Vessel Helpless As Armed Men Pour Aboard From Junks

Shanghai, July 6.

Captain Oliver Crompton Blown, a British mariner from Deal, master of the Tseang Tah, narrowly escaped death at the hands of pirates last night.

Forty armed men came aboard his craft from two junks. The Tseang Tah was then 60 miles off Shanghai, steaming towards Tungchow, with a cargo chiefly consisting of cigarettes.

The pirates, who were heavily armed, fired point-blank at the master of the ship. They missed.

Their next shots seriously wounded one of the crew and two Chinese passengers.

SUPPLEMENTARY

BUDGET FIGURES

SHOW SWIFT RISE

Nearly Million Dollars For Loan Works in 1938

A supplementary Budget, calling for the expenditure of $744,321 for 1937, will be introduced in Legislative Council to-morrow by the Financial Secretary.

Almost half of this supplementary expenditure is required for Government Pensions, the estimated total of $2,200,000 being insufficient by $359,809 to provide pensions during the year.

The new total of $2,569,809 for pensions constituted a record for the Colony, the previous highest total being $2,090,000 in 1934.

Ten years ago the Colony's total pension bill was $803,900. In 1920 it

was $266,320, so that it has trebled in ten years and increased tenfold in 18 years.
