'HONG KHENG' EXPORT
RESCUE
|Warning shots were fired by HMS “Hart” during rescue operations at Chilang Point on Satur- day to stop a panic among the passengers of the wrecked steamer "Hong Kheng," No one was injured and the sound of the firing had the desired effect, an eye-witness told the "China' Mail" yesterday.
With the exception of one man who died on board of fright, all the 1,800 passengers-men, wo- men and children-were taken off successfully by HMS "Hart." and the USS "Fox" and "Hawkins" and were brought back to Hong Kong early yesterday morning.
