ANOTHER THRILL Passengers of the Electric Star at 11.55 a.m, were also given а thrill when after a slow passage across the harbour, they eventu- ally found themselves within a stone's throw of the Vehicular Ferry Whart. Two Yaumati ferry boats-on approaching the wharf and one leaving were seen in an alarmingly close proximity. The Electric Star passed the outgoing ferry with only a few feet to spare, while a junk making its way to- wards the Praya, wall did not make the situation any the more com- fortable!
Later on In the afternoon-3 E to be precise, the Northera Star crossing from Kowloon had narrow shave when she almost collided with the Solar Star bound for the Mainland. Both vessels were mosing their way across and when in the thick of the fog in the middle of the harbour, pasten- gers of the Northern Star faintly discerned a bulk looming in front of them. Engines wire reversed "full speed astern" while the star swung round to starboard. A collision seemed imminent bat the vessels passed within a few feet of each other!
Further excitement was in store
for passengers of the ferry which left Kowloon at 5.25 p.m. The fog which still persisted heavily in the harbour entirely obliterated any object even ten yards away. When about a quarter of the way across.
the harbour, the Submarine Otus the harbour, the Bubmarine Otus
suddenly loomed up, broadside on the on-coming ferry. The latter vessel at once reversed her engines while the submarine nosed her way in a northerly direction... Both crafts passed within a few yards of each other.
