Times of 14th idem→→ I received yesterday, a clipping from your contemporary, the Manila Ameriçan, of October 31 referring to the fire which occurred on the Canton River Heamer Hankow on October 14th last.

In justice to myself and officers, I am com pelled to repudiate the statements therein con- tained and must express my doubts as to whether the ladies mentioned really furnished she said statements.

A thorough investigation has been held'in ongkong by two separate Courts, one a Cammer's Court of Inquiry and the other a Marine Court, the former dealing with the cause of death of those lost in the Hanbow and the latter holding an inquiry into the baliaviour of the master and officers and their efforts to 1ave life and property after.ie fire was reported. The master, and officers were exonerated from all blame, the finding of the Court being that under the circumstances considering the rapidity and fierceness of the flames every- thing that could be done was done to save life ceedings as published in the Hongkong papers, and property. I enclose copy of Court pro-

in safety on the wharf and then again returned I personally saw two of the ladies mentioned,

to the scene of the fire. None of the saloon passengers had to go through fire and smoke as reported. They all went on shore by the regolar gangway before the fire reached the farward end of steamer where the saloon was situnted. With several hundred lives at elske on the, after part of the steamer where the fro commenced and was raging fiercely, it was impossible to consider passengers perignal effects, all efforts were being directed to check the fire and save life and the ship's officers were doing their best in that direction.

The engineers were driven from the engine room in their attempt to start the steam pumps, the 2nd engineer narrowly escaping

before they could coupe up the hose, and none from the band pumps by the fire and smoke with his life. The officers were driven

of them left the steamer entil they saw that unless by so doing they would lose their own lives without advantage to. Iers,

I think the proof of this is that they were the last living people to leave the steamer and saved none of their personal effects. To some instances their papers containing references as to character, etc., extended ever a period of forly years, and these papers it is impossible to replace.

The first thought and duty of a sailor is to save his ship and the lives of passengers, and the European officers, deserted by the Chinese crew, were doing their best in that direction until compelled to retire,

With reference to the American Cootel. General, Mr. Wilder, doing nothing to assist ladies in distress, I may mention that the Comal-General is known, throughout Hong. kong as an American gentleman and think so fatther recommendation is necessary,
