The "Manila Bulletin" of August 9 reports:
·Tossed to and fro, by the waves of the China sea for nearly 28 days, the "Hai Hong," a Ty Camco So- brino vessel plying between Manila and China ports, arrived in the city Sunday morning after a series of wanderings in the sea. An official report, narrating the string of in cidents encountered, was received yesterday at the customs house from Rafael Ferrer, captain of the vessel.

With the absence of a watched lighthouse on the Molocaboc point, ocean-going steamers need to hire local pilots to get through that place Bafely. Similarly, coastwise boats do not dare navigate through the passage at night.
The cost of the project is esti mated at P40,000.

For three days the unfortunate vessel rolled about and more than once nearly capsized. It was only on July 23, that the intensity of the storm relaxed. The helm was re- paired and the "Hai Hong" was able to reach the port of San VI cente where protected from the strong winds, her crew could attend to the damages on deck.
The distance between Keelung and Manila is 700 nautical miles and under normal conditions the trip is made in four days. It took the "Hai Hong" 28 days to make the trip. The "Hai Hong" carried a cargo of 1,041 tons of coal. She is booked to leave for China in a few days after some repairs are effected.
