MID-HARBOUR TRANSFER FROM FERRY
The exceedingly rare, if not unprecedented, spec- tacle of the mid-hárbour transfer of a crowded ferry, resulted this morn- ing from an engine break- down aboard the "Night Star."
The "Night Star" left Kowloon at 9 a.m. and engine trouble de- veloped when she was about three minutes out. Other ferries steer- ed close in and offered assistance; but it was not until the "Night Star" had been drifting for from fifteen to twenty minutes that it was decided to transfer the pas sengers.
They were taken on board, an- other, fairly full, férry without in- cident and on to Hong Kong. It is understood that the gineer aboard the "Night Star" repaired the defect shortly after- wards.
