COMPARATIVE FIGURES
Some Idea of the extraordinary condition is given by the fact that the average draught limit at this time of year for vessels leaving Kluklang for Hankow is 33 feet as compared with the present draught limit of 9.3 feet. Even at Kiukiang, the draught limit is down to 13.2
fect.
Over a period of many years the faverage water mark at Hankow for this time of year has been 21 feet as compared With 5.9 fce The water mark, however, is never a definite indicator of the depth of water, due to the fact that the bottom of the river is not a constant factor, varying as silt accumulates and is carried away. The water mark might, under some circumstances, be increasing while the depth of water was de- creasing. or "vice versa.""".

The men forced their way into the National Wallace Monument, near here, and said to the 70-year old curator: "We have come for the sword." They pushed their way into the building and, after locking the curator in 2 room. climbed the winding stairway to the third floor, where they smash- ed the glass-topped case in which the sword was displayed and made off with it.
The curator escaped from the bullding and went down the hill- side to call the police. One of the men is believed to have received a cut when breaking the glass, for there were splashes of blood оп the floor.
