|HONG KONG-CANTON STEAMER
IN DIFFICULTIES,
GUNBOAT STANDING BY.
News was received in the Colony this morning that the a.. "Kwong Tung," on the Hong Kong-Canton run, had run aground seven or eight miles down the front reach abovo Whampoa on its way to Canton. “
The grounding occurred about 6 a.m. yesterday, the "Kwong Tung" having left Hong Kong at midnight. Skippers of incoming steamers report that a Chinese gunboat is standing by to render assistance if necessary, although it is thought that little damage, if any, has been sustained.
The "Kwong Tung," although Chinese owned, flies the British flag. The owners are the Yuen On Steamship Company.
HARBOUR DREDGING. The following notice to mariners has been issued by the Harbour Master, under date October 18, re- lative to the movement of vessels In the harbour, while the dredger Is working:-
It is hereby notified that under authority conferred by Section 22 (5). of Ordinance 10 of 1899 vessels are prohibited from passing be- tween the dredger working off Kowloon Point and the four buoys laid to the westward of her over a line approximately 600 yards long. These buoys are marked by day by a red flag, by night by a red light.
HARBOUR BUOY SUNK. Owing to a temporary hanging up of the ship's engines, the s.8. "Leungshan" was temporary out of control on berthing at the Can ton wharf yesterday. The anchor of the Canton steamer fouled the buoy of the steam launch "Victoria" with the result that the buoy was aunk. Craft from Talkoo were engaged during the afternoon in lifting the anchor to clear the moorings.
