Oncial Statement,
In the course of a statement yes. terday morning, Mr. C. W. Jeffries, Director of the Royal Observatory, stated that the gale lasted for quito 24 hours from 8.30 am, on Thursday. The wind direction dur ing that period varied from E.N.E. to E.S.E.; with an average velo- city of 27 m.p.h.

Small Shift In Wind Direction.
The typhoon slackened ite pro gress after passing the meridian of Hong Kong and increased in in- tensity considerably. This explains the small shit in wind direction and its constant velocity.
Collision Averted,
The only tragic consequence of the gale so far reported concerns a cargo junk which was on its way
to Hong Kong from Lama Island on Thursday morning. This craft capsized during a sudden squa!! and precipated its 19 occupants into the water.
