BAIN, George Murray (HONGKONG) journalist; proprietor of the “China Mail” and “Wha Tze Yat Po”; Born August 24, 1842, at Montrose, [Angus] Scotland.  Educated Montrose Borough school.  Came to Hong Kong on February 9, 1864 [age 22]; joined “China Mail” as sub editor and reporter; became editor later, and proprietor in 1872; during 1877 in 1882 took active part in fighting the vicious policy of the then governor, Sir John Pope Hennessy; has consistently upheld British interests in maintaining impartial attitude towards other nationals; one of the oldest journalist in Far East; takes interest in all public movements and supports all sports.  Clubs Hong Kong; jockey in cricket, etc. Address: Birnam Brae, Conduit Road, Hong Kong.

NOTE: The editorializing implicit in vicious policy. Although the merchant class of Hong Kong often locked horns with the Catholic-Irish Hennessy, his policies look enlightened from today’s perspective. Bain’s paper, China Mail, was the more conservative of the newspapers, so his crusade against Hennessy is not surprising. What is fascinating to see is that this part was lifted and repeated verbatim in his obituary: ... took active part in fighting the vicious policy of the then governor, Sir John Pope Hennessy.  The Straits Times, 22 April 1909. http://newspapers.nl.sg/Digitised/Article/straitstimes19090422.2.82.aspx

He was a huge man, and had played Rugby football for Ireland, but like most big, powerful men, was very kind-hearted. He dearly loved an Irishman naturally, and while he was here the Police Courts rang with the brogue, for nearly all his recruits came from the Royal Irish Constabulary. He retired in 1913, and when the War broke out resumed his old position of Instructor of Musketry, in which he did most useful work, helping in the training of the new battalions. One of his sons is now Chief Police Officer in Johore.

NOTE: Born 1865, presumably at Ballykilbeg, near Downpatrick in Co. Down, Ireland. Postal addresses — Ballykilbeg, County Down See death notice 1908 October 2. The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advisor and Hong Kong Gravemarker: In loving memory of/ Lewis Audley M Johnston/ C.G.S.(Colonial Government Service) / Postmaster General Hong Kong/ eldest son of the late/ Wm. Johnston Ballykilbeg M.P./ born 12th September 1865/ died 30th September 1908 [age 43]. http://gwulo.com/node/8741

His death was unexpected. The cause was given as blood poisoning, but the Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser speculated: we are left in some doubt as to whether that was septicaemia, tetanus of even possibly plague”.  He was popular: His pleasant Irish temperament made the late Mr. Johnston one of the most loveable of men. To his intimate friends here, and they were many, he was always “John” and the news of his premature death comes to all who had the privilege of his friendship with a deep sense of bereavement. Mr. L.A.M. JOHNSTON married about five years ago when on a visit to settle his dead father’s affairs, and he brought Mrs. Johnston out with him to Hong Kong. Mrs. Johnston had again just joined her husband after a visit to England, only to lose him immediately after her arrival in Hongkong”.

For background on his father, a radical Orangeman and MP for Belfast, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Johnston_%28Irish_politician%29  and

http://www.proni.gov.uk/introduction_-_johnston_of_ballykilbeg_papers_d880.pdf

It is interesting that WiIliam JOHNSTON went to prison for his infractions, and was then immediately elected MP. His daughter later converted to Catholicism, and his son seemed ot have kept his distance, returning only after his death.

He was also courageous to the point of lunacy. He made two remarkable journeys across Asia in the 1870s, after having almost assuredly been influenced by the previous ride of Catherine de Bourboulon. Burnaby first rode across all of Central Asia, ending up at the Amir's palace at Khiva. Then, after having avoided the Czar's spies in Constananople, Burnaby rode across all of Turkey. His books, A Ride to Khiva and On Horseback through Asia Minor are part of The Long Riders Literary Project.  After surviving these equestrian adventures, Burnaby led a contingent of English cavalry against the Mahdi's troops in the Sudan. He died there from a spear wound.
