WARSHIP” WAS A SURVEY SHIP
Shanghai, To-day. Two Japanese destroyers are stated to have attacked and sunk a Chinese survey ship off the Chekiang coast yesterday.
The Chinese vessel was armed only with a machine-gun and fled into the port of Tungchow, where the hail of shells from the destroyers guns sent her to the bottom
