An exciting experience befell Mr. D. Stewart and a party of friends, including two ladies, who were spend- ing the week-end in the motor junk “Au Chau Chi-hung". in company with Mr. Sverre Berg and a party of his friends, who were in the yacht "Irene.”

Three other yachtsmen, Captain C. C. Fowkes, Mr. R. A. Wadeson and Mr. L. F. Nicholson, were compelled to seek refuge at Saikung after an exceedingly rough passage from Port Shelter, and walked to Hongkong by the path over the hills through Customs Pass to Kow- loon City this morning.
