The Cheung On is a freighter and, according to the local agents, has no accommodation for pas sengers. She is under the com- mand of a foreign master, Capt. H. O. Udden, and carries a crew of about 60 Chinese officers and men. As the vessel is already about a week overdue the local agents have enlisted the help of the Harbour Office authorities. As a result, a notice was this morning issued by the Harbour Master requesting any vessel which has met her to report to him, giving the time,

The French steamer Governor General Paul Doumer left Saigon on July 10 and arrived in port this mprning. It is understood that in- quiries were made on board, but! no sign of the Cheung On was seen by this vessel.
