the burning steamer lowered boat.

There was great difficulty in rescu-

The Ceres reached Dover by mid

Among the saved are many .ladles

An event, which speaks for itself of
the lawless state of the country bor-
dering on and beyond the new terri-
tory, Kowloon, China, took place quite
recently. A gang of desperadoes kid-
anpped a lad of seven years, with a
view of holding him for ransom. A
message was sent to the father de-
manding of hlm a ransom somewhat
beyond bis means, and consequently
the father could not pay it. The cap-
tors, believing that he was able to
raise the money tf he wished, again
sent Lo hlm, threatening that 1f the
motley was not sent within a specified
time the boy would be returned to
him In pickle, and, the money not
being sent, actually put tbelr threat
Into execution, the dead body of the
lad beteg returned to the father In a
Jar of brine. The perpetrators of the
crime ere still at large, and appar-
ently the Chinese authorities are mak-
Ing no effort to arrest them. •
The
ALtuordhtg to interviews with some
of the iretssertgers, which elicited
tbe fact that moat of them are
American citizens who have come
for a vacation in Europe. all were
ordered an deck at -6 cerlook-em_B tel
newtay woinln6, when -Ellis Were
informed that a dledastrons flre had
broken out among the general cargo.
and, am the crew were unable to
muter it, the captain said he con-
sidered It advisable for She Wiesen -
germ to take to the boats.
At this time 1t was evident that
the fire had obtained a thorough
hold upon the cargo. Smoke and.
flames were aaceadlog with over -
'powering force, and causing the
greato.t alarm. The crew. accord-
ing to several passengers, worked
like heroes in their endeavors W keep
the flames under, but the great
quantity .of linseed among' the cargo
and old supplied by this made all
their efforts Hopeless. There was
very great excttedlhit among the
women and children, but the example
set by the coolness of Capt. Frollcb
and the crew had a calming effect
upon the passengers generally.
The boats were promptly got over
the side, the crew working as if
tbey were at drill. The safety of
the ladies and children was tbe first
oonalderatlon.
