Of these numbers the 7-pr. Battery is six men short of the establishment, while the Machine Gun Sections number only one officer and forty-six non-com- missioned officers and men; but it is known, although dispositions have not been based thereon, that in the event of war many of the British would enrol themselves in the Corps. The shooting of these men is distinctly good.
Arrangements have also been made to relieve the Garrison Artillery of the heavy work of hoisting ammunition, &c., by the enrolment of eighty coolies, who come into pay on the preparation for defence. Some selected Chinese will also at once be enrolled as scouts and messengers.
