On Monday the British garrison, consisting of a battalion of the 10th Jats, left Shanghai for India. The camp ay Jessfield was left at eight o'clock, the column being preceded by four mounted Sikh police, and headed by Major Maxwell, the officers, and the ro gi mental band. When passing the Ger-{man Camp in Bubbling Well Road, the troops were joined by Count von Schlippenbach, the Commander of the German garrison, and several German officers, who accompanied their comrades in arms. At the Loongfei Bridge the Town Band met the troops, and played them down -the Maloo, and along the Bund into Hongkew, where they matched straight on board the transport Clive, moored at the Shanghai jo ud Hongkew Wharf. The men, who were tired in khaki, service uniform, looked and well, and their progress through the Settlement created much interest among the foreign and Chinese spectators.
In the afternoon a reception was held on board the Clive by the officers for their friends, and it was largely attended, Mr. R. W. Mansfield (British Consul), Mr. S. A. Bourne (Acting Chief Justice). It. Col. Ducat (Military Attache), It. Col. Mackenzie (S.V.C.), Madame and Ratard (French Consul), Colonel Des-sino. and the whole of the officers the French garrison, being conspicuous on deck. The Town Band, stationed near the ship, slaved appro-nate tunes from twa till three o'clock, and then all visitors disembarked. "Auld Long Svene." "A Life on the Ocean Wave." and "God Save the Kino" were given by the rozimental band, and the big ship slowly moved away from the wharf. As she started on her homeward journey, hearty cheers were given and responded to. and the crew of H.MS. Pique, formed up on the deck of the warship. gave their com-tades of the sister service a rousing farewell.
Throughout their stay in Shanghai, the officers have made numerous friends, who wore all sorry to bid them gond-bye. and the men hare done much to enhance. by their behaviour. the fine record for lent conduct held by the men of the Indian Arms, who have been in China since 1900.
