TWO GOOD SCOUTS.

Ellis Kadoorie Boys' Work.

The Hongkong Boy Scouts have not been formed very long, but have given several indications already of the fact that during their short existence they have become imbued with a spirit which shows the value of their training. The following incident should not pass unnoticed. Particulars are as contributed by a correspondent: "At 10 p.m. on the 15th inst., two boys were preparing for bed in their houses in Gutzlaff Street when two shots rang out. They ran into the street, and saw that a man had been murdered. Full-grown men in the neighbourhood feared for their skins and kept away. Not so these two boys. They went up to the dying man and carried him to the Police Station. The blood was pouring freely from two wounds and the boys became covered with blood. One was only 15 years of age and the other 17. Their names are Chan Hung-yun and Li Hok-wai. This brave act would never have been recorded had it not been that the Inspector of Police at the Central Station sent for them again and so it came to notice."

The boys attend Ellis Kadoorie School.
