The Daily Mirror publishes an account on page 4 of yesterday’s inaugural meeting of the Hong Kong Fellowship. The paper describes speakers having to go out into the streets to address an overflow of ‘hundreds’ of people from all over the country. Six hundred had been invited but over a thousand formed ‘a long, anxious queue before the doors’.

Mrs. M. Knight of Leyton asked Phyllis Harrop if she knew anything of her daughter Marjorie Madgwick and her husband: Harrop did know them and told her they were both alive and together.

Note:

It seems that Sergeant C. S. Madgwick’s first wife, Dora, was the victim of a shooting at Lok Ma Chau Police Station on July 21, 1930.
