Chinese servants employed in the houss say that the French sailor Bukanni romained in the house all Thursday night and went away at 10 am on Friday but returned afmost im mediately aftewards and got card from the deceased, going away the second time at 445, .m., the two servants then going back to sleep just inside the door.

The latest discovery takes the form of an awful danger which lurks in the water-boles of untrained buliahs. Several people have taken the announcement more reriously than is consistent with sound commonsense and am told a few persons of the female persuasion thesatened to go into shrieking state of hysterics bad they not been promptly re assured that all was well. Now I feel incilsed to wonder why people are so fond of tablog mess advantage of the bigbly-sting natures of the Hongkong public. When we are not threatened with a water famine we are volem ly warned of the danger which exists in water hrles. Of coume, the afforts of the energetic official who is trying to do his best to save from a premature burial are praiseworthy in the extreme and are certainly deserving of the C.M.G. but having regard to local peculiarities It appears to me stey are ill-advised. Next time a fresh danger is discovered, the Board would do well to follow the recent action of the Head of the Bavitary: Department, who dropped -a bomb-shell in the moblic dove-cotes by saying that certain correspondence was to be conɛldar-
