Our yachting correspondent writes:- During yesterday morning the shocking news of the death of Captain McDonald of the ss. Klang became known in the Yacht Club and cast a gloom over all present. The Club flag was flown at half mast in mourning for one that can truly be said to have endeared himself through his manliness and kindly courtesy to everyone who had the privilege of knowing him. A splendid type of British seaman and gentleman, he has run his race. May he rest in peace!
