On 27th August list, Mrs. Chan Yoi Tong, wife of the compradore of the Nippon Yusen Kaisha, residing at 78, Queen's Road East, reported to Inspector Gourlay at Nova Police Station that one of her servant moids, a girl about fiess years of age, nåmed Shui-la, had disappeared from her house and had not been seen for days. Incidentally, she mentioned that a pair of gold bangles, which she valued at $100, was missing and sho feared Shui Ha had taken them, The East Point sleuth-hounds were let loose, but the whereabouts of the servant girl could not be traced. Every pawnshop in the. city was searched for the missing "banglas with similar results. And for over a month matters

remained at a standstill. When the police were thinking that the girl had probably left relax, welcome news reached the station on the Colony, and their energy was beginning to Wednesday aftercoon.

Inspector Gourlay lost no time to recopeditring, and after much in quity he located, the house-No. 53-where the girl was supposed to be living.
