Hankow, Nov. 1.
Bluejuckets of the British gunboat Tern discovered a howling, deserted Chinese baby on the muddy foreshore on Saturday, which they adopted as the ship's mascot with the intention of bringing the child up as a Chinese sailor.

The baby, who was christened Elizabeth Tern—after Princess Elizabeth—was hastily despatched to the care of the Sisters of St. Anne, who are dealing with many similar cases of deserted children.
