English Spelling – Apostrophe + S, after S
This lesson will help clear up the confusion when using ‘s’ for singular pronouns ending in ‘s’ or with the ‘z’ sound. We had some questions about this after one of my earlier English pronunciation lessons

Both of them are correct, as james explained in the lesson.
The first case is usual case.
In the second case we take of the ‘s’ because the pronunciation is difficult. If you use this form, you must use it through out of the whole document, otherwise, it becomes confusing!
