Mr, G. E. Stewart

It is with great regret that Wwe have to record the death of Mr.

Stewart at Hastings on July 9%. Up to the time of his retigement, Mr. Stewart had been valued member of the staff of Messrs. Butterfield & Swire at Hongkong, Shanghai and various outports, While in Shanghai he was an active member of Mih-Ho-Leong Ca, S.P.D. in his early days, and a Keen oarsman, rowing in the Mi Ho-Loongs and Scottish eights. He was also an enthusiastic volunteer, being at one time captain of "A"

$.V.C, and Captain of the Machine Gun Ca., Later he was, Adjutant of the Volanteer Forees in Hongkong, and Captain of the Scout Company, Hongkong Volunteers. In Hongkong, he, we believe, was, also one of the A.D.C.'s to the Governor.

He was a keen member of the Shanghai Rugby Football Club in his early days.

He left China in 1926, and the sympathy of his many friends out here is extended to Mrs. Stewart, his two sons and daughter.
