American bombers and submarines are taking a heavy toll of Japanese shipping and generally this causes difficulties for Stanley Camp. But today they get a pleasant surprise: the shortage of coal in occupied Hong Kong means that the electricity supply has become so unreliable that the freezers at the Dairy Farm cold storage facility aren't working so the Japanese send in the pheasants. On the 23rd they'll get more of the same and on the 25th patridge will be served.
A most welcome addition to the boney fish that replaced meat in February.
