“...one name: yet I considering
the name, judge that it is the name of a pagod, or of the
ruler whom they obey. Now that name was Ivuei Chiu,
and in his honour is all this concourse: and methought
he wras one of those rulers of whom Tully in his Disputa-
cions makes mention, who being themselves stricken in
years and doting, will that all who follow them shall also
be lunatick.
Although Empire Day fell this year on a Friday, a
half-holiday was especially arranged in order to provide
time for the schools to take part in the Sports.
The afternoon’s proceedings began at 2.15, when all
present assembled in front of the Boys’ School to witness
the unfurling of the Union Jack, after hearing a few ap-
propriate remarks from H.B.M. Consul, Mr. Pratt. The
Sports themselves, which included many of the old fav-
ourites as well as a few novelties, were most successful,
while the tea was very much appreciated. Suffice it to
say that the whole programme was thoroughly enjoyed,
and that all who shared that...”

A PICNIC AT THE BLUFF
$x
A picnic for the three schools was arranged for the
first Register Holiday of the Summer Term. At ten
o’clock the Harbour Tug, engaged for the occasion, an-
chored opposite the B.S. Two crews of boys rowed the
parties out to the launch, which then set off for the Bluff,
towing a small lighter as well as the “Hector” and “Nep-
tune”. A landing was made off the Socony godowns, tiffin
being served in the company’s grounds.
After the meal the party split up into small groups,
some exploring the numerous caves, others climbing to the
topmost peak. Tea was at three, and at five the tugs set
out for home. It was a most enjoyable outing, though
partly spoiled by an accident which occurred in the after-
noon when Bruce McIntyre was injured by a fall from a
cliff. As soon as the launch arrived home he was taken
to the Hospital, where he remained in a state of semi-
consciousness for some days, after which he rapidly re-
covered, and is now back again at school....”

The Committee finally responsible for the editing of

the departure of Miss McCarthy whose able suggestions and
inspiring enthusiasm have contributed so much to the success

“...IN MEMORIAM.
Once at the close of the Easter Holidays and
again at the close of the Summer Term a dark shadow
was cast over the Schools by bereavement. In the first
instance John Richardson, aged nine, the son of
the present C.I.M. Business Manager at Chefoo, Was
fatally injured by the explosion of a bomb, which Was
left evidently by a Chinese soldier off the Ninghai Rd.
and which John picked up and threw away. He had
been attending the Preparatory School since 1925. The
funeral, which was attended by a large number of friends,
including some of the boys and girls, took place on
Thursday, May 2nd.
News of the serious condition of affairs in Kansu
and of the danger incurred by missionaries from exposure
to the risk °f disease increased in Volume during the term.
Finally Mr. George Findlay Andrew Wired to the effect
that Mr. L. R. Rist, father of Edna, Stanley and Rus-
sell, Was suffering from typhus. The disease took its
all too customary course and death ensued on July 9th.
In God’s providence...”
