BELGIAN PRIEST IN CHARGE OF THE LEPROSARIUM IN SHEKLUNG, IS BEING Brought to HONGKONG BY FAITHFUL CHINESE PORTERS.

Sheklung is 35 miles from Canton, nearly sixty miles from the Hongkong frontier.

The journey has already taken the party three days. The venerable Belgian his stretcher, his legs, arms and face priest lies absolutely helpless on completely paralysed.

Runners have brought details of the journey down the Kowloon-Canton Railway, the Intest information being that the party, which started out from Sheklung three days ago, is about 25 miles from the border city of Shum Chun.

An ambulance is standing by at Sheungshui, six miles from the border.

It has been waiting there since Monday, and will proceed to the border as soon as news is brought that the
