B. & S. SHIPS STRANDED. ASSISTANCE ON THE WAY.
Misfortune has attended two B, and S. ships in the Hainan Straits, both of which have gone aground, one stranding through going to the assistance of the other; while a third vessel broke all her ropes and wires in an endeavour to tow off one of the vessels.
The story of the stranding was brought to Hongkong yesterday morning by the sia. Taming.
On January 31st the 8.8. Huran (Capt McKenzie) left Haiphong for Shanghai with a cargo of cement and stranded 8 miles west of Lamko 'Light, at the western entrance to the Hainan Straits. A few days later the 5.8. Kweyang (Capt. Martin) carrying a heavy general cargo and passengers, put in an appearance, from Bangkok, bound. to Hongkong vùi Hoihow.

The Taming (belonging to the same company) passed the spot on her way to Hongkong and Haiphong and she
attempted to tow off the Aweiyang, but broke all her ropes and wires in. the effort. Finally she took off the passen- gers and brought them on to Hongkong. reaching here, yesterday.
The fan has now been stranded for a week. The Hongkong office have res ceived reports that she is in danger of breaking up, but this danger is not con-
eidered imminent.
Assistance is being sent with all"pos- sible, despatch. Last night the aikoo Dock tug left with lighters and coolies for the apot and this morning the Taming is leaving with stores for the
two ships.
