Mr. C. Fitzroy Lloyd left Shanghai on Thursday evening to take up his new post as Inspector of Southern Lights, at Amoy after 17 years in the Customs service in Shanghai, in the Marine Department of the Coast Inspector's Staff. Mr. Lloyd was largely responsible in the early days of the Yacht Club for its growth in membership, from about 30 to more than 250, and it was partly through his efforts that the Club was granted the privilege of flying the blue ensign, the only club in the world outside the Colonies possessing this authority by Admiralty warrant. While Commodore of the Club, Mr. Lloyd built the Ethel L., now sailed as the Eveline, and also presented the Club with the Foam, now used as its headquarters.
At the beginning of the star, Distrid Scout-Master Lloyd, was known to every foreign boy scout here and as Commissioner of the Chinese scouts to many of the latter also. Later, Mr. Lloyd was attached to the British Ministry of Information of Eastern Siberia where he held the temporary rank of Captain for some little time in Vladivostok. Recently in the Artillery, S. V._C., and before that|* in the Customs Ca., these and other activities must have filled up most of his out-of-office hours.
Mrs. Lloyd will leave for Amoy next Thursday and both she and her husband will take with them the good wishes of a large circle of friends to their new home.
