It appears that on Tuesday some trouble arose over a con- signment of wines and spirits from Hongkong, which, although passed by the Customs and the Wine Tax Bureau, was later seized by the latter.

After ineffectual protests, the merchant and his clerk were conducted by detectives to the Bureau Headquarters, where revolvers were thrust at them, and later they were taken to the Finance Ministry.

At the latter place, two soldiers with fixed bayonets handed them over to armed guards, who thrust them into a small, evil-smelling cell where there were over twenty Chinese prisoners, and here they were kept all night, suffering all manner of indignities.

I now transpires that the aeroplane mishap yesterday, exclusively reported in the Telegraph, was due to engine failure.

The machine, a Fairey 3D, of the 442 FR. Flight, was piloted by Flying Officer G.H. Randle. An engine fault developed while the plane was flying over the harbour, and it was necessary to make a forced landing near *Shaukiwan,
