THRILLING FIGHT

ON STEAMER.

POLICE INSPECTOR TRAPS OPIUM SMUGGLERS.

Colombo, May 8.

Disguised as a coal coolie, sub- Inspector Abbas of the Harbour Police went on board the B.I. steamer Homedeld last night and arranged with the serang to pur- chase contraband.

He took Rs. 1.100 in Indian cur- rency notes with him and on be ing invited by the serang went down into the poop, the lascars quarter's.

Once inside the poop, he found about twenty lascars moving about the place. The serang pro- duced nine packets of opium, S.L Abbas took them and handed" over the money to the serang.

Immediately this was done S.I. Abbas arrested the serang and blew his whistle for assistance from the patrol boat. The serang and several of the lascars seized S.I. Abbas. His whistle was cut, but fortunately not before the last blast had been heard by the re- scue party.

By this time S.I. Titcombe and E. P. S. Parkins and the other member of the boarding party rushed into the poop and prompt- ly rescued S.I. Abbas who was be- ing assaulted.

There was a fierce scramble in the poop before the sub-Inspector was overpowered. He was held Phillipa was a bit surprised.

"What would you do, Miss West, you found yourself obliged to adopt a child?" he asked her. Phillipa was startled, but not off her guard.'

"I'd rather," she said instantly, "have one of my own."
