THE
Reports received on Satur- day from the Commander of H.M.S. Sepoy seem to indicate that further searching so long after the wreck of the Kwong- sang is not likely to reveal any. thing that will throw much further light on the tragedy.

A thorough search of the south shore of Funing Bay, in the vicinity of Low Neck, whilst it resulted in certain discoveries, did not prove to be very helpful: Eleven Chinese bodies 'found, none of which could be identified. Also fifteen graves were seen, but it is considered unlikely that by digging them up any of the bodies could be iden tified, even had time permitted exhumation,

No Bodies Identified. The messages are emphatic upon the point that no bodies have been identified, in spite of reports between ships to that effect.
The finding of a lifebuoy be- longing to the s.s. Benarty, of Leith, near Incog Islands, is also reported. It will be recalled that the Benarty was caught by the same typhoon in which the Kwongsang and Waishing came to grief. The Chief Engineer, Mr. Grimwood, was washed over- board, and drowned. The ship also lost one of its bonts, and was so badly knocked about that she had to go into dock for re- pairs upon arrival in Hong Kong
