ADVENTURE OF AN EASTER HOLIDAY)

An exciting story of adventure ampog hostile Chinese is related by one of the numerous parties which went up country for the Easter holidays. The story, fortunately, has a happy. ending but how parrowly it missed becoming a tragedy will easily be seen. As related by the. N, O. D.

They do not Fairoleurs Company in Shanghai, his daughter necessarily imply, that bad weather is expected Miss Darling, and a friend Miss Stunt, and Mr. here:- F. O. Reynolds, also of the Asiatic Patroleum Company. They started last Saturday on board the twin-screw motor houseboat Phưmin (which was described in these columan soma little time. ago) to visit the Tabu Laka.. The trip passed off uneventfully.sad-it-was not till-Monday, when they bad left Soochow on the homeward-journ ney, that adventures began. At Quipsad, as there was abundance of time, the party decided, instead of following the Sorchow creek, to take the longer round by the Henli reach.

USEFUL ARTICLES

The situation Tooked extremely serious. The Phonix carried four Winchesters and one of the party had a revolver. But the disparity of numbers was too great, for any question of resistance. By the advice of the laodah, who „proved himself throughout the adventure the deservedly trusted servan; that he is and exhibited the greatest protance of mind, an attempt was made to parley. The laodab left the Phasix to go in search of the local magis. trate, having previously set two of the crew to, keep watch fure add aft and wained the comainder of the party to remain out of sight. During the lacdab's absence the four foreigners made haste to load the Win chesters and instruct the ladies of the party lip the use of them. The courago shown, by Miss.

A NARROW ESCAPE,

The first intention was to remain till morn ing. But as the night advanced some speakers could be heard in the crowd excitedly arguing that, since the magistrate had been paid, they' top might as well have their share of booty. FOOT-On this it was decided to make a move and at about half-past one o'clock in the morning the Phoenix managed to slip quietly away up the Creeks to Quinsan and eventually arrived in Shanghai, without further misadventure, on T346 Tuesday afternoon.
