The Scorpion, of $70 tons displace- ment, was built by J. Samuel White and Co., of Cowes, and the contract ralled for her delivery at Hongkong. where she was taken over by the Navy on November 10. Earlier ves- sels of the river gunboat class have been shipped in sections and recon- structed in China, or in very rare cases have been towed out after being j strengthened for the passage by the litting of extra bulkheads. The Scor- plon made the voyage of some 10,000 nautical miles under her own power. !

The vessel was taken over at Cowes by F. P. Barney and Co., Limited. ship and Insurance brokers, who specialize in the delivery of vessels abroad, and left on September 2. She was under the command of Captain W. G. T. Tingey, a master mariner who has been with the firm for several years, and had a crew of 17 all told. Call were made at Gibraltar, Malta, Port Said, Aden, Bombay, Colombo, Singapore and Miri.

The ship would have proceeded in the ordinary way from Singapure to Hongkong, but beenuse of an impend- ing north-east monsoon the captain elected to sail via Miri and the Pala- wan Passage. She reached Hongkong on November 0.

When it is remembered that the ship's draught of water is only 3ft.
