RESCUED AT SEA.

SMART WORK BY RIVER BOAT.

A particularly smart piece of rescue work, which was carried out in what is believed to be record time locally, was effected by the officers and crew of the s.8. Tung On when on the way from Canton to Hongkong yesterday.

It appears that sometime during the morning, when the Tung On was travelling at her usual speed of 13 to 14 knots, a Chinese passen- ger either fell or jumped overboard, and owing to the speed of the ves- sel began to fall rapidly astern..

Immediately the alarm raised the Tung On put about, and In an incredibly short space of time she had passed close to the unfor- tunate man abd ffung a life buoy within easy distance. A lifeboat was then lowered, the man rescued, and the lifeboat safely stowed awny.

Hindle opened out to good purpose in the last two rounds, his beating a regular tattoo on opponent's face and body, with a two-handed attack.

The match was for the feather- weight championship of the Colony and the G. M. Young Belt and victory went to youth. There must have been ten years at least between Hindle and Halligan, though the latter put up a great fight against a nimble adversary. A very strong fighter, neverthe- less he appeared to be weak in the punch. Hindie was cautioned for holding, he might also have been cautioned for unfair use of his head.
