MYSTERIOUS Theft of Diamonds.

Precious stones, worth almost $780,
900, in transit between London and
Ceylon, have disappeared. This is said
to be the biggest robbery of its kind
between London and the East, though
there have been many greater between
other places. The famous pearl neck
lace case between London and Paris of
a few years ago, in which the pearls
were replaced by Jumps of sugar, in
volved an amount of S740,000
There is remarkable resemblance
between this case and that on the
Nagoya, which occurred last July. On
that occasion diamonds worth S250,0O0
to India.
