A belated report from Canton states that the motor launch "Hoi Tai," while on her way from Canton to Lungkong on Sept. 12, sank in rough weather off Sam Shan in the Namhoi District with the loss of over 10 lives.
The vessel left on schedule from Canton at 9, a.m. with 60- 70 passengers and a cargo of general merchandise. The wen- ther. became rougher and the Vessel got completely out of control round about 3 p.m. and sunk.
The motor boat "Shun Hing" saved about 40 of the passen kers whom she took back to Canton.
