MYSTERY FLARES IN CHINESE COMPANIES

About two miles from the shore,
Powerful searchlights were used to sweep the sea and pierce the drizzle that hung like a mist over the water, but no boat in distreas could be found..
At dawn a sort of roll-call was
made among the fisher-folk of Shoreham, and it was found that all the boats that put to sea last night had returned safely to har. bour.
Coastguards searched the beach, but found no wreckage.
The flares were first seen at 1.30 a.m. and they burned for at least half an hour.
Two Theories. Two theorica are now advanced to explain them:-
(1) That fishermen from some neighbouring town found them. selves in distresa in the storm and set alight to their clothing to draw attention to their plight. (2) That a motor-boat seen in the district last night caught fire
and was burned out.
Edward Laker, who was fishing a mile from the barbour when the storm broke, saw the distress signals as he returned to the beach.

Edward Laker's brother Frede

Coastguardaman Sydney Rouse eaid:
"It looks as though the įmotor-boat which was seen earlier caught fire. The boat may have been burned and the people drown- ed.
"On the other hand, the boat that sent up the distress signals may have got out of trouble and made off quickly."

In future, no Chinese -owned vessels will be permitted to fly foreign
flaga.
Pointing out that China's Bre lost through sovereign rights the hoisting of foreign flags on Chinese vessels, especially those an- gaged on trade
on the falend waters of their country, the Admin- istrative Yuan says that the prac tice is a most disgraceful and humiliating one and apparently it alone and in no exists in China other country. Hence, says the
order, the practice must stop forth- with and Chinese shipowners who are found to be flying foreign flags on their vessels will be punished to the fullest extent of the law.
In reply, the Association has tele- graphed to Nanking drawing atten- tion to the fact that members of the Association have not engaged in this practice but certain persona who are not members of the Assor clation have been known to be re- aorting to it in order to prevent their vessels from being mandeered by the Central Govern. ment in cases of urgency and in order to secure foreign protection and, in case of necessity, immunity from Chinese laws.

Her draft
She ran very sucessfully as a Cape passenger ship, and as a tran- sport in the Boer War, until in 1908 she was transferred to her builders, Mesars, Barclay, Curle and Co., in part payment of new ton- nage, as by the time she was sur- plus to the requirements of the allied Union and Castle lines. They re-named her Westmount, and there was talk of her going on to the Now Zealand trade, but within a few weeks she was sold to the Compania Trasatlantica, who re- named her C. Lopez y Lopez in honour of the founder of the com- pany.
Under the Spanish flag she was reserved for иве ля ам Auxiliary cruiser from the beginning, and employed on commercial work prin- cipally on the North Atlantic ser- vice until 1923, when she was put In 1926 on to the Japanese run,

Sea was severely buffeted ere reach- ing her destination.
The Hull representative. of the Mércantile Marne Serivice. As80- ciation had an interview with the chief officer, who is a member of |that organisation, who was able to relate how the port bulwarks were torn adrift as a result of which 300 tons of timber was lost, and the bottom of one of the ship's lifeboats stove in.
The gale increased in severity. At first, it was blowlug from the W.S.W., then from N.N.W., and
from the S.E. After six days the vessel was caught in a N.N.W. gale, and shipped a big sea, following which she took a dangerous liat
to port, and to recover balanco somo lashings on the aft deck that held the loge together were cut, thus re- leasing some of the timber över board. The chief concern was ob- 12th Feb. viously. to get the ship on as even a keel as possible. Through the rolling of the timber two men, were trapped in the focastle for a mat- ter of eight hours, and the greatest difficulty was experienced in rescu- Ing them, because of the danger of being carried away with the shift ing cargo as the rescuers made their way across the deck, the con- dition of which made It necessary for everyone to sleep in the engine room. Approximatly half of the deck cargo has been lost.
